You can use the sharp 90° spine of any silky to strike a ferocerium rod, process kindling, shave wood for wood crafts, you can even use the top of the spine in the closed position to carve spoons and other concavities. The high carbon steel can even be used as a fire striker for flint and steel. Plus, the ease of use for changing out blades makes it the most versatile woodcraft and bushcraft saw on the market today, in my experience.

After 98 strokes, im "silky big boy."

Blade shape helps prevent binding. Some people have issues accepting silky is a pull saw, trying to cut on the push.

I dunno man, I think this video shows that there's not necessarily much difference. Silkies are great, if you can afford one then get one! But if you've got a smaller budget, the Corona did fine too. I'd be interested to know how it performs in other regards though. Would the Silkie be more durable and keep it's edge longer, for example?

​@@rickwilliams967this type of comparison is incredibly helpful for people who use this type of tool in their day-to-day life. Might not seem like a big difference if you're just using it for the odd job, but that's when you move on from the video because it's obviously not for you. Nothing to do with bias unless he's being sponsored, which isn't the case here.

You cannot believe how great Silkys cut when you use them for the first time. There is no better hand saw than a Silky. I have about 5, with various tooth sizes, lengths and for different uses. Can highly recommend them.

Silky are great saws. I use mine everyday to cut elms for my goats.

Silkys are absolutely amazing, got one because i’m very big into bushcraft and when you put a silky with a saw horse, is cuts like butter through bigger logs

"You see those soldiers from hammerfell? They got curved saws. BIG curved saws."

I love my silky big boy had it for over a year and its still razor sharp

I love taking my silky saw when i go backpacking!

Thank youuuu, perfect for my zombie apocalypse survival tool kit

Also silky saws tooth pattern is a bit different than what you’d find on pruning saws that are similar to them. This makes them just a tad easier to use, plus the blades are quality.

i built my whole shop with this, instead of using a skilsaw. took alot longer and took more sweat, but it has more soul.

Got a silky Gomboy Outback and I love it! Still want a big boy, but given how well the gomboy works and what I'm cutting I can't justify it.. yet.😁

I'll stick With Corona.I can do ten more strokes for the money

Lonnie from Far North Bushcraft and Survival introduced me to Silky saws. I've never found a better, more versatile saw. It's all I use for camping, hiking, hunting and yard work

Very nice! My husband has an older model- this would be a great gift. The handle is longer and probably not as stable.

The Silky Gomboy, in my opinion, is the best backpack saw around.

I was looking at a silky saw. There was a good deal on the mid sized one. I had a thought and checked the price of replacement blades. It was almost 50% more than the entire saw. So I bought a Tajima G-saw with a spare blade (made in Japan) for less than the price of the silky on sale. Seems to do the same job just fine.

Thank you for showing the price! Most don't keep up the Great work.

OOPH! A CONVERT!Okay, I have a curved 210 Gomboy that I've used to easily take pieces larger than that. Used it for trail work, for jobs the just weren't worth packing the chainsaw for, as well as casual Bushcraft. Loved it. The only time I've run into trouble was when I screwed up, got in a rush, bound it in a narrow kerf, pushed too hard, and snapped the blade. Totally due to my not being used to her pull-cut yet, and my fault. I love my saw, and plan to pick up some finer tooth blades for the Gomboy, and a Katanaboy for larger cuts.

I have the Katanaboy folder. 20" of serious Japanese steel. The modern Samurai sword.

These work amazingly great

This one of the very few areas i treated myself with the best of the best...and i have silkies

I Googled Silky Bug Boy and the first hit was men’s briefs (underwear)!

Silky makes the best hand saws!! As a 30 year arborist, that's my go to hand saw.

there is a silky that we climbers use that not only have a crved blade but whats called a vine cutter at the tip which cut through vines like butter Just gotta be careful around your ropes

Corona also makes a couple saws that fold like this.

If you spray Lysol on the blade, helps it with the dull Problem.

I used to have a folding saw like that. Loved it. Idk what ever happened to it. Prolly left it in the woods considering I can't find it.

You make great content keep doing don’t give up

Apples to Apples is the only true Study o Confirmation ❤

Only 98 strokes? Those are some rookie numbers!

I remember a year ago now I snapped one of these cutting a birch tree for a heli pad. So somewhere in northern Alberta Canada there’s the tip of a Silky Boy saw blade in a birch

I have the folding corona saw, ive had it for a while but i also have the smaller version too the cuts like butter like my older one use too. Im definitely im a corona fanboy for sure but id love to get a silky saw

I have a gomboy. Great saws. But they are meant for younger, green wood more than dried, fat logs, although as you can see they handle that just fine as well.

I would be happy with either one

They’re worth every penny

I like the CORONA saw much better.

Corona has a model that is like the silky big boy

That my boy is a Saw Cleaver from bloodborne

I love my big boy i keep it in a black tube sock keeps the sharp edges from scratching my pack and shavings out of my bag

Bigger teeth+ brand new. I've gone through a couple coronas. They're crazy sharp for 6 to 8 months, I guess it depends on how long it stays sharp.

they both dull around the same rate and use the same impulse hardened steel

They're also a whole lot more delicate and expensive. I'll take a bow saw frame and a couple blades rolled in a tin over these any day. Thin pull saws are great in the shop but most important thing in the bush imo is reliability.

Get the katana silky Saw it's a manual chain saw

There's a studly guy. He looks at the camera while folding his sharp saw. 😮

this orange saw can used with 2 hands so it has more power

Work fast have the silky bind up and the blade will shatter had one snap and fly right into my leg and cut me open

Thats alot of big boy stokes. Ive been there.

I have a kind of unrelated question. What dehydrator do you use and if it is expensive, what other dehydrators can you recommend? I love fruit leather and dried fruit in general and plan on using it to replace sweets in my nutrition.

You take a file and individually sharpen each tooth. It takes a while. I’ve never done it before so look up a tutorial but I know what to do.

I recommend Coronas unless you’re going to be an avid outdoorsman. The performance to a novice isn’t going to justify the cost. Also, until they get more experienced and organized, having stuff that you aren’t going to panic over losing is important

😂you must have got the silky on black Friday or something

Silky saws are designed to cut on the rip back not the push forward. Prevents possible damage bending blade if you fetch up. Put your energy in the pull back when cutting something. Love my Silky Gomboy!

@taitsmith8521

Ай бұрын

Both of these saws are pull saws. There are no curved push saws. But, the handle on the Corona was meant for an English style push saw, which is dumb in my opinion.

The handle is more important. A bow saw would actually take less cubic inches than either saw. It can be hung from the outside of the pack if necessary. Most importantly, you can use 2 hands so you can always cut faster or for a longer period of time. A folding saw handle is the worst to use or even hold. It's not great for the wrist.

I love my silky!

Personally, I don’t like curved blades. They make it hard to cut precise notches

They sound like both equal; size being the issue for the consumer to decide upon.

What's that guard your using on the corona blade? Is it just a chainsaw scabbard? I've got a similar set up on my corona saw using it's original package but that looks much more durable.

I'm not sure I'd use these without gloves.

Weight is the main factor for me

2 handed vs 1 handed is a huuuuuge difference

To have used the other one for a year it didn't do bad at all really. And $83 isn't a fair price. MAYBE $40 if it comes with at least a 1yr warranty imo. ❤

Wow! If you only buy a new saw at triple the price, you can save 14 seconds! Time is limited when you're sitting in camp.

Corona is always going to be at a disadvantage compared to survival saws. Because one is meant to do yard work, while the other one is literally meant to be able to use to build shelters and shit. It’s a no brainer which one is better for the specific purpose.

Love my silky

The silky 390 zubat is my favourite.

Novel idea. Sharpen the Corona.

Careful it will bite you at some point

Corona has a foldable blade like that yellow saw.

Hey Sir. What about a good axe for your backpack you can use anytime everyday?

And how do they compare to a bow saw with a brand new, good quality blade?

Just buy a Corona folding saw, muchhhh cheaper than the Silky. It will impress you with how quick it cuts through wood by the way.

Are these saws impulse hardened or are they hand sharpenable

Silky is cute!💕

$83 They saw you coming.

1. Question... How long does it last compared to the Price/Saws?

Comparing an old saw blade to a new one eh? Okay... Whatever... Not like we can't guess ahead of time which one cuts better.

I would call them equal in all due time
