Built with a sturdy, yet lightweight aluminium chassis. The Ultra Accel TAIKO, with 24cm curved blade, is an ideal CONVEX blade for woodworking.
The slightly curved handle and the convex blade allow the user’s knuckles to clear the workbench while cutting on flat surfaces. Its ideal curved blade allows for comfortable cuts on flat surfaces such as a workbench.
This saw is designed for general carpentry. It is very unique as it has a convex blade for maximum clearance whilst cutting.
It has a tooth style for cutting hard timbers with ease. The blade is taper-ground that to reduce friction when cutting. This allows the cutting stroke to feel very easy and fast.
The teeth are non-set and are what Silky calls a “Mirai-Me” tooth style. The tooth shape creates a very smooth cut in a cross, slant, and rip cut.
There are 10 teeth per 30mm. The tips of the teeth are impulse-hardened, leaving the blade flexible but the teeth very sharp and long-lasting. The blades are laser cut from a high-carbon steel which is a very strong steel and quite flexible. This is very important in a handsaw. The blades also have a special coating to give them some protection.
The Ultra Accel-Taiko blade has two settings. The first is a standard saw-blade angle and the second has the blade pointing into the air. This angle allows you to cut on a flat surface very easily.
The handle has a rubber jacket which is made out of a special rubber designed by Silky Japan. It is called GOM and it is extremely comfortable to hold. It absorbs a lot of the vibrations you get when cutting and it allows you to have a very good grip, even when your hands are damp. All parts are replaceable, so if you lose anything you can order replacement parts, i.e. screws, blades, handles.
