Effectively cut a 3 inch diameter branch in 3 or 4 strokes. Best pruning knife I have ever used. The clear plastic sheath is a winner, too.

It's such a pleasure to use knives that are truly sharp and this is one of them. Makes gardening work so much fun and satisfying! This works great too for ladies with smaller hands.Be super mindful when using - they are really sharp!If they make kitchen knives too, would not hesitate to buy them!

Unfortunately I don't have experience with the other popular folding saws on the market, but I absolutely love this saw. Lightweight, reliable, and very good at cutting.I purchased this over comparable options because of the design mostly. I prefer the texturized rubber grip, and the simplicity of the thumb tab when releasing the lock. Also there are 2 cutting positions, allowing for more versatility.The saw only cuts on pull strokes, but I have no preference. This saw eats wood as others have stated.I remove the plastic case and add a loop of paracord when I take it on trips. I've made hundreds of cuts with the blade that was originally attached, and it is still remarkably sharp. Medium teeth gives more cutting variety I would argue, and I've cut soft, hard, and green woods. Cuts through 8" thick pine in about 180 seconds. Never actually timed anything.My only concern is that when your strokes are too vigorous when cutting, you can end up jamming the blade in at an angle accidentally. I've bent the blade a few times this way. Straighten it out and cut away however; slow is smooth, and smooth is fast.

REVIEW: June 11 ,2015PLEASE NOTE:USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN USING THIS SAW.The Silky Folding Saw WILL BITE ITS MASTER!!IT IS DELIVERED--- NOT JUST RAZOR SHARP BUT- EXTREMELY LIGHT SABER SHARP!! GLOVES, SAFETY GLASSES AND A HEAVY DUTY PARACORD LAYARD LEASH ARE HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Also to open the saw Blade you can attempt to INSERT A ZIP TIE INTO THE SMALL OPENED NAIL KNICK ON THE BLADE. THEN CAREFULLY; OPEN THE BLADE SLOWLY!!!The SILKY Folding LANDSCAPING HAND SAW POCKETBOY MODEL HAVE MUCH LARGER "GOLIATH FISH SAW MILL TEETH" than my recently acquired: BACHO 396 9 inch LAPLANDER!THESE GOLIATH FISH TEETH ON THE SILKY LANDSCAPING HAND SAW POCKETBOY' HAVE A SEEMINGLY MORE OF A SUPER AGGRESSIVE ALTERNATING TOOTH CONSTRUCTION DESIGN versus the Bacho's single tooth construction. THESE TEETH,THE SILKU FOLDING LANDSCAPING HAND SAW TEEH EFFORTLESSLY BITE INTO LOGS WITH NO PROBLEM! When you start the first cut, these teeth seems DIG MUCH DEEPER THAN THE BACHO LAPLANDER! This indicates to me; that the Silky Landscaping saw REALLY WANTS TO RIP THROUGH WOOD; LIKE A FEEDING FRENZIED TYRANNOSAURUS REX ON STEROIDS!THE SILKY FOLDING LANDSCAPING HAND SAW POCKET BOY HAS SOME ADDED BONUSES:1) IT COMES WITH A SEE - THROUGH CASE. I CALL THE CASE A HEAVY DUTY MUZZLE TO PROTECT THE USER!!2) The handle is an EXTREMELY COMFORTABLE GRIPPY HANDLE .3) THE Positive LOCK Ratcheted SAFETY feature allows the user the ability to Safely saw timber at different angles. 4) Low Work Stress- The large teeth allows the tool do the work for youYou will find that the Silky Landscaping Saw a REAL joy to work with!Apply a light coat of your favorite lubricant or wax to not extend the life of the blade. Some UTUBE Videos recommend using Aa coat of JOHNSON'S WAX PRIOR TO CUTTING YOUR TIMBER.I also purchased a spare Silky 170mm #347-17 Pocket Boy Japanese Saw Blade!Would I purchase the SILKY Folding Landscaping POCKETBOY AGAIN????MOST DEFINITELY!Check out the EXCELLENT and IN DEPTH SILKY SAW TESTS : Virtual Voice.com Videos On UTUBE!VIRTUAL VOICE cuts through Large fallen trees with various models of Silky Folding Saws!!

Superb, lightweight, reliable, fast folding saw. I purchased this specifically for backpacking/camping fire-making/emergency shelter making. It does a very fast and clean job on dried wood up to about 3.5" in diameter. The blade does have flex to it, so larger/heavier branches/wood pieces need to be kept from biting/clamping down on the blade after the pass through or it can stop the blade cold.When cutting down a seasoned sapling into smaller 16" or so segments, I had to let the weight of the long end teeter-totter over a fallen tree. That way as I cut and put pressure on the short end, the weakness in the cut line would force the wood apart instead of together.It cuts fast (if the wood diameter is half the blade length or smaller) and cleanly. It only cuts on the pull, but it's not noticeable when working IMO.I'll take this with me from now on unless I'm on a very extended backpacking trip where every oz. counts.Pros:- Great construction- Nice handle- Excellent locking mechanism and hinge- Dual-position locking point for regular/down-swept and up-swept positions- Fast, clean cutter on seasoned wood of size- Nice caseCons- Not as fast on green wood, but different toothed blade would help here- Flex in the blade and a narrow cut makes blade stoppage a problem in some scenariosOverall an excellent small folding saw for it's designed target wood size. I'll likely be getting a larger version for use around the house or "luxury" camping where larger dried wood might be available.Highly recommended!
