Overview
Model 340-17 is Silky's General, a hand saw with a hard chrome plated steel blade and a rubber handle, measuring 14.7 inches long and weighing 0.65 pounds.
Listed under Tools with the category label Generals, this is a Silky branded saw rather than a general purpose miscellaneous tool, the category text describing the product line name rather than a catch-all group. Chrome plating on the blade points toward rust resistance, and the rubber handle is a common choice for a secure, comfortable grip during cutting.
- Hard chrome plated steel blade
- Rubber handle
- 14.7 inch length, 0.65 lb weight
- Dimensions 14.7 x 2.6 x 1 inches
Who it's for
Suits anyone who needs a Silky hand saw for pruning, trimming or general cutting tasks and wants a rust resistant blade. Less useful for someone needing a powered saw or a blade length beyond the 14.7 inches listed.
Pros and cons
- Chrome plated steel blade resists rust
- Rubber handle for grip
- Lightweight at 0.65 pounds
- Blade length capped at 14.7 inches
Performance notes
The hard chrome plating on the blade resists corrosion better than an untreated steel blade would, which matters for a hand tool that spends time outdoors or in damp storage. The rubber handle adds grip without the added weight of the metal blade itself, keeping total weight to 0.65 pounds.
