💡 Tip: For more precise cuts in living tissue, keep a slight angle to the trunk and let the teeth work on the pull stroke.
🔒 Does it lock when folded?
Yes; it has a locking mechanism in the open/closed position for safe use and carrying.
📐 Why a straight rather than curved blade?
A straight blade provides better control and precision for close or detailed cuts, with particularly clean results.
