Silky Saws

Why are Silky Saws so good?

Silky Saws are known for their quality and superior performance. Silky Saw blades are made of Authentic Premium Japanese Steel, cut by laser, and then impulse hardened. This creates a high-quality blade that lasts three times as long as a conventional blade. Silky products also feature high-quality handles that absorb vibrations and are easily gripped in rain or through gloves.

Can you sharpen a Silky saw?

Most Silky Saw blades are impulse hardened. While this process creates a very sharp blade that lasts 3 times as long as a conventional blade, it is also very hard to sharpen. When the time comes to sharpen the Silky Saw blade, many individuals opt to buy a replacement blade. We carry a large variety of Silky Saw replacement parts for cases like these. However, if the Silky Saw blade is not impulse-hardened, it can be sharpened easily using a Silky file.

Do Silky Saws cut both ways?

Silky Saws are pull saws which means they only cut when you pull the blade toward you. This technique is used by the Japanese because cutting when pulling the saw uses less energy, gives the user more control, and results in a straighter cut. Another advantage is that pull saws are made of thinner steel which allows for a cleaner cut.
