An American pruning pole saw head comprising a curved steel blade and a cast metal socket handle. The blade is designed with coarse cross-cut teeth for heavy trimming, secured to the handle assembly by a large central pivot rivet. The socket handle is cast with a recurved hook at the top for pulling down loose branches and an open socket for mounting to a pole. An embossed circular mark on the metal socket plate features the text 3000 at the top, ATKINS SAW in a semicircle, and MADE IN USA at the bottom. Accompanying the tool is a custom-fit blade sheath constructed from riveted orange-brown leather. The sheath includes a wide canvas strap with a metal buckle and features handwritten text in black marker reading Jack M.
