Silky GomBoy Curve Professional Folding Saw 210mm, Large Teeth (717-21)

Nice design, lightweight. Most importantly, it CUTS. Wicked sharp and ready to do business. Very nice to have in your pack. Along with a hatchet, you're well equipped to make a pile of firewood. Just pay attention to the blade length. I was thinking I was getting the longer version. No big deal, happy with the purchase.

I have a couple of electric chainsaws for on the ground work but I bought this silky saw and attached it to an extension pole so I can reach high up to take branches off a tree before I cut it down. It has served me well doing that and I can always take it off the pole and manually use it on the ground. These are the sharpest and easiest to use saws around, just be careful and don't nick yourself with it cuz it can cut the skin quite easily. I have three silky saws now, I have no complaints.

This saw is awesome. Also bought the MOSSEY oak saw which comes with different blades for plastic and metal, but this saw kills it when it comes to straight wood cutting. I have been taking this and a small hatchet in my backpack while Mnt. Biking to clear trails. With this saw doing the initial cut, then hatchet down, then saw clearing 1-4 inch trees no hatchet in like a minute and larger trees 5 - 24 inch in 5 - 10 minutes. Yes its a workout! But its the best folding saw i have ever owned. Comes with a plastic carry case the protects the saw while in the pack.

I have two of these, one for home, one for my cabin. It’s a perfect tool for all kinds of tree trimming, cleaning up of branches and taking down small scrub. Works beautifully.

My husband loves his. Has held an edge after a few uses. Packs down well, and good blade thickness. Worth the purchase.

Cuts one inch and smaller (hard and soft) branches in 3-5 pulls or about 5 seconds (max). Cuts two inch wood in about 10-20 seconds depending on hardness. Cuts 3 inch wood in about 30-40 seconds depending on hardness. Didn't test larger, but adding 15 second increments per inch is a safe 'scale' to determine how quickly it will cut. I'd probably max out on 5 or 6 inches though. It can be done, but will be more tedious considering blade length. Makes some clean cuts, even with the large teeth, and is extremely easy to use. I lightly push back over the cut without digging in to make it easier to keep cutting. It requires hardly any effort to cut (emphasis on that), which is extremely useful in not burning excess calories. The 'sheath' holds nicely on a belt (unless you're wearing a 'loose' belt), and will spray paint mine as the orange stands out through the clear plastic (which is good if you're trying to find it if dropped, but not if you're trying to keep a 'low profile'). It is not as secure of a latch on the 'sheath' as I'd like it be, but it didn't pop open on me while frolicking about testing it lol. Worst case, I'll keep it the pack, and put it on the belt when processing wood. Invest in different 'sheath' if you use a 'loose' tool belt as this primarily stays on through compression between your body and belt. (Which is comfortable by the way) The large teeth make quick work of any wood. Can use a multi-tool for fine (small) cutting, or a medium blade (I'll be purchasing another large and possibly medium blade for versatility but extra blades will -not- fit in the case unfortunately). This size is perfect for practically all your needs except large wood processing. The weight is negligible (far exceeds usefulness vs weight, it's extremely light anyways) and will be a necessary item as it'll outperform any hatchet and most axes, especially when considering energy usage. I don't suspect durability will be an issue, but it's fair to expect many years of heavy usage. Only downside is you can't sharpen the teeth apparently. Will put that to the test when the time comes, and is also the reason I'm purchasing some extra blades. Bottom line, this thing is an invaluable resource in the backcountry. Definitely worth the money and is a good investment. Glad I bought it.

Let me start by saying this saw works great. Only problem I see is the blade doesn't lock closed. Seems every cheap version of a folding saw locks closed but for some reason this nice, sharp, amazing saw doesn't. I have a 10 dollar ozark trail saw that has a amazingly rugged blade locking system but, that's worth nothing on that saw because it doesn't cut very well at all. The plastic case is a joke but, the saw itself is great other than the blade not locking in the closed position. Cuts Much better than fiskars saw which I have as well.

Very sharp

Ottimo coltello a sega

This saw is one of the best easiest, lightest I've ever used. The cut on this saw is amazing, the handle is easy to hold, it cuts through anything. Blades are strong and durable. Would buy again for sure.

Fantastic little saw. I bought it to use backpacking/hiking to clear trails as a courtesy as I go. I had a bunch of trees fall this year on my favorite trail near my house so used this as a test. The largest tree I managed to clear was 11" diameter, but I had to cut out a couple of wedges to make it work. I cleared about 6 fallen trees that all ranged from 11 to 4 inches and it handled them all with speed! Some people mentioned the tip breaking which I think is user error. It's Japanese, which means it cuts on the pull stroke; I suspect people were pushing, the blade bound and it snapped. Treat it with care and it should last a very long time. I'm very happy with this saw.

Silky è il numero uno nelle lame. La Gomboy è ideale per le piccole potature, taglia come un rasoio, leggera e piccola al punto giusto. La lama è giustamente flessibile, quindi se devo tagliare roba molto grande, superiore a 10/15 cm e secca farò fatica, ma non è il suo lavoro. Piccole potature di rami verdi e secchi top! C’è anche il fodero per riporla dopo l’uso, pulita mi raccomando. La pulizia solo con prodotti non aggressivi. Consiglio vivamente Silky!

Ich liebe die! Super scharf, leicht, auch an mit größerem Werkzeug schlecht zugänglichen Gerät gut einsetzbar, gut zu reinigen (btw bei frischem Harz hat sich auch die Handwaschpaste bewährt...).
