Silky Zubat 270mm Curved Sheathed Saw Large Teeth No.270-27 [Total Length & Blade: 400mm / 270mm / High-Carbon SK95 Steel / R650 Gentle Curved Blade / 3D Roller Sheath / Red Accents]

Description

Manufactured by Silky (UM Kogyo) in Ono, Japan, the Zubat 270 Large Teeth (270-27) delivers extended reach and superior stroke leverage, making it one of the most widely used curved sheathed handsaws by professional arborists and landscapers worldwide.

Featuring a gently curved R650 blade profile with a 270mm cutting edge, the Zubat automatically draws its teeth deep into wood fibers on every pull stroke without requiring downward pressure. This curved geometry excels in overhead canopy pruning, allowing the saw to bite instantly and slice smoothly through medium-to-thick live branches with minimal physical exertion. Crafted from premium SK95 High-Carbon Steel with Mirai-Me Technology, its aggressive large tooth pitch (7.5 teeth per 30mm) rapidly clears sawdust while cutting smoothly across cross, rip, and slant grains. Precision mirror-ground without tooth set (Non-Set Teeth), it leaves clean, surgical cut surfaces that accelerate bark recovery and protect tree health. With Impulse Hardened Teeth, the razor edge maintains sharpness up to three times longer than standard saws.

Built with a full-tang steel core wrapped in a shock-absorbing vulcanized elastomer rubber grip, the handle dampens cutting vibration to reduce fatigue. The heavy-duty polypropylene sheath features an integrated 3D roller entry system to protect the scabbard, a secure anti-drop lock, and side slots for optional leg strap attachment.

(Compatible replacement blade No.271-27 sold separately).

Key Features & Performance:

 Extended 270mm Reach & Leverage: Long blade length increases cutting stroke efficiency and reach when working in mature tree canopies.

 R650 Gentle Curved Profile: Automatically feeds teeth into wood fibers on every pull stroke for maximum cutting speed with minimal exertion—especially above shoulder height.

 Aggressive Large Tooth Pitch: Coarse tooth configuration (7.5 teeth per 30mm) rapidly ejects wood chips for fast cuts through heavy greenwood.

 Non-Set Mirai-Me Technology: Mirror-ground teeth deliver smooth, clean cuts without tearing tree bark, promoting rapid wound healing.

 Full-Tang Elastomer Grip: Vulcanized rubber handle molded directly over the steel core provides exceptional vibration absorption and firm control.

 3D Roller Entry Sheath: Built-in rollers guide the blade smoothly without scabbard wear, complete with an anti-drop locking system and leg strap mounting slots.

 Impulse Hardened SK95 Steel: High-carbon Japanese tool steel guarantees superior edge hardness, toughness, and long service life.
