Hishika 240mm Hand-Forged Replacement Pruning Saw Blade [Variable-Pitch Anti-Clogging Geometry / Maximum Hardness High-Carbon Steel / Resharpenable / Made in Miki, Japan]

Description

The official replacement blade for the Hishika 240mm Effortless-Pull Hand-Forged Pruning Saw series. Handcrafted in Miki, Japan, by master blacksmiths at Hishika Industry, this precision replacement blade restores the expanded stroke length, high-speed cutting efficiency, and friction-free pull action of your original tool.

Engineered to optimize cutting speed by aligning tooth pitch with wood grain density, this blade features Hishika’s proprietary Variable-Pitch Anti-Clogging Tooth Geometry (Futo-pitutchi Metate). By varying tooth angles and incorporating deep-cut gullets, it slices effortlessly across cross-grain, rip-grain, and swirling fibers at tough branch collars without catching or binding.

The extra-deep gullet design continuously ejects wet, sap-heavy sawdust out of the kerf, keeping the 240mm stroke smooth and light to reduce operator shoulder fatigue. Each high-carbon steel blade undergoes full-blade hand-tempering to maximum professional hardness by Miki craftsmen, delivering exceptional tooth rigidity and edge retention. Built with Back-Tapered Thin Blade Geometry (Sen-Togi), the blade spine is ground thinner than the tooth edge to eliminate kerf drag. Slicing cleanly through plant cell structures, it leaves mirror-smooth cuts that accelerate natural tree healing. Made from high-grade Japanese carbon tool steel, this replacement blade is fully resharpenable (Metate) for decades of continuous trade use.

Note: Fully hand-tempered to maximum professional hardness, this carbon steel blade is a fine, precision cutting instrument. Apply force exclusively on the PULL stroke without twisting or pushing.
