Silky Pole Saw Forester 4500-7.5
Model: KSI027345
The Silky Forester has all characteristics of a professional pole saw, and is still lightweight and compact. With the thin blade you can easily maneuver, even at greater heights and in densely grown spaces. Sawing itself is easy, quick and safe. No goofing around on a ladder, but firmly with both feet on the ground.
The strong blade is mounted on the pole by two bolts. There is no wiggle room in the blade, which gives you a great feeling with the sawing job at hand, always leading to the same reliable result. As the aluminum pole is oval-shaped, you have a very precise control over the direction of the blade. Moreover, this shape gives more strength and rigidity over the full length of the pole saw, and reduces bending to a minimum.

With a retracted pole length of just 2200 mm, the Forester saw can easily be stowed and taken along. The sickle at the end of the blade helps you to keep the blade in the sawing cut. You can also use the upper sickle to cut little twigs off the trunk or to pull little (dead) branches from the tree.
The two locking mechanisms (pushbuttons and levers) together create the safest and most stable locking of the preferred pole length. The lowest pole part is covered with rubber for a comfortable and safe grip. The bumper at the bottom protects the pole from bumps or thrusts. The red design makes the Silky Forester highly visible.
Always think of your own safety: make sure you stand at a safe distance from falling branches and wear a safety helmet and eye protection.

- The blade must be kept clean to maintain its efficiency. Resin dissolves in olive oil, which is an effective and environmental friendly way to maintain the blade with. When not using the saw, make sure it is fully dry before retracting the poles. Slide the cover over the blade and store the pole saw at a dry place. Do not forget to frequently check whether the screws on the blade are still properly tightened.

Straight or curved blade
The straight blade gives a very clean saw cut with more precision and is better for bushcraft (building shelters, traps, tools etc.). The curved blade saws faster and with more aggression, especially while working above shoulder height and below the knees, so it's better for tree climbers and arborists.
Silky technology
The technology behind the Silky has gathered almost 100 years of experience in the production of handsaws, always with the greatest devotion and according to the latest techniques. The saw blades of Silky saws are made from high-grade SK-4 carbon steel and cut out by laser. The blades are of unparalleled quality: they are very hard and longwearing, but remain flexible at the same time thanks to the metal’s soft core.
Chrome plated blade
The chrome plating on the saw blade makes the surface of the blade extremely hard and longwearing, while reducing frictions and increasing the lifetime of the blade. Furthermore, the chrome plating protects the blade from rusting and resin. Before applying the chrome plating, Silky polishes the blade as smooth as silk. This makes that the blade encounters even less resistance in the wood while sawing.
GOM rubber grip
The GOM rubber handle absorbs sawing vibrations and offers a superior grip, even in wet conditions or while wearing gloves. Moreover, this handle always feels comfortably warm, even in extremely cold temperatures.
Mirai-Me – Silky’s patented teeth
The razor sharp teeth are grinded in the blade with precision, each with 4 cutting edges and an extremely smooth surface as a result. For an optimal discharge of saw dust, one of every so many teeth (depending on the saw model) has been ground to the outside. This unmatched patented Mirai-Me technology makes it possible to use the saw for three types of sawing: crosscutting (perpendicular to the grain), rip-cutting (parallel to the direction of the grain) and diagonally. During pruning activities the smooth saw cut will allow the tree wound to be overgrown easily. Within carpentry, the smooth saw cut gives a fine finish, so that sanding is hardly necessary.
Non-set teeth
The teeth are grinded in the blade with precision, each with 4 cutting surfaces. The teeth are “non-set” (in compare to a classic Western saw), so that the cutting surface cuts straight into the wood, and destroys about 50% less wood cells in the process. The blades are grinded biconcave: the bottom part of the blade (at the teeth) is thickest, the top part slightly thinner and the blade is thinnest in the middle. This design has several advantages:
- Less power needed to saw: saw extremely fast
- Discharges saw dust effortlessly: no getting stuck in the wood
- Very clean saw cut: without breaking or tearing of the wood, it hardly splinters and creates a very fine, smooth saw cut.
Electro-impulse hardening
The tips of the teeth are heated up to a very high temperature for a split second. As only the tip (or in other words the cutting part) of the tooth is heated, the rest of the tooth keeps its cutting quality but also its flexibility. Induction hardened teeth have a lifespan of three times that of non-treated teeth.
