Silky BigBoy Folding Saw
The Silky BigBoy Folding Saw is designed for general pruning of medium to large branches. It has a tooth style that will cut dense and sappy timbers with ease. It has a hollow ground blade, which reduces friction when cutting. This allows the cutting stroke to feel very easy and fast.
FEATURES:
This style of tooth cuts a larger kerf in the timber than the thickness of the blade, therefore reducing the chance of the blade jamming in the cut.
The blades are made from high carbon steel called SK4. This is a very strong steel but is also quite flexible, which is very important in a hand saw. The blades are also coated in chrome or nickle to give them some protection from rust and resin.
The Bigboy blade has two settings. The first is a standard saw blade angle, the second has the blade pointing in an upward direction. This angle allows you to cut to a flat surface or enables you to have the handle away from branches that are slowing and inconveniencing your cutting. The handles are made out of a special rubber designed by Silky Japan called GOM. It absorbs a lot of the vibrations you get when cutting and allows you to have a very good grip, even when your hands are damp.
REPLACEABLE PARTS:
Everything on the Silky saws is replaceable, so if you lose anything you can order replacement parts, i.e. screws, blades, handles.

About Silky saws
Silky has gathered already 100 years of experience in the production of handsaws, always with the greatest devotion and according to the latest techniques. The special alloys used, the metalworking knowledge and the technical aspects of the different type of teeth configurations stand for a unique quality.
Unique blades
The blades are of unparalleled quality: they are very hard and longwearing, but remain flexible at the same time thanks to the metal’s soft core.
- Hard and wear resistant
The chemical composition of the metal in combination with the unique heating and cooling process determine the high hardness of the metal. The high carbon content leads to a high wear resistance, so that the sharpness remains for a very long time.
- Soft and flexible
By forging the saws in such a way, the core of the saw tooth consists of soft metal with which the saw stays flexible and grabs the wood with ease.
An extensive range
Silky offers a complete range of saws for pruning and woodworking, from folding saws to fixed saws, from curved to straight saw blades, each with a wide selection of teeth configurations. Telescopic pole saws are available in lengths from 2.40 m up to 7.70 m.
