This saw is designed for the pruning of small to medium branches. It has a very narrow blade allowing easy access into small spots, such as the fork of a tree or between palm branches. It has a tooth style to cut dense and sappy timbers with ease. It has a hollow-ground blade, which reduces friction whilst cutting. This allows the cutting stroke to feel very easy and fast.

The teeth are not set. They are what Silky call a Mirai-Me tooth style. This style of tooth creates a very smooth cut which leaves the branch so smooth that it will appear as though it has been given a light sand. This benefits the tree by reducing the chance of water and bacteria sitting in grooves in the timber encouraging infection into the wound. This style of tooth also makes a wider cut in the timber than the width of the blade, therefore reducing the chance of the blade jamming
