Great saw, handy when folded, case protected against accidental opening. The saw itself is locked when unfolded and won't close by accident. And it cuts very well, provided you follow the manufacturer's recommendations (cutting 'towards yourself'), because if you press too hard while moving 'away from yourself', the blade bends.

Silky is a Japanese brand of hand saws, founded in 1919 in Ono by Katsuji Miyawaki. For over a hundred years, it has been considered synonymous with precision and reliability, and its saws are distinguished by their high quality. They are made of the highest quality cutlery steel, subjected to impulse hardening technology, and designed for “pull” cutting, which allows for light work and smooth cuts in wood. In 1980, the brand patented its own saw setting process, which significantly improves the sharpness of the teeth; the technology was used in models such as the 4-Retsume and Miraime2. Silky models are used by arborists, foresters, carpenters, and bushcraft enthusiasts around the world. An interesting fact is that the 1985 Silky “Gomboy” saw was the first on the market to have a rubber-coated handle, which distinguished it in the industry and earned it the prestigious Good Design Award in Japan. Thanks to the combination of Japanese craftsmanship and modern technology, Silky has been setting the highest standards in the hand saw segment for decades.

Great saw, lightweight, with protection against accidental folding, and it cuts very efficiently (if used according to the manufacturer's recommendations). After several uses, it is still sharp. Plus points for the rubberized handle and the case.
-
I own several different models from this manufacturer and I am satisfied with all of them. I always keep this size in the car because it doesn't take up space and sometimes it proves useful.
-
Durable and precise, it handles different types of wood very well. Compact and lightweight, easy to carry – ideal for the garden, camping, and working outdoors.
-
The saw cuts great, it is very sharp which makes even thicker trunks easy to cut in the blink of an eye. Additionally, the blade is replaceable, which is also a big advantage.
-
Very good saw. It handles even thicker logs with ease. It's sharp and stays that way for a long time (I've been using it for over a year). Its cover also deserves praise—it's tight and sturdy. The saw is quite flexible, so you have to be careful not to bend it during fast cutting as this could break the blade.
-
A big plus for the plastic case and another big plus for the ability to replace the blades. Very good quality of the saw. Very fast shipping. I recommend it, Paweł!
-
Really great saw; quality as usual – silky... However, the size is very universal and gives a lot of possibilities, while still being compact and lightweight.
-
Top-class equipment. Recommended by most bushcrafters. In my opinion, it’s the perfect size for cutting medium-sized logs for a campfire. It will also handle larger ones without a problem. I suggest watching videos on how to use them before trying. These saws do not forgive mistakes and it’s very easy to break the blade.
-
The saw is very solid and easy to use. It easily handles even large and thick branches. As a backup option to the hatchet, it's a very good proposal. I recommend it.
-
The saw is solidly made, you can feel the quality in your hand. Cuts very well. It’s a must-have in every outdoor kit for any travel enthusiast. As usual, express service from Militaria.pl, greetings.
-
The Silky Gomboy Curve 270-8 folding saw cuts perfectly. I’ve been using it in the garden for a week and I am very impressed. What can I say? Japanese reliability, tradition, precision. An excellent saw!
-
The saw blows away the store-bought one I had before. Fast and smooth cutting, it had no problem handling a dry pine about 20cm in diameter.
-
The saw is lightweight, so it doesn't weigh down the backpack. The blade is thin, which helps when cutting, for example, thicker logs. It cuts very well and stays sharp without any issues.
-
Very solid equipment, compared to the previous saw I used, this one is much better. The price matches the quality, but it’s better to wait for a promotion.
