Silky Professional Series PocketBoy Folding Saw 170mm Medium Teeth (340-17)

Excellent for sawing english ivy vines off trees.

amazing product

Superb, lightweight, reliable, fast folding saw. I purchased this specifically for backpacking/camping fire-making/emergency shelter making. It does a very fast and clean job on dried wood up to about 3.5" in diameter. The blade does have flex to it, so larger/heavier branches/wood pieces need to be kept from biting/clamping down on the blade after the pass through or it can stop the blade cold. When cutting down a seasoned sapling into smaller 16" or so segments, I had to let the weight of the long end teeter-totter over a fallen tree. That way as I cut and put pressure on the short end, the weakness in the cut line would force the wood apart instead of together. It cuts fast (if the wood diameter is half the blade length or smaller) and cleanly. It only cuts on the pull, but it's not noticeable when working IMO. I'll take this with me from now on unless I'm on a very extended backpacking trip where every oz. counts. Pros: - Great construction - Nice handle - Excellent locking mechanism and hinge - Dual-position locking point for regular/down-swept and up-swept positions - Fast, clean cutter on seasoned wood of size - Nice case Cons - Not as fast on green wood, but different toothed blade would help here - Flex in the blade and a narrow cut makes blade stoppage a problem in some scenarios Overall an excellent small folding saw for it's designed target wood size. I'll likely be getting a larger version for use around the house or "luxury" camping where larger dried wood might be available. Highly recommended!

Well made, very sharp, easy to use! Perfect for bushcraft, camping, emergency, and yard work! Great gift for the outdoors man

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Easy to use and was able to cut big branches with this.

Unfortunately I don't have experience with the other popular folding saws on the market, but I absolutely love this saw. Lightweight, reliable, and very good at cutting. I purchased this over comparable options because of the design mostly. I prefer the texturized rubber grip, and the simplicity of the thumb tab when releasing the lock. Also there are 2 cutting positions, allowing for more versatility. The saw only cuts on pull strokes, but I have no preference. This saw eats wood as others have stated. I remove the plastic case and add a loop of paracord when I take it on trips. I've made hundreds of cuts with the blade that was originally attached, and it is still remarkably sharp. Medium teeth gives more cutting variety I would argue, and I've cut soft, hard, and green woods. Cuts through 8" thick pine in about 180 seconds. Never actually timed anything. My only concern is that when your strokes are too vigorous when cutting, you can end up jamming the blade in at an angle accidentally. I've bent the blade a few times this way. Straighten it out and cut away however; slow is smooth, and smooth is fast.

A little too short to cut anything of size.

Purchased in 2021, has been with me on every summer camping trip for the past five summers and is still going strong. This little saw has been the only saw needed for everything from ultralight hiking to car camping. Able to actually handle trees and logs up to its full blade length with very little trouble, but better with up to 5" trees and logs. The lock isn’t exactly in the best place, but once you get used to not over gripping the handle, it’s no longer an issue. Well worth its weight in the pack, even the clear acrylic case.

Très bonne scie de poche, à manipuler avec précautions, les coupes sont nettes.

Ich war auf der Suche nach einer kleinen, kompakten Säge, die sich problemlos transportieren lässt. Da die Klappsägen von Silky vielfach empfohlen werden, habe ich mich für ein Modell dieser Marke entschieden – und wurde nicht enttäuscht. Die Säge wird in einer transparenten Schutzhülle mit praktischem Aufklappverschluss geliefert, wodurch sie optimal vor Umwelteinflüssen geschützt ist. Der Klappmechanismus rastet sauber ein und weist kaum Spiel auf, was für eine hochwertige Verarbeitung spricht. Das Sägeblatt ist hervorragend verarbeitet und sehr scharf. Beim ersten Einsatz war ich überrascht, wie mühelos die Säge durch einen Ast gleitet. Ich nutze sie hauptsächlich im Garten, um unseren Apfelbaum zu stutzen, wenn die Äste wieder zu lang werden. Meiner Meinung nach gibt es an dieser Klappsäge nichts auszusetzen. Sie überzeugt durch Qualität, Handhabung und Leistung – und das zu einem Preis, über den man wirklich nicht meckern kann. Absolute Empfehlung!

It's such a pleasure to use knives that are truly sharp and this is one of them. Makes gardening work so much fun and satisfying! This works great too for ladies with smaller hands. Be super mindful when using - they are really sharp! If they make kitchen knives too, would not hesitate to buy them!

Topzaag!! Handig om mee te nemen en zeer goede zaagkracht.

Cortes muy limpios, tamaño ideal.
