FELCO 601 - Folding Pull-Stroke Pruning Saw (12 cm)

FELCO 601 Folding Pull-Stroke Pruning Saw (12 cm)

The FELCO 601 is a compact and highly versatile folding saw, perfect for those who need a precision cutting tool that fits easily into a pocket or holster. Featuring a 12 cm (4.7 inches) blade, it is the smaller sibling to the FELCO 600, offering even greater maneuverability in tight, crowded branch structures. The pull-stroke action design ensures maximum control and efficiency with minimal effort. Despite its small size, the FELCO 601 delivers a powerful and clean cut through branches up to 50mm, making it an indispensable tool for technical pruning, vineyard maintenance, or outdoor recreation.

Best For Professional viticulturists, arborists, and enthusiasts who require an ultra-portable, razor-sharp saw for precision work in confined spaces where a larger blade would be cumbersome.

Key Features

• Compact Precision: The shorter 12 cm blade is designed for high-accuracy cutting, allowing the user to navigate dense growth or reach deep into the canopy with ease.

• Pull-Stroke Efficiency: The blade is engineered to cut on the pull stroke, which prevents the steel from bending or buckling and creates a clean, smooth finish that aids plant recovery.

• Ultra-Hard Teeth: Features impulse-hardened teeth that undergo a specialized heat treatment to ensure they stay sharp significantly longer than standard saw blades.

• Rust Resistance: The blade is hard chrome-plated, providing a durable barrier against corrosion and reducing friction for smoother, faster sawing through green or dry wood.

• Safety-First Design: Includes a secure locking system that keeps the blade fixed in place during use and safely tucked away inside the ergonomic non-slip handle when folded.
