The Zübat Ultimate is the ultimate pruning saw for arborists. This Japanese pull saw has the familiar design of the popular Zübat, supplemented with Silky’s latest technologies and a unique look.
With a progressive pitch from 7.5 to 6.5 teeth per 30 mm, the first cut is easily made, after which you can rip through the wood at high speed. The Zübat Ultimate is also the first saw with Silky’s new Gokai-Me teeth. The blade has 4 scraper-shaped teeth that ensure optimum discharge of saw dust. Together with the other non-set teeth, the Zübat Ultimate has an excellent performance on both rip-cuts, cross-cuts and slant-cuts. A true all-rounder!
The full tang blade has a nickel coating which provides a wear-resistant surface and protects against rust. The curved blade works perfectly when cutting above shoulder height and keeps the saw in the cut. The Zübat Ultimate has a moulded rubber handle that fits comfortably in the hand and significantly reduces vibrations.
The saw comes in a rotatable, olive green scabbard with a detachable belt holder and is equipped with 3 small rollers so that the sharp teeth do not damage the cover when taking the saw in and out. The scabbard has an opening at the bottom, allowing moisture and sawdust to fall out of the scabbard.
The Zübat Ultimate blade can also be mounted on the Zübat pole saws series, which means you can use this saw both as a pole saw and as a hand saw.

I’ve not sued this particular saw but I do have a similar Silky saw – it’s awesome. My only question would be over blade life – I don’t think it’s as sharp as it was and can’t be re-sharpened.
I have used it a fair but bit not for anything over an inch or two, but it could cut much larger branches.
Not sure if I’m ready to replace existing saw just yet – they are not cheap, but they are good.
Definitely recommend to others and advice to always wear cloves they are very sharp, the one time I didn’t wear gloves I caught my finger.

Great product. Requires little effort to cut and looks good quality, so should last.

First class Silky as always, the progressive tooth configuration make for a very useful saw. Could be my imagination but I don’t think it clogs as much as an ordinary Zubot, either. I’m used to longer blades 390 & 410 but this is so handy. Excellent service and delivery to NE Scotland (had to pay though).

Just got the professional zubat and so far have only used it for a few small cuts. The ordinary zubat I have used a lot and now don’t bother with carrying a bow saw as the zubat can handle anything up to 6 inches in diameter and with the sheath hung on a belt is immediately at hand. I help clear overgrown footpaths and used alongside a hedge trimmer which clears the small stuff the zubat is all you need particularly when access would be difficult for the bow of a bow saw. Not so good at dealing with a fallen tree lying flat on the ground because of the curved blade but if slightly off the ground you can get in underneath which a bow saw cannot. I gave it 5 stars on review but only 3 stars appeared when submitted.

I only bought saw last week, and have used it once, but very impressed. It was able to cut through quite thick branches, 4″ in diameter. It will be very useful for all my autumnal pruning, especially as it gets where any ordinary long saw can’t access.
I like the strong scabbard for safety of the blade, too.
Had thought it expensive, but well worth the out-lay.
