Silky Professional Series PocketBoy Folding Saw 130mm Medium Teeth (340-13) | 8.5 teeth per inch (10 teeth per 30mm), Cut capacity 2.6 inches

The gold standard in portable saws for cutting wood. I recommend this saw to everyone who will listen. I've cut up entire downed trees with this and it just continues to rip through logs and branches like butter.

Silky makes a great product. I already own the Gomboy 210 (and love it), but was looking for a more pack-able size. The Pocketboy 130 fits the bill perfectly. This is a Japanese-style saw, so it cuts on the pull stroke. The thin blade reduces friction, and the tapered thickness helps reduce binding during a cut. Many people tend to go too fast with this blade style, resulting in binding, bending and breakage. If this is your experience, then you're using it wrong ! It only cuts on the pull stroke, and should not be pushed forward with force. Keep your arm aligned with the cut, push it forward more gently and apply more force on the pull stroke. It's not a race - let the tool do the work. I do about 1 stroke per second, and my Gomboy 210 performs like a hand-powered chain saw ! I fully expect similar performance with this Pocketboy. When closed, the saw measures 6.5" long by 2.1" wide at the locking lever (its widest point) and tapers from .58 thick at the pivot bolt up to .99 thick at the handle swell back by the lanyard hole. When opened, the saw measures 11.5" long. The exposed blade measures 5.24" long from tip to handle frame, with 4.75" of teeth, and measures .040 thick at the teeth tapering to .027 - .030 thick at the spine. The blade locks open in two positions. It does not lock in the closed position, but there is sufficient friction in the pivot to hold it securely in place. The construction is very sturdy - a full length steel frame with a large steel pivot bolt, and over molded with hard rubber. The rubber grip area measures 4" long. If you're looking for a compact saw, with excellent performance and outstanding design and construction, look no further - it's this one ! !

Some tools are purely utilitarian and functional, and perfection in manufacture is not much of an issue. So it is, but with these saws (made in Japan) the manufacturing quality is so high that you're tempted to treat it like a jewel, something to possess and roll around in your hand just for the joy of holding it. The medium tooth model is probably best for the vast majority of user applications, though a large tooth model is available (which ships directly from Japan) for green, wet wood applications. The blade is incredibly sharp and has virtually no "set" to the teeth, so the saw kerf is very thin, removing only what material is necessary, making for very fast, easy cutting. The teeth cut on the pull stroke only, like most or all Japanese saws, using quick, light (little or no downward pressure) strokes. The teeth are induction hardened to preserve sharpness, but this means the blades are not resharpenable with a file. The latter is okay with me. For most pruning and campsite clearing purposes, the 130 with medium teeth is just perfect. If you're cutting larger diameter branches, consider the 170 model with medium teeth. The 130 does indeed fit in your pocket, although it comes with a nice hard plastic case with a belt loop. If your wondering whether to buy a Chinese pruning saw for $18 or a Japanese one for $25, spend the few bucks extra for the Japanese (Silky) saw. For the small extra expense, the incomparable quality of manufacture and joy of using a Silky is worth it.

Good and sharp. Satisfied with use

Like all Silky saws, razor sharp and ruggedly built. Handy small size.

Pro: Great cutting, Great build quality, Compact design Con: Non-stainless blade Overall: A durable, compact, and sharp saw that has a home in any outdoorsman’s pack. I like to think of myself as an avid outdoorsman. I was a boy scout as a kid, and now most weekends are spent hiking, fishing, and camping. I am always on the lookout for top of the line gear to help me conquer the outdoors. The Silky Pocketboy 130 Landscaping Hand Saw is one of the best saws I have ever used in over 20 years. Construction: The Silky Pocketboy 130 Landscaping Hand Saw is built to last. The saw only weighs .5lbs, but it feels much more substantial in my hand. The blade locks nicely without any wiggle room Durability: At first, I was concerned with the durability of the saw. The handle looked cheap, and I was concern with a blade that was stainless steel. However, the saw has withstood drops, stomps, and all other sorts of abuse over the past year. It still looks brand new. The blade is still as sharp as the day I bought it. Cutting: This saw is a monster when it comes to cutting. The blade is only 5” long, so I’m not going to be chopping down redwoods, but the >6” diameter branches I cut stood no chance. This saw ripped through wood like a hot knife through butter. This saw never bound up in a cut like other hand saws I have purchased. Size: This saw packs a punch, but comes in a very small package. It conveniently folds up into a 7” package. The saw weighs only .5lbs, so It is hardly noticeable in a hiking pack. I think that 5” blade is a nice size for a general purpose outdoor saw. Price: The Silky Pocketboy 130 Landscaping Hand Saw is adequately priced. I have seen saw that cost upwards of $50, and saws under $10. This saw has a lot of bang for the buck. It doesn’t have a stainless-steel blade like other saws, but it also isn’t flimsy like cheaper saws.

OMG! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS POCKET SAW so easy to use…works amazingly well. Cuts large trees branches quickly with no effort

Always wanted one and finally got it! Sharp Small like it says a pocket size saw but not too small to handle the job. Good for backpacking.

Robuste, un peu petite, tranchant extraordinaire et increvable. Belle finition

Ótimo tudo conforme descrição recomendo

Very good sharp cutting blade slices through branches like knife going through butter.

Die Säge wurde schnell geliefert und nach den ersten paar Schnitten strahlte ich über das ganze Gesicht. Die Säge beißt ins Holz ohne dabei zu reißen. Die Schnitte gehen rasend schnell und sehen trotzdem sehr sauber aus. Durch die Einklappfunktion ist die Säge im Rahmen ihrer Möglichkeiten sehr kompakt und selbst in kleinen Werkzeugkoffern oder im Rucksack findet sie bequem Platz. Derzeit wird sie für den Ausbau eines Dachstuhls benutz und leistet dort bei allen Holzsägearbeiten treue Dienste. Selbst längs zur Faser angelegten Schnitten bereiten ihr keine Probleme, wobei hier schon mehr Zeit pro Schnitt benötigt wird. Der Griff ist ergonomisch und bietet für jede Arbeitsposition eine angenehme Griffmöglichkeit. Man muss eventuell etwas umdenken, da es sich um eine Zugsäge handelt. Wenn man bei der Nac-Vorne-Bewegung drückt, könnte sich das doch recht biegsame Blatt verklemmen und die Säge würde sich verbiegen. Wenn man aber einmal die Arbeitsweise verinnerlicht hat, ist es ein wunderbares Arbeiten. Die Säge wird bei mir im Outdoorbereich, auf der Jagd und im Handwerk benutzt. Eine ganz klare Enpfehlung

eccezionale potere di taglio, puo affrontare rami anche di spessore elevato
