The Silky F180 mm Folding Saw is a dependable, all-purpose pruning saw trusted by both gardeners and arborists. Compact, lightweight, and sharp, it handles branches and green wood with ease thanks to its Japanese chrome-plated blade and large tooth profile.
At Suffolk Mowers, we recommend the Silky F180 as a reliable choice for anyone who values a smooth, effortless cut without carrying bulky equipment. It folds neatly for storage, locks securely in two positions, and comes backed by a lifetime warranty for long-term peace of mind.
Why Choose the Silky F180 mm Folding Saw?
The Silky F180 stands out as one of the most trusted folding saws for pruning and light tree work. Its 180 mm blade makes it an excellent balance between reach and control, giving smooth, effortless cuts without tearing the bark. Whether trimming fruit trees, tidying shrubs, or cutting back garden growth, this compact tool delivers consistent results with very little effort.
Built for Gardeners and Arborists Alike
While the F180 is often used by home gardeners, many professionals also carry it as a lightweight secondary saw. The hard-chromed blade resists rust and sap, while the non-set, triple-edge teeth slice cleanly through green and seasoned wood alike. The two-position locking system allows straight or flush cuts, making it suitable for tight areas or precision pruning work.
Comfort and Control
Silky’s rubber-insert, fibreglass-reinforced handle provides excellent grip even in wet conditions. The saw’s balance and weight (around 220 g) help reduce strain during long pruning sessions. When folded, the blade is safely enclosed within the handle—easy to slip into a pocket or tool belt without risk of damage.
Maintenance and Support
Like all Silky saws, the F180 can be maintained easily with a soft brush and light oil. Replacement blades are available, and with proper care the original blade will retain its edge for years thanks to impulse-hardened teeth. Suffolk Mowers supplies genuine Silky parts, blades, and accessories to keep your saw performing at its best.
