The Silky Ultra Accel Curved Professional 240mm folding saw is built for serious pruning in New Zealand conditions. The curved 240mm blade is made from high quality Japanese steel with Silky’s famous impulse hardened teeth, so it bites quickly into green and dry wood and stays sharp for a long time. The pull stroke cutting action gives you control on ladders, in trees and around tight spots, while still removing wood efficiently.

A rigid aluminium chassis and rubber coated handle give the saw a light but solid feel in the hand. The curved handle shape and grippy surface are designed for all weather use, which suits New Zealand’s mix of damp winters and hot summers. When you finish a cut, the blade folds safely into the handle and locks closed, so it can be carried in a tool bag or on a belt without exposed teeth.

The locking mechanism is simple and secure. The blade locks firmly in the open position for cutting, and snaps closed when you are done. That combination of sharp blade, solid lock and comfortable handle is why Ultra Accel saws are popular with arborists, orchardists and landscapers, as well as lifestyle block owners who want professional quality gear.

From pruning fruit trees in Central Otago to tidying shelterbelts in Waikato or natives in coastal gardens, the Ultra Accel Curved Professional 240mm is a compact, go to saw for everyday tree work. With Silky’s build quality and a 12 month manufacturer warranty, it is a big step up from basic folding saws sold in general hardware stores.
