Product description
Japanese saws cut on the pull stroke, not the push, giving you more control. The blades are thinner, meaning you get a thinner kerf (the cut) with less effort. Can’t be bad. Bakuma’s Tristar is the ideal saw for garden pruning when a folding saw wouldn’t be big enough: pruning out individual trunks of hazel or sweet chestnut coppice, and general shrub pruning.
Best usage
Keep it close at hand for those awkward moments when secateurs won’t cut it, but a chainsaw’s too much.
To use it effectively (and yes, we do mean properly)
Stand close to the branch in a stable position. Apply firm, even pressure on the pull stroke – let the saw do the work – and avoid twisting or forcing the blade.
For cuts over an inch thick, make a shallow cut on the underside of the branch to stop the bark from tearing.
