Thread: Silky saws

I have a Silky folder, had it for something like 20 years now and on the 2nd blade. I have no idea what the current equivalent model is now but it's a brilliant saw, destroyed the first blade slicing brestbones. Only used the 2nd for wood, and it's lethal on wood (sliced my bloody finger near off with it - the paramedic with me was F-all use, nah harden up bro as I leaked all the way back to the vehicle). The hinged one isn't too much heavier but much easier to cart in my opinion, I carry it in my pack normally plus easy to swap the blade out if you stuff one!

For smaller wood I wouldn't bother with the saw though, compound hinged secateurs are a shit ton quicker.
