I saw a coworker who had one when we had to clear some forest service roads so I ordered one as soon as I could. Cuts fast and is great quality

Me encanta, corta la madera como si fuera mantequilla. Bueno, estoy exagerando un poco... :) Es una herramienta sólida y de calidad con la que no da miedo enfrentarse a troncos ya de cierto tamaño.

Great for tree branches. Effective!

Prima silky mai posseduta e che dire, incredibile. Performance di taglio eccezionali. Taglia il legno come burro e con un dispendio di energie minimo in confronto ai concorrenti. Molto importante ricordarsi che la sega è giapponese e quindi taglia tirando. Una volta presa la mano con il movimento la trovo molto più comoda di una occidentale. Il costo non è sicuramente trascurabile ma la uso da mesi per raccogliere legno verde per intaglio e con una leggera manutenzione (pulizia a fine giornata) è ancora in perfetto stato, come nuova. Sono riuscito a tagliare sezioni di diametro persino superiore alla lunghezza della lama con un poco di pazienza. Assolutamente consigliata. Non la userei come muletto per tagli troppo vicini al terreno o per radici, la lama non può essere riaffilata.

Heavy duty, cuts great

Produit utilisé en camping sauvage et bushcraft très performant compacte avec un bon grippe de manche .

Die Säge ist extremst gut verarbeitet und liegt sehr gut in der Hand.Das Sägeblatt ist Rasiermesser scharf und man kann hören wie die Säge schreit, gib mir mehr Holz!Tolles Produkt und der Preis ist gerechtfertigt!Klare Weiterempfehlung meinerseits für diese tolle Säge.

Perfect Bushcraft size.I'm thrilled I finally bought a Silky.The reputation is deserved.PS---This saw cuts on the pull stroke.Care should be given on the push stroke.The blade CAN snap if you bend it too far by pushing a stuck saw. I push down and then forward, and no issue whatsoever in fast clean cutting.Worth the money.

Great size to carry and cuts beautifully.It’s not a huge saw but can handle 4-6” diameter limbs and camp wood NP. I’m in the arborist business and is a great side hand saw.Blade at this length will not buckle and is replaceable if something does happen.Solid product!!!

I really do love my Silky saws. I have a smaller one that's perfect for carrying, dropping in a pocket in a vehicle, etc. It's handy but short, so I got this one to have one that's got more draw on it for cutting larger stuff. Smooth, fast cuts. Don't really care for that belt loop connection, but I don't use it, it just hooks into the lid so you have to unhook it before you can open that up.

Cuts quick, became loose after some use, but would still recommend

BELT RELEASE: To easily remove the black belt loop, first press the middle of the loop with your thumb, then simultaneously use your index finder to disengage the clasp at the top (see photos). You can place your thumb almost anywhere along the loop and this technique will work but pressing approximately 2 centimeters down from the hole in the belt loop seems to work best. Unclasping the belt loop is not intuitive, so I wish they had included some instructions...a bit frustrating if you don't know how to do it.HANDLE GRIP: The grip smells like cardboard or particle board and even though it looks smooth, and you might expect it to feel slick, it is quite grippy and has a very good grip texture, maybe even better than rubber. I was surprised.OVAL HOLE IN THE BLADE: The oval hole in the top of the blade near the spine appears to be a thumb-grip, where you can pinch to release the blade. If you oil your blade or put a bee's wax/mineral oil mixture on the blade, the blade will be slippery and difficult to unfold unless you use the oval hole as a grasping point.SAW FITS CASE ONLY PIVOT POINT DOWN: The saw case is designed so that you can only insert the saw pivot point first (or metal end first, when closed).FOAM TO STOP RATTLE: The saw does rattle in the case when closed. I cut a strip of foam, 6 inches long by 3/4th of an inch wide by ¼ of an inch thick (15 centimeters long x 2 centimeters wide x 7 millimeters thick) and placed it in the hinged lid. When I close the lid, there is absolutely no rattle at all. (see photos).NO LOCK ON BLADE (use ranger band): The blade does not lock when closed. However, even when shaking or trying to flick the blade open freehand, the blade does not fly out. If you are concerned though and want to carry your saw out of the plastic case, just use a “ranger band” if you are afraid of the blade coming out in your pack.Otherwise, the saw seems pretty good. Did not seem as sharp as I expected, but maybe I was cutting some exceptionally hard wood? The main trunk of a 40-year-old dead pear tree? I’ll try some other wood and report later. I have another Silky saw (F180 Silky saw, yellow, fine tooth) and it seemed to glide through the branches of that same tree, approximately 3 inches thick, leaving an exceptionally smooth cut surface.EDIT Sept 11, 2023 (upgrade from 4 to 5 stars): My mistake, the Silky Outback is VERY sharp...I was using the wrong cut technique so that is why I initially thought it was not as sharp as expected. You need to put 90% of your effort into the PULL stroke and 1% to 10% (if that much) into the push stroke...actually, you should not really try to cut anything on the push stroke, or you might break the blade, just lift off on the push stroke to set up for the next pull stroke. Just focus on the pull stroke and you don't actually have to put any muscle into the pull stroke either. Just let the teeth of the saw make contact with the wood on the pull stroke and allow the teeth to do all the work or do all the "heavy lifting" and then you will realize how sharp and effective the teeth are.

This is the one. I've always carried bahco laplander saws and let me tell you fellas, this is worth the extra money and worth placing in All your packs. Love this saw. Only other option for larger size consideration is the agawa boreal 18 and 24 which I love for cutting larger diameter wood during backpacking trips. Hunting pack gets this amazing silky saw for durability small package and l8ght weight.
