Silky Sheathed Saws

Silky Sheathed Saws – Precision Cutting for Every Garden

At Radmore & Tucker we proudly present the definitive collection of Silky sheathed pruning saws – the benchmark for British gardeners, arborists and horticultural professionals alike. Whether you are trimming a modest rose hedge or felling a mature fruit‑tree limb, our expertly curated range offers both curved and straight‑blade options crafted to deliver unrivalled control, durability and comfort.

Why choose Silky? The brand’s heritage spans over 80 years of relentless innovation in saw technology. Each blade is encased in a resilient sheath that guards against rust, accidental nick‑ups and the inevitable wear of outdoor work. Our knowledgeable team, steeped in pruning science, stands ready to match you with the perfect saw for your specific task – from delicate bonsai pruning to heavy‑duty woodland clearance.

What Sets Our Silky Sheathed Saws Apart?

• Sheath‑Protected Blades: Hard‑chrome or impulse‑hardened sheaths keep the cutting edge pristine, season after season.
• Optimised Tooth Geometry: High‑TPI (teeth per inch) for silky‑smooth cuts on fine branches; low‑TPI for rapid, powerful bites through larger timber.
• Ergonomic Handles: Non‑slip rubber or composite grips reduce fatigue during marathon pruning sessions.
• Versatile Lengths: From compact 300 mm models ideal for tight hedges to robust 420 mm blades that reach into the canopy.

The Full Spectrum of Silky Sheathed Saw Excellence

When it comes to tackling the varied challenges of garden maintenance, one tool should never be a compromise. Our Silky sheathed saws are engineered for every scenario – from casual weekend bush‑clearing to the exacting demands of professional arboriculture.

Silky Gomtaro 300 mm – The Fruit‑Tree Specialist

The Gomtaro’s 300 mm hard‑chrome‑plated blade is a favourite among orchardists. Its fine, high‑TPI tooth count (seven teeth spaced just one inch apart) produces an ultra‑smooth incision that encourages rapid callus formation, protecting the tree from disease and decay. Weighing a feather‑light 120 g, it remains comfortably balanced for extended use on delicate fruit‑tree limbs.

Silky Yamabico 330 mm – Dual‑Side Versatility

The Yamabico features teeth on both edges of the blade, giving you the freedom to switch between high‑TPI precision and low‑TPI speed without swapping tools. Its impulse‑hardened, taper‑ground non‑set tooth design maximises durability while minimising vibration – perfect for gardeners who demand consistency across a range of branch sizes.

Curved‑Blade Champions: Sugoi 420 mm & Zubat 330 mm

Curved blades excel at hugging the natural curve of small to medium branches, delivering clean cuts that reduce sap loss and promote quicker healing. The Sugoi (420 mm) is a heavyweight in the professional arena – its long reach penetrates deep canopies, while the ergonomic rubber handle ensures a firm grip even when hands are sweaty. Both models include a detachable plastic insert for quick scabbard attachment, and their blades can be sharpened with a simple feather‑edge file or swapped out via a single screw for hassle‑free maintenance.

Straight‑Blade Powerhouses

For those robust, thick limbs that demand brute force, our straight‑blade Silky saws provide the leverage you need. The longer, flatter profile distributes cutting pressure evenly, reducing the risk of blade binding and allowing you to work through stubborn wood with minimal effort.

Choosing the Right TPI for Your Tasks

High TPI (10‑12 teeth per inch): Ideal for fine pruning – roses, ornamental shrubs, and small fruit branches. The result is a clean slice that seals quickly, limiting sap bleed.

Low TPI (4‑6 teeth per inch): Suited to rapid removal of larger timber – garden trees, hedgerow stakes, and firewood preparation. Expect faster cuts at the expense of a slightly rougher finish, which is perfectly acceptable for structural work.

Maintenance Made Simple

All Silky sheathed saws come with a protective sheath that guards against rust and accidental nick‑ups when stored in your shed or toolbox. To keep the blade performing at its peak:

1. Wipe clean after each use to remove sap and debris.
2. Apply a light coat of oil to the sheath for extra corrosion resistance.
3. Sharpen with a feather‑edge file or replace the blade using the easy‑access screw system.
