Hishika "Noko-House" 180mm Hand-Forged Replacement Pruning Saw Blade [Optimized-Temper Carbon Steel / Thin Blade Back-Tapered / Resharpenable / Made in Miki, Japan]

Description

The official replacement blade for the Hishika "Noko-House" 180mm Hand-Forged Pruning Saw series. Handcrafted in Miki, Japan, by master blacksmiths at Hishika Industry, this precision replacement blade restores the agile control, smooth pull action, and surgical cutting accuracy of your original tool.

The "Noko-House" series features an optimized hand-tempering process that slightly moderates steel hardness compared to Hishika’s flagship full-hardness line. This precise heat treatment imparts enhanced steel elasticity and fracture resistance while maintaining an exceptionally sharp cutting edge—making the blade more forgiving during tough field use without sacrificing edge longevity.

Featuring Hishika's signature Back-Tapered Thin Blade Geometry (Sen-Togi), the blade spine is ground thinner than the cutting edge to eliminate kerf friction and prevent binding in green wood. The razor-sharp teeth slice cell walls cleanly, leaving polished cross-sections that promote rapid tree healing. Made from high-grade Japanese carbon tool steel, this replacement blade is fully resharpenable (Metate) for decades of continuous professional use.

Note: Hand-tempered carbon steel blades are fine, precision cutting tools. Apply force exclusively on the PULL stroke without twisting or bending.
