The Silky F180 180mm Folding Saw with Tabs is a compact, go anywhere pruning saw that fits perfectly into New Zealand garden and farm life. The 180mm straight blade is made from high quality Japanese steel with impulse hardened teeth that cut on the pull stroke, giving you smooth, controlled cuts in both green and dry wood. It is a great all rounder for fruit trees, ornamentals, natives and shelterbelts.

Medium tooth spacing gives a good balance of speed and finish, so you can tidy up feijoas, prune apples and pears, or trim shelter trees without tearing at the branches. Because the saw cuts on the pull stroke the blade stays in tension, which makes it easier to control in awkward spots or when you are working from a ladder.

The handle is tough but comfortable, with a rubberised grip that feels secure in wet or cold New Zealand conditions. The blade locks firmly in the open position for safe cutting, and folds right back into the handle when you are finished so there are no exposed teeth in your tool bag, ute or pack.

This “with tabs” version of the F180 has integrated mounting tabs on the handle so you can attach Silky leg straps or clip it to a harness or belt. That is ideal for arborists, orchardists and lifestyle block owners who want their saw close at hand without having to carry it in hand all day.

Built to Silky’s usual standard and backed by a 12 month manufacturer warranty, the F180 with Tabs is a reliable, affordable folding saw that will quickly become a go to tool for pruning and general property maintenance across New Zealand.
