Silky Saw Pocketboy 130MM

The Silky Pocketboy Folding Saws have four different colours for the different tooth sizes. The saws are designed to cut on the pull stroke. The blades are made out of a high carbon SK4 steel, which is very strong but also quite flexible, which is very important in a hand saw. The blades are chromed to give them protection from rust and resin.

The handles are made out of a special rubber called GOM and it is extremely comfortable to hold. It provides very good grip, even when your hands are damp.

Everything on the Silky saws are replaceable. There are 4 tooth sizes in the Pocketboy range and these blades are interchangeable with the handles.

So if you would like this saw which is ideal for general and larger limb pruning, you could also purchase a replacement blade of the medium tooth which is ideal for carpentry and bamboo.

The Pocketboy is available in four different teeth configurations:

Large (8 teeth per 30 mm) - also available with curved blade
Medium (10 teeth per 30 mm)
Fine (20 teeth per 30 mm)
Extra fine (26 teeth per 30 mm)

The screw can easily be unscrewed without needing tools, so that you can have one saw for multiple purposes, as the blades are interchangeable. The Pocketboy is standard delivered in a transparent hard case with belt clip.

How to use

Silky saws are designed to cut on the pull stroke. At the first stroke you place the pull saw so that the teeth that are closest to the handle grab the wood first. After the first pull stroke you slide the saw back to the starting position by a soft push stroke (without force). During the pull stroke the thin blade will not bow because there is no lateral tension. The blade just follows the cut. If the saw ever becomes caught, never push hard or wrench, this may lead to lateral tensions which can damage or brake the blade. Always lift the weight off the blade to release the saw.

The Silky saw guarantees a fine kerf and requires little force. Do not burden. Like your grandfather always said: let the saw do the work. You will feel less tired and it lengthens the life of the saw. When you see the sign of impulse hardening the saw is impulse hardened and cannot be filed with the Silky file. You can recognize it by the black teeth tips, caused by impulse hardening. You can slightly control the wood loss by the place where you hold the handle:

• Close to the blade: there is relatively little pressure on the blade. The saw will take the least wood, making you able to saw in a highly controlled manner and with precision.
• Further from the blade: there is more pressure on the blade. The cutting action is maximum, but less precise.

Silky is not responsible for any damage caused by improper use.

Maintenance

• Treat your saw with love. The blade must be kept clean, otherwise the cutting action will be lost. Resin dissolves in olive oil, which is an effective and environmental friendly way to maintain the blade with. Be aware that if you use more aggressive liquids it can damage the rubber material of the handle.
• When not using the saw, make sure it is dry at all times. Store the saw in its scabbard in a dry place.
• Keep out of reach of children.
