Thread: Silky Pocket Boy 170 - folding saw review

If your packing in and setting up a bit of a camp, you can slip a full size handsaw down the back of your pack, they don't weigh much, especially if cutting large stuff down for firewood.Better than a silky saw, faster and easier to use as you can put your body behind it. although being small they are handy for the top of your daypack but I wouldn't bother trying to cut anything more than a 4 inch branch, if your cutting big shit, then get a bigger saw

Id like to see a fair test between the silky, fiskars , bahco etc.

Have a look at the Gomtaro 300, I'd put it up against your etc and it won't be a fair test. Yep, they really are that good!
