Silky saws are made in Japan by UM:KOGYO INC; a company which has specialised in the manufacture of saws since 1919. Unique technology and design has resulted in an extensive range of saws with superb cutting ability. Silky saws cut as you pull the blade towards you. They do not cut on the forward or push stroke. Cutting on the pull stroke requires less energy and gives you more control over the action of the saw.

The information below provides the key to understanding the applications of the saws.

	Conical Setting Free Blades are made from SK-4 high carbon steel and taper ground i.e. thicker at the tooth edge, thinner at the back of the blade. This taper reduces resistance giving smoother , easier, faster cutting performance.	Rubber Handle Almost all SILKY saws have rubber compound elastomer handles. The rubber is either inserted or vulcanised to ABS plastic or steel. Rubber handles are comfortable to hold, reduce vibration and offer superior grip when hands are wet, cold and when wearing gloves.

	Hard Chrome Plating Hard chrome plating produces an exceedingly hard, durable surface. The blades are resistant to rust and the effects of tree resin. They are finely or mirror polished and wipe clean easily.	Sharpenable Because impulse-hardening is not treated, the blade marked with this symbol can be sharpened with a file.

	Four Rows of Teeth 4-RETSUME literally means four rows of teeth. SILKY 4-RETSUME saws have teeth set in a way that there appears to be 4 rows of teeth. Saws marked with the 4-RETSUME symbol are rough cutting hand saws for heavier tasks. They cut on the PULL STROKE for faster, more efficient cutting and excellent free flowing discharge of chips. SILKY 4-RETSUME saws can rip-cut, cross-cut and slant-cut.	Smooth Cutting MIRAI-ME means teeth of the future. SILKY taper saw marked with MIRAI-ME symbol have precision ground, razor sharp teeth with 4 cutting angles along the length of the blade. This gives faster, more efficient cutting and excellent free flowing discharge of chips. They leave an especially smooth surface after cutting and are ideal for pruning, greatly reducing risk of infection. SILKY MIRA-ME saws can rip-cut, cross-cut and slant-cut. They cut on the PULL STROKE for faster, more efficient cutting.
	Impulse Hardening Teeth of blades are heated and hardened by a special high frequency heating technique, while unheated remainder of the blade still retains its normal flexibility, yet stay sharp about three times longer than non-hardened teeth.
