Samurai folding curved hand saw 240mm (9½") — lockable compact design with ergonomic rubber grip

The Samurai KISI FC-240-LH is a precision-engineered 240mm (9½") folding curved hand saw from Japan, designed for comfortable, efficient cutting above shoulder height and safe storage when folded.

Built for gardeners, arborists and trade professionals, this folding curved-blade saw pairs a taper-ground Japanese blade with an ergonomically profiled handle. The FC-240-LH blends portability with cutting performance: the blade locks into an extended position for secure use and nests inside the handle for protection and compact transport. Rubber cushioning, an anti-slip notch, and a handle curvature designed from human-engineering principles reduce effort and improve control when pruning or trimming branches.

How does the curved blade improve cutting over straight saws?

The curve concentrates cutting force on the teeth that contact wood first, delivering faster, cleaner cuts—especially when working above shoulder level or on raised limbs. The curvature keeps the blade engaged in the cut and helps maintain a consistent kerf without requiring extra downward pressure.

• 240mm (9½") curved blade optimised for overhead work
• Taper-ground profile for reduced binding and smoother strokes
• 4mm tooth pitch for balanced speed and tooth durability

What ergonomic features reduce user fatigue?

The computer-designed folding handle follows human-engineering principles to position the wrist and forearm for more efficient cutting. A rubber-cushioned grip reduces slip and softens impact, while the handle's shape lessens the force needed to drive each stroke.

• Ergonomic handle curvature reduces muscle strain
• Rubber cushion grip prevents slipping and improves comfort
• Notched handle end prevents accidental dropping during loose holds

Is the saw safe and convenient to carry and store?

Yes—the blade folds securely into the handle to protect the teeth and prevent accidental cuts while transporting or storing the tool. The notched grip also helps keep the saw from slipping out of a partially closed hand when handling, and the compact folded size fits tool belts and backpacks.

• Folding mechanism houses blade inside handle for safe storage
• Notch at handle end provides accidental-drop protection
• Compact when folded for easy transport and toolbox storage

What cutting tasks is the FC-240-LH best suited for?

This model excels at pruning, light limb removal, and trimming where reach and maneuverability matter most. The blade length and tooth pitch strike a balance between fast cutting and clean finishes on greenwood and small-diameter dry branches.

• Ideal for pruning shrubs, small trees and higher branches
• Effective on both greenwood and dry wood up to moderate diameters
• Portable option for gardeners, landscapers and arborists

Who is this for: The Samurai KISI FC-240-LH is made for anyone who needs a reliable, portable saw for routine pruning and occasional heavier cutting above shoulder height—home gardeners, professional landscapers, arborists and outdoor enthusiasts who value Japanese blade quality, ergonomic design and safe folding convenience.
