Pruning saw with hook 32 cm on handle John Gardener SK5 blade

Hand pruning saw by John Gardener equipped with a 32 cm SK5 blade and a hooked tip, designed for efficient cutting of branches during garden maintenance and tree pruning. The saw includes a mounting that allows attachment to a handle or extension pole, enabling work at height without the need for ladders. The hooked tip stabilizes the saw on the branch to reduce slipping and improve cutting control.

Advantages

The SK5 high-carbon steel blade delivers durable sharpness and straightforward re-sharpening when needed. A 32 cm cutting edge balances reach and maneuverability for medium to large branches. The hook at the tip secures the saw on rounded branches, helping to maintain a steady cut. The attachment for a handle or pole provides compatibility with standard extension shafts to increase working reach and safety when pruning tall trees.

Suitable for

• Pruning fruit trees and ornamental trees in gardens and orchards
• Cutting medium to large deadwood and overgrown branches
• Roofline and hedge maintenance when used with an extension pole
• Landscaping and professional tree care tasks requiring reach and control

Key specifications

• Blade material: SK5 high-carbon steel
• Blade length: 32 cm cutting edge
• Tip style: hooked tip for branch stabilization
• Mounting: compatible with handle or extension pole attachment
• Intended use: manual pruning and branch cutting

How to use

Securely fasten the saw to a suitable handle or pole if working at height, following the mounting instructions of the chosen shaft. Position the hooked tip over the branch to stabilize the cut, and apply steady, even strokes with the blade angled to engage the teeth fully. For thicker branches, start with shallow cuts and progress to deeper strokes to avoid binding. Keep a firm two-handed grip when using the saw by hand and ensure stable footing when working on the ground.

Usage recommendations

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves and eye protection. Keep the SK5 blade clean and dry after use to reduce corrosion; periodically inspect and sharpen the teeth for consistent cutting performance. Use compatible extension poles rated for pruning saw attachments and follow the pole manufacturer’s safety guidance when working at height.
