The Silky 419-42 SUGOWAZA 16.5 in. Hand Saw features a special tapered design from the tooth tip to the back spine to reduce resistance and deliver smoother, easier, faster cutting performance. Hard chrome plating produces an exceedingly durable surface and is resistant to rust and the effects of resin. Using Silky's exclusive MIRAI-ME Smooth Cutting Technology, the SUGOWAZA offers unmatched cutting efficiency and performance. The four cutting angles along the length of the blade leaves a clean, smooth surface. Cuts made on the pull stroke provide maximum control and ergonomic advantage. The chrome-finished slip guard is specifically designed to protect gloves from accidental cuts and picks by tooth or thorn. A mono-constructed blade runs all the way through the handle, eliminating stress and breakage. To replace the blade, simply remove the screws and slip guard. The large grooved rubber handle is comfortable to hold, reduces vibration and offers superior grip in cold and wet conditions. Every SUGOWAZA comes complete with a custom scabbard which includes a D-ring and strap slots to enable attachment to leg, belt or tool board/curtain.
