Silky Gunfighter Replacement Blade (330 mm, Blade Only)

This Silky Gunfighter replacement blade is a 330 mm blade with taper-ground teeth, sold as the blade only. Swapping a dull or kinked blade into your existing handle and scabbard costs much less than a new saw and brings back Silky's fast, clean cut.

Why taper grinding matters

A taper-ground blade is thicker along the teeth and thinner along the back. That gives it clearance in the kerf, so it binds less in green wood and pulls through with less effort. Combined with Silky's pull-stroke teeth, it leaves a smooth cut, which is what you want on the limbs you are pruning back to a collar.

Silky teeth are hardened and not meant to be filed. When the blade is dull or bent, swap it. More blades are in our blades section.

Replacing just the blade also means you keep a handle you already know and a scabbard that is already set up on your saddle. Climbers who prune every day often keep a spare blade in the truck so a kinked blade does not end the day early.

Fitting and care

Confirm the blade is the Gunfighter 330 mm version before ordering, then fit it using Silky's instructions so the blade locks firmly in the handle with no wobble.

Wipe off sap and moisture after use, apply a light coat of oil, and keep the blade in its scabbard. Never twist or pry with the saw; that is how blades kink and snap. Keep your free hand clear of the cut line, especially when working from a saddle.
