These saws go through wood like a hot knife through butter

Die Säge kam mit einer transparenten, aber stabilen Hülle an, mit der sie sicher transportiert werden kann. Und das macht auch Sinn so, denn der Pocketboy stellt eine absolut scharfe und schnitthaltige Zugsäge dar, die ich jetzt schon länger bei Reisen im Outdoorbereich im Gebrauch habe. Sie ist scharf wie am ersten Tag, obwohl ich mir ihre schon Brennholz, improvisierte Zeltstangen, Nussholzbögen und Pfeile geschnitten habe. Manche Äste durchtrenne ich damit in Kettensägengeschwindigkeit. Note 1 mit Sternchen kann ich dazu nur sagen!

I used to use whatever I had around to cut small branches but then I bought this saw and it works so well and stores very nicely in my backpack. A little expensive but quality is worth it and it has very sharp teeth and cuts very well. Worth the money.

I already own quite a few silky saws, but wanted a pocketboy for convenience while exploring around my camp. This is the first Outback version I’ve bought. One thing I noticed is that the handle material is quite a lot heavier than the material of the regular version. So if you’re a weight weenie, you might want to buy the standard version. This performs great, as one would expect, but I’m not really sure that the price difference is justified. It is quite a bit more expensive than the standard model. Does it outperform the standard silky? Only time will tell… it certainly looks nicer, but I didn’t buy it for the looks. The bright color of the regular models may actually be better for when you are in dense forest. If you dropped this guy in a heavily forested area it would blend right in. The only real negative is the price. This is a buy once, cry once item, and if you learn to use it properly, it will last you a very long time.

I've used this saw for everything from trail clearing on Search and Rescue missions to cutting down my Christmas tree. Sharp, good handle grip, cuts through softwoods up to 6 inches diameter like butter. Includes a plastic case with loop for strapping to your bag. I would only carry Silky.

I was hesitant to buy this because it seemed expensive but it cuts really well and comes in really handy. Worth every penny.

...but why they'd put it in such a nonsense case is beyond me. The cap came off about half the times I used it until it came off and disappeared on my last outing. No crappy case, no crappy case problems I guess.

Wow! I luv this saw and its (new) look! I've been having a lot of fun just cutting branches from an 80'ft felled-tree (with ease). Spring trimmings are already underway.Fwiw I also have the 240mm Gomboy, which is also great! But for branches up to 5", the Pocketboy is stiffer and cuts just as fast, plus it's easier and less bulky to carry, especially when collecting driftwood or cutting long branches that had felled for campfires, when wilderness camping.Previously, I've relied on my Bahco Laplander, which is also a great, tough, and lightweight folding saw. But there was a clear difference and advantage in cutting performance with the Pocketboy. At 8.8oz, it's 1.7oz heavier and about 1/4" shorter than the Laplander; but the Pocketboy cuts much faster with less effort, even though it mostly cuts on the pullback motion (1-way).The arbor composite (wooden resin) handle of the Outback Edition (series) just highlights its rugged looks and superior performance. The contoured-grip is very comfortable on the bare hand. Like others, I wish Silky included a more functional practical belt case (nylon/leather) for field use vs. the plastic one; but I suspect this may have to do with potential issues of rusting from saw blades(?). Otherwise, for those who faithfully take care of their blades and tools, this shouldn't be a problem.Rec'd: After cutting a while, I noticed that the handle will "stain" or darken after frequent use. While for most, this would impart a bit of character. I decided to personalize the look for my Pocketboy. I painted the relief-letterings, which are molded into the handle construction: [i.e. SiLKY, JAPAN] by using fine-tipped enamel markers in red and black colors to match its brand logo. I had to wear reading glasses to better control painting. After it dried, I applied Linseed Oil, which imparts a darker and warmer tone to wood composite; but imo it also helps resist staining from oil, grime, etc. The feel of the handle and grippy-ness doesn't change. Regardless, it looks great with or without it; but I know that this saw is mine. ;) And I don't ever expect to use another that bests it in function and performance.[Update Mar-2023] I found a sheath w/Malice-molle belt clips! At 9" tall and 3 -1/2" wide it's perfect for those who prefer to carry on their belt or attach to a (molle) pack, when out in the field. Check out the "G109370 Gerber Sheath Large Tan by Gerber Knives". (see updated photos)
