Just a few of our favorite things!
Whatever winter holidays you celebrate, it’s November and that means it’s time to light the candles and queue up the holiday cheer. If you have someone on your holiday list who will be delighted to unwrap a Silky, here are are a few of our favorites to gift this season:
Pocketboy
Professional 170mm
Outback Edition
What it is: An easy-to-carry folding saw that cuts through wood and bone.
Who it’s for: Hunters, anglers, campers, overlanders
Most unique feature: The arbor composite handle looks like wood, but has superior grip and control in wet and cold work conditions. The black nickel/tin finish on the blade adds durability and reduces reflection. The teeth of the blade are heated and hardened to stay sharp three times longer than non-hardened teeth. The blade has four cutting angles for rip-cutting, cross-cutting, and slant-cutting–all of which leave the cutting surface smooth every time.
BigBoy 2000 XL Teeth
What it is: One of Silky’s all-time, best-selling saws, the BigBoy 2000 is a perfectly balanced curved-blade folding saw with long reach, extra large teeth, and maximum blade-to-wood contact for quick and smooth cuts.
Who it’s for: trail stewards who need to clear big blowdown, contractors and DIY homeowners, home arborists
Most unique feature: The non-slip, two-handed, rubberized, cushioned handle provides a sure and comfortable grip even in tough operating conditions.
NATA Hatchet
What it is: A 9.5” blade double-edged hatchet that’s 13.35” overall.
Who it’s for: Campers, hunters, anyone who chops firewood or clears land of branches and small trees and vines.
Most unique feature: The double-edged blade is ultra durable and resin and rust-resistant. The non-slip rubberized grip absorbs shock while providing a secure hold.
ZUBAT ULTIMATE
Professional 330mm
What it is: The favorite handsaw of American arborists and the professional tree care industry, now with progressive teeth that give you both the bite of smaller teeth, which make it easier to get your stroke started, and the speed and power of larger teeth for efficient cutting.
Who it’s for: arborists, both professionals and hobbyists.
Most unique feature: The exceptionally strong and well-balanced Zubat Ultimate blade has progressive teeth that are smaller near the handle and larger at the tip of the saw blade. Scraper-shaped GOKAI-ME teeth remove sawdust from your cut and let you make rip-cuts, cross-cuts, and slant-cuts with ease. Also, the saw has a distinctive black metal-plated ebony scabbard, with a lower profile than the previous Zubat sheath.
F180 Large Teeth Folding Saw
What it is: Silky’s most affordable saw, and the best do-it-all folding saw
Who it’s for: Home gardeners, trail fairies, and arborists on a budget
Most unique feature: The red handle indicates that this saw comes with big teeth that make quick cuts. The blade locks into the fiberglass-reinforced comfort handle in both open and closed positions.
Katanaboy 650 Folding Saw XL Teeth
What it is: This two-handed, professional, heavy-duty 25.6” blade folding saw is one of the largest folding saws made. It’s also one of Silky’s top sellers.
Who it’s for: Foresters, ATV’rs, Snow mobilers, trail stewards
Most unique feature: Made for big jobs, this saw cuts more like a chainsaw than a hand saw, and it has a long reach. The long, well-balanced, taper-ground blade with impulse-hardened, non-set teeth provides extra-long reach and faster cutting even when you’re tackling large limbs and tree trunks.
Fun fact: The Katanaboy comes in a range of lengths, and the largest version, the Katanaboy 1000 is the largest folding saw you can buy.
