Silky Professional Series PocketBoy Curved Blade Folding Saw 170mm Large Teeth (726-17)

The teeth on this saw are not typical of hand saw kerf, it is made to cut on the pull stroke only. This saw is extremally sharp with very aggressive cut and I was surprised how fast it cuts though branches with very little effort. One thing that takes a little bit of practice is applying cutting force on the pull stroke only. The blade is too thin to support much pressure on the push stroke. You do need to be careful that you don't cut the tree/branch in a way that the blade can be pinched. The blade will easily bend if its pinched and a lot of push force is applied. I use this to cut 1" diameter and larger Invasive bush Honeysuckle trunks. It cuts this soft wood very easily and the saw folds up and drops into a belt attached holster. Its light and easy to carry through the woods. I have slayed acres of bush honey suckle with this thing. I cut the trunk, treat the stump with Tordon and crawl to the next one. One man honey suckle Ninja!

Perfect for throwing in my hunting pack and useful my myriad of tasks from trimming a shooting lane to using as a bone saw. Compact with a nice case, ergonomic and sturdy grip and otherworldly sharp. If you’re on the fence about this because of the price just go ahead and buy it. You won’t regret it. I also own the larger Outback Big Boy for firewood and other chores around camp. Silky saws are the best.

All silky saws cut fast and effective but the curved blade models cuts noticeably faster than their straight counterpart. This is a small saw to throw in a bag or put on your belt using the plastic case (Which isn’t the best). It will cut decent size limbs and trees but don’t expect it to cut big diameter logs. I’m my opinion it’s great for sawing small firewood, clearing brush, building a shelter, clearing limbs for my tree stand and so on. If you want to cut big stuff go with the larger version. If this sounds good then buy it now. The curved one is the best option even tho it’s a little more expensive.

Sharp a small …cuts like a dream!

Great saw. Cuts quick and keep going. The scabbard slips off my belt easily and the closure is easily damaged. Most of the time I just put it in my pocket. A scabbard that reliably clip to a belt and a closure that stays on would help, but don’t change the saw!

Definitely worth the price can fit in any backpack or easily in cargo pockets great for camping

Good product

Great design and sharp too!

Sägt unfassbar gut und präzise mit viel Vortrieb. Kein Vergleich zu gestanzten Zähnen. Aber sauscharf und mit Respekt zu nutzen. Wer solch einen Formfaktor sucht, kommt nicht an Silky vorbei. Für mich die allerbesten und wirklich beeindruckend. Wenn ich das Haar in der Suppe suchen müsste, wäre das die Tatsache, das das Blatt im eingeklappten Zustand nicht arretiert. Es kann sich also unbeabsichtigt öffnen, daher sollte immer die (sehr gute) mitgelieferte Hülle nutzen.

Tres content de cette scie Silky, j ai le modele Bigboy 2000 egalement mais lorsqu il faut couper de plus petites branches ca n etait pas toujours pratique. J ai donc decide d acheter ce modele plus petit mais tout autant efficace. Tres compact une fois pliee, aucun bois ne resiste, les dents sont redoutables et cela ne prends que qq instantpour venir a bout de toutes les branches ou petits troncs d arbres. J ai perdu le systeme de fixation de la lame sur mon autre modele, esperons que celui ci ne se devisse pas ( j ai rajoute un ecrou et des boulons pour la maintenir en place) Surement la meilleure scie sur le marche, parfait pour le camping, bushcraft

Works pretty well, is quite sharp, cuts quickly. I do find clearing the points is a bit of a pain, wood fibers get stuck in the middle between the two edges and if you dont clean them right away, the soft wood will dry and harden and make it even more difficult.

High quality blade as expected. Makes sawing through large branches easy

è la seconda che compro (non lo stesso modello) perché sono estremamente soddisfatto! l'acciaio giapponese non ha rivali, le lame tagliano alla perfezione sia il secco che il verde! una volta finito di adoperarle, le lavo con acqua e sapone delicato poi, le asciugo e le ungo con wd40 oppure con olio di vasellina prima di riporle. sono letteralmente delle katane! consigliatissimo l'acquisto
