Tenju Raku-no-ko 170 Folding Pruning Saw No.1307 [Total Length & Blade: 375mm (Folded: 210mm) / 170mm / 0.6mm Ultra-Thin Blade / Japanese High-Carbon Tool Steel / Medium-Fine Tooth Geometry / Ergonomic Elastomer Grip]

Description

Manufactured by Tenju Blade Co., Ltd. in Yamagata Prefecture, Japan, the Raku-no-ko 170 (No.1307) is a compact, ultra-lightweight folding pruning saw highly favored by professional orchardists, arborists, and gardeners. Engineered for effortless cutting performance, it excels in garden tree maintenance, fruit tree pruning, and precision landscape trimming.

The hallmark of Tenju saw design is its 0.6mm Ultra-Thin Blade Profile, crafted from premium Japanese High-Carbon Tool Steel. This exceptionally thin plate drastically minimizes friction resistance within wood fibers, allowing the saw to bite smoothly and slice effortless through limbs on every pull stroke. Paired with a Medium-Fine Tooth Geometry, the Raku-no-ko 170 provides smooth blade entry without jumping or catching, preventing bark tearing at the end of every cut. The resulting cut surface is mirror-smooth, preventing water accumulation and protecting living timber against disease and infection. Folds neatly down to 210mm to fit safely in work pockets or gear holsters, while the non-slip Elastomer Grip ensures comfortable, fatigue-free control.

(Compatible replacement blade No.1308 sold separately).
