KH Security Folding Japanese Hand Saw – 210 mm – SK5 Steel

The KH Security folding hand saw is a high-quality tool that combines the refined Japanese sawing tradition with German reliability. This 210 mm pull saw has been specifically designed for users who need an extremely sharp yet compact sawing solution. Thanks to the use of specialized SK5 steel and an ergonomic wooden handle, this saw delivers superior performance for both fine woodworking and intensive outdoor tasks.

The construction of this hand saw is designed for maximum cutting efficiency and durability:

- Saw blade: Made from SK5 carbon steel. This steel is known for its extreme hardness and excellent edge retention. The blade has a thickness of 0.9 mm, ensuring a very thin and precise cut.
- Toothing: Features double-edged teeth with a pitch of 7 TPI (teeth per inch). This configuration is optimized for both cross-cutting (across the grain) and rip-cutting (with the grain).
- Surface treatment: The blade features a hard chrome-plated finish. This provides an effective barrier against corrosion and significantly reduces friction, preventing the saw from jamming in fresh wood.
- Handle: Crafted from classic beech wood. This natural material not only adds aesthetic value but also absorbs vibrations and provides a comfortable, non-slip grip.

This model stands out for its balance between portability and cutting power:

- Japanese Pull Technique: Unlike Western saws, this model uses a pulling motion to cut. This prevents the thin blade from bending or snapping and provides unparalleled control over the cut.
- Foldable Design: With a total length of 45 cm when unfolded, the saw offers a full working range, while its folded size (approximately 24.5 cm) makes it easy to transport in a toolbox or backpack.
- Secure Locking Mechanism: The mechanism ensures the blade remains firmly in place during use, which is crucial for user safety and the precision of the work.
- Lightweight Construction: With a total weight of just 150 grams, the saw is a minimal burden for professionals and campers who weigh every gram of weight.

For optimal service life of your KH Security hand saw, we recommend the following:

- Sawing technique: Apply force only during the pulling motion. The saw does the work; excessive pressure during the pushing motion is unnecessary and can strain the teeth.
- Cleaning: After use, remove resin and wood debris from the blade. A clean saw cuts more efficiently and prevents unnecessary wear on the chrome-plated coating.
- Corrosion prevention: Although the blade is chrome-plated, the carbon steel at the cutting edges is susceptible to oxidation. After use, rub the blade with a drop of light machine oil or camellia oil.
- Storage: Always fold the saw completely when not in use to protect the sharp teeth and the user.

The KH Security folding hand saw is a technically sound tool for the professional who demands precision in a portable format. The combination of SK5 carbon steel and beechwood ergonomics makes this a superior alternative to standard pruning saws. The objective assessment is that, thanks to its Japanese pull geometry and durable chrome-plated finish, this saw is an indispensable tool for both refined carpentry and challenging outdoor applications.
