I recently bought one of the accel 240 Silky 4 -5 months ago to use at the High Mountain Homestead in my wood lot.
THEY ARE AMAZING !! I like it, So Much, , I ordered anouther to keep on my 4-wheeler.

I wish they'd been availible when I was working with the Forest Service building and maintaining trails, man would that have saved me some serious elbow grease ! I worked with them for >16 years and have used every saw known to man and these Silky saws blow everything else out of the water .

Believe me, if you don't own a Silky saw, , , get ya one, you'll never go back to anything else !!Seriously, , ,

After owning many budget saws and knowing how well they work I can honestly agree with this review. By far, these are the best portable saws you can get. I have used Fiskar, Corona, and other box store saws.
Being able to swap out blades for different teeth is a plus. I own two Silkys, the pocket boy and it’s larger big brother.
Silky has raised the bar for others to meet.

As an avid hiker the PocketBoy 130 has earned a permanent place in my pack. It may be small, but it can be a workhorse, for trail maintenance among other uses. Also, I've gotten to where I cut my walking stick when I actually need one. Good review. The Silky "Outback" version as well as the Bahco Laplander come in earth tone colors, so I use a bright colored chord as a lanyard to make it easier to spot on the ground.

I have had the big brother of this saw for about 2 years and I've been very happy with it. I mainly use it around the house, for trimming unruly shrubs and trees, but I keep it stored in my 'get home' bag in my vehicle.

I would recommend it, but I would also caution those who are a little clumsy or not handy with tools. This saw is incredibly sharp, and it can be dangerous if not handled properly. I would also recommend carefully cleaning any sap off of the blade before putting it away. It will prolong the life of the tool.

Great gift for the landscaper in the family.

I’ve been debating over the last 3 years to put one of these in my B.O.B. looks like I’m going to have to get one now.

[jrswackhammer]

The best folding saw I've ever owned hands down!! Good stuff Don 👍!

[jntroisi]

These are by far the best saws. I have the Pocketboy, Gomboy and Katana 500 and couldn't be happier with each!

High carbon steel is only important when using Flint (the rock) and Steel.
Only two things you need to scrape ferrocerium rods:
1. It needs to be harder than the (relatively) soft ferro.
2. It needs to have a sharp or abrupt enough edge to scrape shavings off the ferro.

I've used river clam, oyster, etc shells with ferros. Tin cans, stainless steel knife and saw blades, sandpaper, etc with ferros.

The Silky saws are phenomenal! I got the Silky F180 (which is a bit cheaper than the pocket boy but more useful in my opinion because of the slightly longer blade and slimmer design) and it is just awesome. Never had to sharpen it, it is so light weight that I put it in my EDC bag (I don't even feel the extra weight) and it goes through branches like butter. Very sturdy. Just love it - was worth every cent!

Oh yeah, get a set of gloves - Trust me, you will need them when using these saws. They are super sharp!

Been meaning to add one to my kit for awhile however your video re-reminded me. Ordered and scheduled to be here Monday. Thanks.

I purchased a silky Gomboy 240 curve last year and i love it, its a beast

[pissedoffpotato]

Ive been into silky boys for a while now!! I cant believe my husband and i still dont own one. Its really an excellent tool to have. Its perfect for our tacoma along with the rest of the stuff we are still currently working on. Thank you sootch for an incredible content. Youre always an inspiration to everyone.

[FiveElementsTactical]

I’m pretty new to the Silky Saws too. I had the Bahco Laplander for a long time., and a Fiskars too. But the Silky blows them all away. I went with the Gomboy I think is one of the mid-size models. I like the pocket one. I gotta pick one up. Great review as usual. Keep it up. 👍🏼

[RealityCheckGA]

I own 3 silky saws. I love them all 3. They are amazing. My latest one is a Katana Boy. It is a great no fuel chain saw solutions. Perfect for processing campfire wood or building a larger structure.

[glockholliday]

Absolutely. I have the pocket boy and big boy. I gifted a katana boy too that I wish I had myself. I use the big boy more for home landscaping than anything. Good reach and fast cutting

[az-chris]

Silky saws are the bomb!!! I have this Pocket Boy, but they have dozens of other models of varying sizes, some fold, but others don't. These are designed by arborists for a variety of different tasks. The ergonomics are always fantastic and the quality is unrivaled.

[Foxholeatheist]

Silky makes great saws. Check out the Outback series they've come out with now. Just a tip, though: ferro rods don't care what material you use to scrape them... anything will work. Carbon steel only matters if you're using flint and steel, since the flint strikes the spark off of the steel. With a ferro rode, the scraper tool scrapes the sparks off the rod. As long as your scraper is sharp-edged and doesn't crumble apart, it will make sparks.

I started out with the Pocket Boy and liked it so much I added added a Bigboy 2000 to my 4 wheeler tool kit. Great saws, just remember that they cut on the pull stroke and you shouldn’t have any trouble.

[marzcapone]

Been camping with axes, machetes, and/or large knives, for years. Once I got the Silky, I realized how many calories I was burning by chopping fire wood. I use my Silky's around the yard on a regular basis.
