Perusing the garden tools section for a tool that I own and so could write about I came across a Silverline SW21 525 mm Pruning Saw . Now I suppose technically I do not own this but it belongs to the Butterfly conservation work party that I belong to . We store this in our garage for winter work parties clearing shrub on nature reserves.
I have used this saw several times clearing encroaching shrub.

This saw has an orange coated heavy gauge, oval steel frame this tapers to a point. The 525mm saw blade attaches to this. There is a quick release tension lever for this blade, this is attached to the flat handle part of the oval frame. The orange frame of ours has got scratched with use and has a little rust
The blade is a Swedish steel blade with many hard point teeth. This blade gives a fair cut through branches and small tree trunks. I have used it at home for sawing through small planks of wood too.
This saw is quite easy to hold and use. The tapered point end does mean it gets between branches easily giving better access to the part you want to saw.

This saw is a fair quality saw, I have used better and worse saws. As with all saws it’s the blade that really counts don’t let it rust and blunt. Ideally clean between each use. Attaching a new blade is relatively simple with the release lever.

A new blade for this saw is available at places like B&Q, and our local shop that sells garden and home tools and hardware, blades are available from several stores on line including http://www.transtools.co.uk/store/prod_2391/garden-tools/bowsaws-and-blades/silverline-pruning-saw-blade-525mm.html.
A new blade will cost from 50p to about a pound.

This saw is quite a good price it costs £3,55 http://www.powertools2u.co.uk most other on line stores sell it for under a fiver.
Would I recommend ? Yes I think I would.

The one thing I leave for my husband to do in the garden is the pruning. He tends to like to use electric things.
