Pruning saw FELCO 611 straight chrome blade 330 mm

The pruning saw straight blade model cuts branches up to 100 mm in diameter with a pull-stroke action. The 330 mm blade is made from stainless steel with chrome plating and hardened teeth. Tooth density is 7 teeth per inch, arranged in alternating left-right orientation on both cutting edges. The handle is molded from two-component ABS plastic with a textured, non-slip surface. Total tool length is 500 mm.

The included rigid plastic sheath features two rollers at the opening to guide the blade safely during insertion. Two ventilation holes on the sheath body allow visibility of the blade tip. A belt loop and thigh strap with quick-release buckle enable secure carry during climbing or movement through dense vegetation. The blade attaches to the handle with two screws for straightforward replacement.

Pruning saw straight blade construction and materials

Blade design and tooth geometry

The straight blade measures 330 mm in active cutting length. Chrome plating over stainless steel reduces friction and resists corrosion. Hardened teeth maintain sharpness through extended use. The 7 TPI configuration balances cutting speed with smooth finish. Alternating tooth set clears sawdust efficiently on the pull stroke.

• Blade length: 330 mm
• Material: stainless steel with chrome plating
• Tooth density: 7 teeth per inch
• Tooth pattern: alternating left-right set
• Cutting action: pull stroke
• Maximum branch diameter: 100 mm

The blade geometry suits both green wood and seasoned timber. The straight profile maintains alignment in deep cuts. Chrome plating extends service life in humid environments and reduces binding in resinous species.

Handle ergonomics and attachment

The handle is injection-molded from two-component ABS plastic. The textured surface provides grip in wet or gloved conditions. The curved pommel prevents hand slippage during the pull stroke. Ambidextrous design accommodates left- and right-handed operators without adjustment. Two through-bolts secure the blade tang to the handle body.

• Handle material: two-component ABS plastic
• Surface finish: textured non-slip
• Orientation: ambidextrous
• Blade attachment: two-screw tang mount
• Overall length: 500 mm
• Weight: 370 g

The handle shape distributes force evenly across the palm. The pommel curve locks the hand position during repetitive cutting. Screw-mount blade attachment simplifies field replacement without specialized tools.

Protective sheath and carry system

Sheath construction and features

The rigid plastic sheath encloses the full blade length. Two internal rollers at the mouth guide the blade during sheathing and prevent edge contact with the sheath walls. Two ventilation holes on the body allow visual confirmation of full insertion. A belt loop on the back accepts belts up to 50 mm wide.

• Sheath material: rigid plastic
• Internal rollers: two at mouth
• Ventilation holes: two on body
• Belt loop width: up to 50 mm
• Thigh strap: included with quick-release buckle

The roller system protects both blade edge and sheath interior. Ventilation holes prevent moisture accumulation. The belt loop and thigh strap combination secures the saw during climbing or movement through brush.

Common applications

This pruning saw suits orchard maintenance, vineyard management, and landscape pruning tasks. The 100 mm cutting capacity handles most fruit tree branches and ornamental shrubs. Arborists use it for limb removal during crown thinning. Forestry workers apply it to trail clearing and undergrowth management. The pull-stroke action and straight blade work efficiently in confined spaces between branches. The protective sheath and carry system support mobile work in orchards and woodlots.
