Best For The home gardener or professional orchardist seeking a lightweight, ultra-sharp, and pocketable folding saw for high-precision pruning and efficient thinning of live wood.

Key Features

• Marquench Hardened Precision Blade: Forged from premium high-carbon Japanese steel and Marquench hardened to achieve maximum toughness, ensuring the blade retains its razor-sharp edge significantly longer than standard folding saws.

• Curved Blade for Positive Pull-Cut: The 17cm curved profile is engineered to grip the branch automatically during the pull stroke, maximizing wood removal and reducing the physical effort required for every cut.

• Secure Press-Button Latch: Features a simple and reliable button lock that allows the blade to be safely folded away into the handle, preventing accidental injury and making it easy to transport in a pocket or tool belt.

• Ergonomic Rubberised Handle: The special rubber-coated grip provides a sure, non-slip hold and reduces vibration, ensuring comfortable use and total control even in damp conditions or during long pruning sessions.

• High-Efficiency Japanese Pull-Cut: Designed for the traditional pull-cut action, which provides a surgical-grade finish on the wood, significantly reducing the risk of disease and promoting faster tree recovery compared to push saws.

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse serves as our office and logistics centre rather than a retail showroom. Because we ship from multiple locations and manage high-turnover stock, not all items are available for immediate pickup.

Lead Times:

• In-Stock Items: Usually ready for dispatch the same day.
• Supplier-Dependent Items: Usually take 2–8 weeks to arrive, depending on supplier availability. Products from Adloheat may take 8–12 weeks to manufacture—they are made to order in Australia by a small business, and longer lead times reflect the care put into quality.

While we strive for fast delivery, some timelines are subject to supplier availability and are beyond our control. We appreciate your patience as we source the best quality gear for your project.
