When you’re asking for the most compact and versatile folding saw, the answer is undoubtedly the Pocketboy. A thick and rigid saw blade makes this Pocketboy Outback Edition 100% outdoor proof. Silky applied a black coating of a unique nickel and tin blend to the entire blade, including the teeth. This provides a long blade life and an incredible cutting performance, not only in wood but also when sawing bones. In addition, the dark, non-reflective color makes this saw particularly suitable for tactical operations.

The blade securely locks in two different positions with the locking mechanism. And when the blade is folded, the sharp teeth are safely covered as they are completely concealed in the handle. When you are going to use the saw, the blade can simply be unfolded thanks to the notch in the blade, even when wearing gloves.

The arbor composite handle is made of a wood/plastic composition, giving a warm and comfortable touch and superior control. The feel is a bit harder than the usual GOM rubber handle from Silky, but it offers more grip with greasy substances. Take this saw with you wherever you go; the Pocketboy Outback Edition is compact, lightweight and comes standard with a transparent hard case.

Silky saws are known as the best handsaws in the world. Folding saws are especially suitable for outdoor purposes. They are compact, lightweight and like all Silky saws: razor-sharp!

In addition to the extensive regular range, Silky has a special series for bushcrafters and hunters; the Outback Edition. The 3 most popular folding saws have been released in a completely new variant with a black coating and an arbor composite grip. Next to the Bigboy 2000, Gomboy Curve and Pocketboy in the Outback series, Silky is launching the new Nata Double Edge in full Outback style! Take a look at our products for more information.

So what makes these tools so unique? First of all, Silky has more than 100 years of experience in making handsaws, using the most advanced techniques and the finest Japanese steel. The unrivalled knowledge of metalworking ensures a unique combination of wear resistance and strength of the saw blade.

The teeth are not set, but ground with extreme precision from the blade. Because the teeth saw on the pull stroke, you can cut smoothly and quickly without using lots of energy. The saws in the Outback series all have an extra thick blade. Anyway, always use a pull saw as it should and do not force the push stroke.
