Silky saw

[agg221]

I use a 300mm Gomtaro and will soon need to replace the blade.

I did have a Hayauchi pole saw but it was stolen. Very annoying as it was the full 7m one and I need it at full length so am keeping an eye out for a replacement.

Zubat 390 from honey brothers for me. Although I was contemplating the "sword-like" handle one ( sugowaza I think) to prevent any forward hand slips when wet, as the boys say, nasty piece of kit when it wants to be. ( and before all the super hero's jump on the "you're an idiot if you cut yourself with a silky" band wagon, I'm sure most people know of someone that has, as accidents do happen

I have a 300mm Gomtaro and have just bought another one. Just because I can rather than I need to.

If you buy a Silverline diamond feather file you can easily sharpen the Gomtaro blade in 10 minutes or so. The file costs a fiver or so from Amazon/eBay and the like. For that money it is worth a go.

With no great skill and just a little care the re sharpened blade is just as good as new and lasts very nearly as long as a new bought one before needing sharpening. That £5 file will save you well over £100

Could you link to the correct file please.

File available from £3.55 with free delivery ATM.

Thanks, Couldyajust.

Is this the one you mean, Peasgood?

[Peasgood]

yes mate.

Just carefully touch up the teeth by re filing the very top, very small flat on the tips. File towards the point.

If you balls it up you've lost nowt.
