The Silky Zubat 270mm is one of the most popular hand saws in the Silky range, and for good reason. Compact, sharp and perfectly balanced, it is built for serious pruning work in New Zealand conditions, from backyard fruit trees through to lifestyle blocks and commercial orchards.

The 270mm curved blade glides through green and dry wood with very little effort. Silky’s razor sharp impulse hardened teeth cut on the pull stroke, giving you control in the tree or on a ladder while still removing material quickly. The curved profile helps keep the blade in the cut, especially when you are working above shoulder height in shelterbelts or natives.

A comfortable rubberised handle gives you a secure grip in wet or cold weather, which suits changeable New Zealand seasons. The Zubat comes with a hard scabbard that protects the blade and lets you carry the saw safely on your belt. Silky leg straps can be added (sold separately) if you want to strap the scabbard to your leg for climbing or full days in the orchard.

Silky build quality, Japanese steel and a 12 month manufacturer warranty give you confidence this saw will handle regular use. For anyone in New Zealand who is ready to step up from basic pruning saws, the Zubat 270-33 quickly becomes a go to tool for clean, fast cutting.
