Fanno 15-Inch Curved Blade Hand Saw

The Fanno 15-inch curved blade hand saw is a pull-stroke pruning saw for climbers and ground workers who need clean cuts on limbs too big for loppers. The curve helps the teeth bite on overhead and awkward cuts.

Where a 15 inch curved saw shines

A 15-inch blade handles small to mid-size limbs in pruning cuts and deadwood work, and it is long enough to reach past a branch collar without crowding your hand. The curve pulls the teeth into the wood, which helps when you are cutting above your head or at an odd angle from the saddle.

Make a proper pruning cut just outside the branch collar, and undercut larger limbs to stop the bark from tearing.

Climbers often carry a curved saw on the saddle for fast limb removal and a smaller straight saw for detail cuts. A 15-inch blade sits in the middle, long enough for bigger cuts while still easy to handle on a lanyard. Keep your cuts controlled and clear of your rope and lanyard at all times.

Carry and care

Keep it in a scabbard on the saddle so the teeth are covered when not in use. Clean off sap after work, keep the blade dry, and replace the blade when it dulls rather than forcing it.

Keep a spare blade in the truck. On a big pruning job, switching to a sharp blade halfway through the day speeds up cutting and leaves cleaner wounds on the tree.
