Folding Pruning Saw – Compact Garden Saw for Woody Branches | RHS Approved | Burgon & Ball

For gardeners who demand performance without bulk, the Burgon & Ball RHS Folding Pruning Saw is the perfect tool for clean, powerful cuts wherever you need them. Whether you're pruning branches, tidying shrubs, or heading out to the allotment, this folding saw offers the strength of a bow saw with the convenience of a tool that fits in your pocket.

Part of Burgon & Ball’s prestigious RHS-endorsed collection, this folding saw is engineered for both efficiency and portability. The 15cm blade is made from fully hardened and tempered high-carbon steel, ensuring exceptional sharpness and durability even with regular use. What sets it apart is the patented tooth design, with three cutting faces per tooth – dramatically increasing cutting efficiency and providing a cleaner, faster cut.

Designed to work primarily on the pull stroke, this saw is especially well-suited for overhead cuts, where control and safety are essential. It glides through branches up to 10–12cm with minimal effort, making it ideal for everything from fruit trees to shrubs and climbers.

The secure blade-locking mechanism ensures that the saw stays safely locked in position – both open and closed – providing confidence during use and peace of mind during storage. When folded, it slips easily into your tool belt, pocket, or gardening bag without taking up unnecessary space.

Backed by over 290 years of British toolmaking heritage and endorsed by the Royal Horticultural Society, this folding pruning saw blends performance with premium design. It’s the go-to tool when you need compact power in the garden, and a must-have for gardeners of all levels.

Why We Love It at Allotmate Essentials

This little saw punches way above its weight! We love the powerful triple-cut blade that sails through thicker stems and limbs with ease. The folding design makes it a dream for storage – no clunky bow saw needed. It’s especially handy for pruning on the go or when space is tight in your kit. The pull-stroke cutting makes overhead work safer and easier, and the blade lock means you’re never fumbling with loose parts. If you want a lightweight, reliable tool that works as hard as you do, this one’s a winner.
