I can only find replacement blades but if anyone has a whole one they'd part with, I'm looking =)

300mm is best saw eva.. IMHO.

I'm worried it'll still be longer than I want . Been rocking a tsurugi 375 curve for the last few yrs and it's finally gone dull and I'm ready for something much shorter

Also I suppose if anyone has the current pattern handle and the 240mm sheath I'd buy them

Have you used a Tsurugi?

I like that better than a Gomtaro... personal preference.

If just pruning I’d recommend the smaller tooth one vs prosentai. I’ve got both the 300 with the fine at the tip, and shorties with the finer teeth ($30 each a couple yrs ago during black friday). The 300 feels a bit short for most removals but long for ornamentals and fruit trees. The 240 pruning ones are lovely, and I have a Samurai 8” fine tooth too. Straight blade is dope for hinges but I’ve gone back to curved for removals for less wear on the shoulder.

A prosenti is a special gomtaro. Fine teeth at the end. It is so versatile.

I know...I had one. Still liked the medium tooth straight blade Tsurugi better. Sold two-tooth-size saw to a helper who went off on his own as he liked it better that I.

We all have our favs indeed. Was not a fan of either straight or curved Tsurugi. Handles were nice though.

Yeah I really like my 375 curve w/ large teeth but I'm trying to get my saddle configuration dialed exactly right and I think a shorter, straight blade saw is the ticket and I want to try the combination teeth.

My friend has a tsurugi 300 straight and I like it but I'd like something just a touch shorter. Also I'd kinda like a scabbard that doesn't clink quite so much

The clinking scabbard rattling in the back of the truck is a recurring annoyance for sure!

I’m using both of those.
I love my 400mm Tsurugi straight blade, large tooth, and got some spare large and medium tooth blades. It’s a workhorse and is always on my saddle.


My Gomtaro used to have a 300mm large tooth blade and was my daily climbing handsaw. Lovely saw, stayed sharp for a very long time. After it got dull, I got the Tsurugi for daily work and the Gomtaro got a 300mm fine tooth blade, for ornamentals or whatever I might want a cleaner cut on. So rather than a prosenti, I can just use a 300mm fine tooth saw or a 400mm medium or large tooth.

Y'all are gonna make me buy two saws at this rate

Sorry, not what I intended. I only did the fine tooth on the Gomtaro because I already had the saw handle, and scabbard.

I use a silky super accel folding saw 240 as the always on my saddle saw. No scabbard.

Samurai makes one with medium and fine tooth also. I got a Samurai Ichiban I think it’s called, it’s nice. Impulse hardened Japanese steel like Silky blades, but it isn’t full tang.

I have a gomboy 240 that I used for a while, but I wasn't vibeing with having to fold and unfold it constantly. I did really like the 240mm length tho.

I thought a lot of Silky saws used the same handle bolt pattern. As you can find the replacement blade are there other handles you can use?

It looks like a zubat handle, idk if they're compatible, but if I have to source a new handle and scabbard it works out to be about the same as buying a complete 240

Yes, the Gomtaro and Zubat have the same handle and bolt pattern. I used to have a Zubat pole saw, I switched the blades for a short while.
