Silky Forester

The Silky Forester 273-30 Pole Saw is a professional-grade telescopic pruning saw designed for arborists, landscapers, and serious garden users who need reliable cutting performance at height. Combining lightweight construction with impressive reach, it offers a practical solution for pruning without the need for ladders.

Professional reach and control

The Forester 273-30 features a two-section telescopic aluminium pole with an oval profile, providing both strength and precise handling. It extends from approximately 1.7 m to 3.0 m, allowing users to safely prune branches from the ground while maintaining excellent control.

Its compact collapsed size also makes it easy to transport and store, a key advantage for professionals working across multiple sites.

High-performance Silky blade

Equipped with a 380 mm curved blade, this saw delivers fast, clean cuts through both green and dry wood. The blade features 7.5 teeth per 30 mm, striking a balance between aggressive cutting and smooth finish.

Silky’s advanced manufacturing process, including impulse hardening, ensures long-lasting sharpness and durability, although the blade is designed to be replaced rather than sharpened.

Lightweight yet durable design

Weighing around 1.7–1.8 kg, the Forester is light enough for extended use while remaining strong and stable during cutting.

The pole incorporates a dual locking system, combining spring-loaded buttons with friction clamps. This ensures secure extension and minimises flex when cutting at full reach.
