Fiskars Fixed Handle Pruning Saw

What size branches can this saw handle?
The 13" fixed blade is designed for small to medium branches — generally those that are too large for loppers or hand pruners.

For very large limbs (4"+ diameter), a bow saw or larger pruning saw may offer a more efficient option.

What does "impulse-hardened teeth" mean?
Impulse hardening is a heat treatment applied to the teeth only, making them significantly harder and more wear-resistant than the rest of the blade.

This keeps the cutting edges sharper for longer while the rest of the blade stays flexible — reducing the chance of snapping under stress.

Can I replace the blade on this saw?
This is a fixed-handle saw with a non-replaceable blade design. Because the teeth are impulse-hardened, the blade retains its edge through many seasons of typical pruning use.

How should I care for this pruning saw?
After each use, wipe the blade clean of sap and debris with a dry cloth. The non-stick coating helps prevent buildup, but a light oil or blade cleaner can be applied periodically to maintain the coating and prevent rust.

Store the saw in a dry location. When pruning diseased wood, wipe the blade down with a diluted bleach solution or isopropyl alcohol between cuts to avoid spreading disease between plants.
