Great all-round garden saw, with an ergonomic grip and tough scabbard.
More Information
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.
Tips
Always have a saw close to hand, so you’re not tempted to overdo it with the secateurs.

Saw Care
Japanese Pruning Saws are great. They cut on the pull stroke, not the push, which means the blade is under less pressure when cutting, and uses less energy, resulting in a far cleaner, faster cut. They whizz through green wood, but the blades are more fragile than traditional western saws and incorrect use can result in damage.
Use a smooth, gentle sawing action, doing the cutting on the pull, and gliding back on the push
Don’t let the weight of the branch pinch or catch the blade
Don’t twist the blade while sawing
Don’t use a small saw for a large job. Treat 1/3 of the length of the blade as the absolute maximum sensible cutting diameter
Don’t use a large saw for a small job. A 12" blade will happily cut a 1/2" branch, providing the branch is rigid - but most 1/2" branches move around a lot, and don’t allow for accurate sawing. Use Secateurs or Loppers instead
Don’t blame us if you snap the blade. Blades snap through misuse and poor handling, neither of which are covered under the warranty!
