210 mm replacement saw blade with coarse teeth

This replacement blade is designed for cutting general timber, laminated wood, and live wood—including pruning fruit trees. Made from high-quality Japanese SK-5 steel, it combines hardness, strength, and durability.

Blade material: SK-5 / SK-85 steel

SK-5 is a high-quality Japanese carbon steel used in a wide range of cutting tools. After quenching and tempering, it achieves high hardness and wear resistance.

Edge Retention: A carbon content of nearly 1% ensures excellent retention of the sharp cutting edge.
Wear Resistance: The fine grain and carbon carbides ensure high wear resistance.
Durability: Steel offers a good balance between hardness and impact resistance.
Corrosion resistance: Offers decent protection against rust, but requires regular maintenance for long-term use.
Hardness: SK-5 can reach a hardness of 62–63 HRC, which makes sharpening it more labor-intensive compared to softer steels.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of wood is this replacement blade suitable for?

This blade is suitable for cutting solid wood and laminated wood, as well as for pruning live trees—such as fruit trees. The large teeth ensure fast and efficient cutting in a variety of conditions.

What is SK-5 steel, and why is it used for saws?

SK-5 is a high-quality Japanese carbon steel widely used for cutting tools. After quenching and tempering, it achieves high hardness and excellent wear resistance. Its carbon content of about 1% makes it very hard, with good cutting edge retention. It is used for razor blades, scalpels, saws, and many other tools.

What is the hardness of the blade on the HRC scale?

SK-5 steel can achieve a hardness of 62 to 63 HRC after heat treatment. This makes it very hard, which is an advantage for edge retention, but makes sharpening a little more labor-intensive compared to softer steels.

Does the blade require special care to prevent rust?

Yes. SK-5 steel offers decent, but not complete, corrosion resistance. To prevent rust, it is recommended to clean the blade regularly and apply a light coat of oil after use, especially when working outdoors or in damp conditions.

What are the dimensions and weight of the blade?

The blade is 210 mm long and 0.75 mm thick. Its overall dimensions are: 45 mm wide, 265 mm high, and 3 mm thick. It weighs 45 grams, making it lightweight and easy to use.

Where was the blade manufactured?

The blade is made in Japan—a country with a long tradition of manufacturing high-quality cutting tools. Japanese SK-5 steel is a proven choice for professional and hobbyist tools around the world.

Can the blade be sharpened after it becomes worn?

Theoretically, yes, but due to the high hardness of SK-5 steel (62–63 HRC), sharpening is more labor-intensive and requires the right tools. In cases of severe wear, it is more practical and economical to install a new replacement blade than to sharpen the old one.
