SilkyProfessional BIGBOY Folding Saw 360mm Large Teeth (354-36)

This saw is bad-arse!! I hesitated purchasing given the price, but now that I’ve used it a few times I wouldn’t think twice to buy another. With very little effort you can chew through 2”-6” tree/limbs in seconds. Anything 3” or less takes literally two strokes. The grip is just the right level of ‘grippy’ and the bright color is great for when you need to toss the tool aside to manage the tree you just cut down, the folding feature is extremely simple and convenient, and the cut is super clean. If you’re in the market- don’t think twice. You’ll be happy you bought this!

Sharp, efficient, effective, rapid cuts. Highly recommended.

My husbands order. He has bragged on how easy it cuts. He has cut limbs and plywood. Easy to store.

I'll start by saying, I really like this saw so far. The longer blade is extremely useful if you intend to cut wood/branches that might be up to 8 inches or perhaps even larger. I would think much larger and you diminish it's efficiency but you could certainly cut larger sizes with more effort.Solidly made construction. the blade is thinner than I expected, as this is my first longer blade saw from silky. I guess I shouldn't have been too surprised since that is one of the trademarks of the Silky but I figured longer likely meant a bit thicker. The blade flexes easily, just by whipping it to the side a bit the blade will flex. Not a bad thing mind you, in fact, it's really a good thing, thinner means less friction, less material to remove on each stroke, hence more efficient use of your energy.The saw cuts like a machine, I got the large tooth blade as I intend to use it for larger sized cuts and use my smaller 240 for limbs and medium tooth precision cuts and sawing. which works very well.I can also confirm that I like the thin blade very much. I'm typically a bigger, thicker heavier is better kind of guy. Not in this case, I have not used it extensively yet but have knocked down several cuts on 4-7 inch diameter wood. The large tooth bite allows for a much faster cut than the medium so I am impressed and very happy about that. As is typical with most of the well designed saws, you really do not want to exert much force on the saw.In my experience thus far, I have had almost no binding or jumping unless you exert unnecessary force on the blade. It cuts well without it, just keep a nice line and rhythm and it cuts like butter. The thinner blade and that flex I mentioned earlier appears to help alleviate some of the conditions of binding which I really like and again, you are working to remove a smaller amount of material to make the cut so it is very efficient.I also like the 2 position capability, that comes in very handy and is a well thought out addition for functionality and ease of use.The one thing that would be a nice to have is a blade lock when the blade is folded back. The lock out is solid, would be nice to have a similar notch in the blade on the fold to lock it down as solidly in the folded position.The blade is extremely sharp, I have had a saw or 2 jump off track and take a bite out of my hand, you do that with this saw and you might be making a trip to the hospital.One last note, this is a cut on the pull saw, it does not cut in both directions.Would definitely recommend, I intend to use it for camping/bushcraft and well, it's intended purpose of trimming my larger trees around my property.

Cuts like a much bigger tool.

What an incredible saw. I've had many saws over the years for camping and hunting but this thing is just amazing. I have never been able to cut through so much wood so effortlessly. Fallen limbs are a breeze and even smaller fallen trees in my path are no problem. I honestly pull this saw out over my small chainsaw quite often now since it cuts so rapidly that by the time I would have had the chainsaw primed and running the job is done. I wouldn't try using it while climbing with a tree stand since it's quite large but for a pack saw or even in the truck it is perfect. It slipped into one of my machete sheaths nicely so I can carry it on my person if need be. I love how the handle can be opened in an upward position which really makes cutting fallen limbs at ground level so much easier. I am so glad I found this saw on sale here on Amazon since normally it was quite a bit more expensive. Even at the full retail price though it is well worth the cost. The fact that the blade is replaceable and even can be had in different coarseness is a bonus. If you are debating whether this saw is worth the money believe me it is. I baulked at buying this saw for some years now and I kick myself for having waited so long. I'm extremely pleased with this tool and when and if I need another saw I'm definitely getting another Silky.

This thing performs amazingly well. Had this out on two camping trips and its my new favorite saw. used to use a Svensaw but the triangle frame would often block bigger cuts. This one does not suffer from that design limitation.

We carry this on horse pack trips as well as in our side by sides. It has come in handy several times where we encountered a fallen tree blocking a trail.The saw is intuitive to use, has VERY sharp blades and is easy peasy to cut with. The best thing is to be patient and let the saw do the cutting, nice long strokes where space allows, very little pressure. You'll cut a decent sized log (4-20") in no time - you won't even break a sweat.It is awfully expensive but in this instance I think you get what you pay for.
