Silky - 717-24 GomBoy Curve Professional Folding Saw 240mm, Large Teeth Yellow

I was trail riding on my motorcycle last weekend, and three times we were block by treefall. Each time the Gomboy, carried inconspicuously in my bag, got the job done easily.

Using one arm to saw and one arm to brace a 4.25” log, this saw cut it in 1:30 minutes, same log took 3:50 with my Sven saw. It’s also lighter than the Sven by 30 grams (over 1 ounce; 270gm vs 300gm.)Problem with Sven saw is that when you get deep into the log, the side of log opposite the cutting teeth hits the saw bracing.The gomboy case (130gm) is too heavy to take on a human powered outing, however. The Sven saw is nicely contained within the handle, but the time cutting is nearly half so, lighter and faster is better. Plus you can’t attempt to cut thicker logs with Sven due to saw brace.*also Gomboy can be used as a snowsaw in this size for avy forecast, Sven saw cannot.Used this saw while climbing the trunk of a tree, the extra length of the 240 allows for branch cutting 3-4’ above your head depending on your arm length and the curved blade really helps when your one arming above your head with the other around the trunk as you balance on top of your ladder or steps. Small branches under one inch may be cut with one pull of the saw if the branch is within range of your reach to allow the hilt to contact the branch. This is an outstanding saw. I regret not purchasing earlier due to already owning that other saw in my picture.Time saved from cutting equals a lot depending on what your doing. It could be the difference between spooking a deer, money, time with family, getting a fire going before it rains, etc.

There are many less expensive options out there and I've owned a few of them. Decided to try this and compare it head to head and it cuts so much faster. I haven't used it enough to know if it lasts a lot longer but initial feel is that these saws are so worth the extra money over the cheaper versions. I love it.

Perfection edition to your pack or trunk. Folds and stores nicely. Cuts exceptionally well and smooth. Cleans easily and stores small and compact. Light and rugged for heavy use.

I use this to cut trees for mountain bike trails. This knife is super sharp and sturdy. The blade is thicker than other brands and doesn’t bend like other brands. I love it. I also like the plastic carrying case it comes with. Makes it easy to toss in my bag when on the trails. I bought a different brand knife before this for half the price, but the blade bent and broke after a few days. I am nope sold on these silky knives. They cost more money, but it’s well worth it.

Bought this saw for packing into the BWCA and it was the perfect comprise between have a long enough cutting stoke and being small enough to pack into my portage/hiking pack. Sharp and makes quick work of processing firewood at camp. It’s an easy grab when I’m working in the yard too.

Wow! This is my first Silky. I've purchased other cheap saws, and thought they were just fine. Then I used this. There is no comparison.I bought this as a bush saw to take with me out into the woods when camping/hunting. I chose to get it based on several reviews I saw on YouTube. After getting it a few days ago I decided I'd see how it handled. I had some scrub that needed cutting and clean up around the house.This saw cut through trees around 5" without any issues. I was actually quite surprised how quickly and easily it cut through the wood. I am definitely sold on this product, and glad I spent the money for a true quality product.*** P.S. Just a helpful tip so everyone knows. This is a DRAW (PULL) SAW, not a push saw. This means you get your cutting power when drawing/pulling it towards you. You are then supposed to lift the blade when pushing back to start. If you try to pull/push the blade it will bend or break as seen by those that gave it one star.

Cuts wood well. Less effort with this saw vs the Big Boy with XL teeth. I find that the big boy has me getting tired quicker than the gomboy curve. This saw is heavy. You're going to have a weight penalty pretty significantly with this saw. If you are conscience of grams, just get the pocket boy which is 4+oz and be done with it. If you are a four season backpacker this is the one of the best saws to buy. Don't be followed because you're a 'big boy' that you need the silky big boy, trust me, you want this one instead.not related to the saw...Mine arrived used and smelling like butt. :(
