The Trusted Saw for Professional Arborists
U.S.,” said Nick Bonner from TreeStuff.com. “It’s by far the best selling saw in the world.” But Silky has a wide range of saws for professional arborists, including saws with large teeth for cutting through dead wood, and saws with small teeth for detailed work like pruning ornamentals.
Amongst arborists, Silky saws dominate. “The Zubat is the one that made Silky famous in the U.S.,” said Nick Bonner from TreeStuff.com. “It’s by far the best selling saw in the world.”
But Silky has a wide range of saws for professional arborists, including saws with large teeth for cutting through dead wood, and saws with small teeth for detailed work like pruning ornamentals. The blades are aggressively sharp; they cut faster than any other hand-powered blade.
Austin Maidment, Marketing Director and Groundsman at Brandenberger TCP, says his company has been using Silky saws exclusively for a handful of years. “They’re great quality, dependable, they stay sharp, and they hold up for many years,” said Maidment. “With Silky, we never worry about a saw compromising an arborist or the project they’re working on.”
One of Maidment’s favorite saws is the Sugoi 360 arborist handsaw. Silky’s best-selling, state-of-the-art, professional hand saw, the Sugoi 360 has razor-sharp XL teeth and an ultra-fast cutting, mono-constructed, 14" curved blade for optimized cutting speed with less effort. The grip is large, comfortable, and secure, which gives the saw strength and flexibility over its full length.
“I like that it hooks into climbing systems well, it clips onto a belt securely, and it’s super comfortable to use,” said Maidment.
Maidment also loves the Hayauchi.* “With the Hayauchi, we don’t need to reset the tie in point. We can just get the job done, even if it’s ten or 20 feet off the ground. The saw stays where you want it to on your hip. It pulls out and pushes in smoothly.”
In addition to the Sugoi 360 and the Hayauchi, Brandenberger TCP keeps a Silky Zubat Professional Arborist Edition in every truck for small crab apple prunes and other times when a hand pruner doesn’t have the strength to get the job done.
Silky saws have teeth configurations from extra fine to extra-large. Every saw’s teeth configuration is noted on the blade next to the saw length.
“Across the board, Silky saws are really reliable, comfortable, and dependable,” said Maidment. “They help Brandenberger TCP do the best job for our customers.”
