Folding Saw WOODBOY 240 Fine Teeth - KATABA

Woodboy folding joinery saw series. The ultimate quality coupled with terrific features. Taper-ground chrome-plated reinforced blades allow a fluid, straight cut as teeth are actually wider than mirror polished blade. Woodboy comes in two types - Dozuki and Kataba. Woodboy Dozuki-type joinery saw is simply fantastic! It features a no-set Japanese tooth pattern at 27 tpi with elegantly tapered ground blades - once the height of the saw maker's art. This means you get an amazingly thin kerf (0.025") with little, if any, binding or wandering off the layout line. It's perfect for intricate joinery. The Woodboy has two thumb release open positions; one for standard work, the other for tight spots or for kerfing dados. The blade folds into a sure-grip rubberized handle, making it easily portable while protecting the teeth. Silky designed this saw for interior carpenters and other woodworkers needing a high quality tool for the job site. The unfolded length is 22". Blade length is 9-1/2". The maximum depth of cut is 1-3/4". The Woodboy folding Kataba-style saw has the same excellent blade construction and performance as the Dozuky-type but with 19 tpi and no back.

Product Technology
	Non-set Teeth - 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.
	Mirai-Me Smooth Cutting - The teeth of the future! Blades have precision ground, razor sharp teeth with 4 cutting angles along their length. They leave an especially smooth surface after cutting and are ideal for pruning, greatly reducing the risk of infection. They can rip-cut, cross-cut and slant-cut.
	Impulse Hardening - Using a special high frequency heating technique, teeth are heated instantly and hardened. Because of this localized heating process only the teeth of the blade are heated and hardened. The remainder of the blade is unchanged and still retains its normal flexibility. The hardened teeth are harder than an ordinary file and stay sharp about three times longer than non-hardened teeth.
	Hard Chrome Plating - Hard chrome plating produces an exceedingly hard, durable surface. The blades are resistant to rust and the effects of resin. They are finely or mirror polished and wipe clean easily.
	Rubber Handle - Almost all Silky saws have rubber compound elastomer handles either inserted or vulcanized to ABS plastic or steel are comfortable to hold, reduce vibration and offer superior grip when hands are wet or cold and when wearing gloves.
