About Silky:
Um Kogyo Inc in Japan is specialised in producing handsaws since 1919. Through the years they have established a worldwide reputation for developing the best pruning saws as well as the best woodworking saws.
With the special techniques employed and the quality of raw materials selected it’s no surprise that the saws from Silky are the preferred choice of professional users across the globe. Silky has a vast range of more than a 100 different saws with different teeth for different purposes:
coarse teeth for wet and soft wood
fine teeth for dry and hard wood
Silky saws are available for a wide range of applications. Whether you’re an arborist, furniture maker, fruit grower, carpenter or a private user, Silky has a saw suited for your specific needs. Moreover, each user acknowledges the extremely fine cut and smooth work that is produced by these Japanese saws.
Working with a Silky is different from working with a standard saw. These saws cut on the pull stroke resulting in much less vibrations and a straighter cut. By doing so you’re wasting remarkably less energy and this allows you to work longer. The super fine cut destroys up 50% less wood cells, allowing the tree to heal faster and greatly reducing the risk of unwanted fungi. Due to the special induction hardening of the teeth these saws stay sharp much longer while maintaining unparalleled flexibility.
