The Silky Gomtaro features a hollow ground blade, friction is significantly reduced and cutting is simply a breeze. Silky’s signature Mirai-Me tooth profile leaves an extremely smooth finish on the cut, preventing bacteria sitting on the grooves of a cut and causing infection of the wood. The Gomtaro blade is impulse hardened – it cannot be sharpened by hand, and rather holds its edge for a longer period of time. Replacement blades are available to give your Gomtaro a new lease on life. The rubber handle absorbs vibrations and provides a secure, reliable grip. Includes saw scabbard with entry rollers.
