The Felco 601 Pruning Saw is designed for gardeners and arborists seeking a reliable, portable, and ergonomic cutting tool. Its key benefit lies in its efficient pull-stroke cutting action with pulse-hardened teeth for quick, clean cuts. A potential caveat is its folding design, which may require slightly more care during storage to prevent accidental opening.

The Felco 601 features a 12cm (approximately 4.7 inches) solid chrome steel blade.
The saw has an integrated blade locking system that engages when the blade is fully opened, ensuring safety during use. A simple push or slide mechanism typically disengages it.
Yes, the ergonomic design and pull-stroke action are generally comfortable for both right and left-handed users.
Regular cleaning after use and periodic sharpening with a fine file or sharpening stone, following the angle of the teeth, will maintain its sharpness. Avoid letting sap build up.
When closed, the saw measures approximately 17cm (about 6.7 inches) in length, making it very portable.
The Felco 601 pruning saw weighs 170g (approximately 0.37 lbs).
The 12cm blade is best suited for branches up to a moderate thickness. For very thick branches, a larger saw or loppers might be more appropriate.
Ensure the blade and pivot area are clean and free of debris. Apply a small amount of lubricant to the pivot point and work the blade back and forth.
Check if the blade is sharp. If dull, sharpen the teeth following their original angle. Ensure you are using a firm pull stroke for optimal cutting.
Inspect the locking mechanism for any debris or damage. Ensure the blade is fully extended into the locked position. If the mechanism is damaged, professional servicing may be required.
The soft-touch handle is designed for grip. Ensure your hands are clean and dry. If the handle becomes excessively dirty, clean it with a damp cloth and mild soap, then dry thoroughly.
Setup: The Felco 601 is ready for use straight out of the box. No assembly is required. Ensure the blade is fully extended and locked before use.
Compatibility: This saw is designed for cutting wood and woody plant material. It is not intended for use on metal, plastic, or other hard materials.
