Samurai Kanzawa Ichigeki Curved Pruning Saw 330mm — Ergo Pistol Grip, TRI CUT Blade (Orange)

The Samurai Kanzawa Ichigeki 330mm (C-330-LH) is a professional-grade curved pruning saw made in Japan that delivers fast, smooth cuts with a comfortable ergonomic pistol grip and a durable sheath for safe carry.

Built for arborists and serious gardeners, the Ichigeki long-handled pruning saw pairs a 13-inch TRI CUT TEETH Japanese blade with a robust curved profile to slice through limbs efficiently. Its set teeth and precision Japanese steel prioritize cutting durability and reduced binding, while the orange ergonomic rubber pistol grip helps balance control and comfort during extended use. A plastic scabbard with detachable belt clip and quick-release retention keeps the saw secure on the job or during transport.

How does the curved TRI CUT blade improve pruning performance?

The curved 330mm blade concentrates cutting force where the tooth meets the wood, making starts easier and long cross-cuts quicker. TRI CUT tooth geometry enhances chip clearance and reduces clogging, so each stroke remains effective. The blade’s set teeth deliver a reliable bite into green and dry wood without constant re-sharpening for typical arborist tasks.

• 13-inch (330mm) curved blade for efficient crosscuts
• TRI CUT tooth pattern for cleaner, faster cuts
• Set teeth for robust, long-lasting cutting edge
• Designed to reduce binding in thicker limbs

What makes the Ergo Grip handle better for extended work?

The pistol-style ergonomic handle is molded with a textured rubber surface to improve grip and reduce hand fatigue during repetitive sawing. Its balance point aligns with the blade to give more control and steadier strokes. This grip design helps maintain leverage and accuracy when pruning at odd angles or above shoulder height.

• Comfortable rubber over-mold for reduced slippage
• Pistol grip shape for natural wrist alignment
• Well-balanced between blade and handle for control
• Durable construction built for frequent professional use

Is the Ichigeki convenient and safe to carry on the job?

Yes — the saw comes with a molded plastic scabbard that protects the blade and prevents accidental contact when not in use. The detachable belt clip and easy-release retention let you secure the saw at your hip for quick access. The bright orange handle also improves visibility on a busy job site or in dense foliage.

• Plastic sheath protects blade and user between cuts
• Detachable belt clip for hands-free carry and quick access
• Secure easy-release mechanism for fast deployment
• High-visibility orange grip for safer handling on site
