Description:
When you ask for the most compact and versatile folding saw, the answer is undoubtedly the Pocketboy. With the introduction of the Pocketboy Outback Edition, Silky exceeds all expectations of hunters and bushcrafters.
A thick and rigid saw blade makes this Pocketboy Outback Edition 100% outdoor proof. Silky has applied a black coating of a unique nickel/tin mix to the entire blade, including the teeth. This ensures long blade life and incredible cutting performance, not only in wood but also when cutting bone. In addition, the dark, non-reflective colour makes this saw particularly suitable for tactical operations.
The blade securely locks into two different cutting positions with the lock button. When the blade is folded, the sharp teeth are safely covered as they fall completely into the handle. And when you start cutting, you easily unfold the blade thanks to the notch in the blade, even when wearing gloves.
The 'Arbor Composite' handle is made of a wood/composite composition, giving a warm and comfortable feel and superior control. The handle is a little harder than Silky's usual GOM rubber grip, but offers more grip with greasy substances. Take this saw with you wherever you go; the Pocketboy Outback Edition is compact, lightweight and comes with a transparent hard case as standard.
The Outback Edition is available exclusively from us in the Netherlands!
How to use
Silky saws are designed to cut with the pulling motion. At the first start, you position the pull saw so that the teeth closest to the handle engage the wood first. After the pulling motion, guide the saw back to the starting position by a pushing motion (without force). During the pulling movement, the thin blade cannot bend because there is no lateral force on it. The blade only follows the saw cut. Should the saw still clamp, never push or force hard, this may cause lateral forces and damage or break the saw blade. Always remove the clamping weight to free the saw.
The Silky saw guarantees a fine cut and requires little cutting force. Do not stress the saw. As your grandfather used to say: let the saw do the work. You will be less likely to get tired and it benefits the life of the saw.
You can slightly control the saw's wood removal rate by where you hold the handle:
- Close to the blade: there is relatively little pressure on the blade. The saw will take the least amount of wood, allowing you to cut very controlled and with precision.
- Further away from the blade: more pressure comes to bear on the blade. The cutting action is maximum, but less precise.
We are not responsible for any damage caused by improper use.
Maintenance
- Treat your saw with love. The Silky saw blade must be kept clean or the cutting action will be lost. Resin dissolves in olive oil, so this is an effective, eco-friendly way to clean the blade. Be aware, however, that if you use more aggressive agents, they may affect the rubber of the handles.
- When not in use, dry the saw thoroughly, put it in its holster and store in a dry place.
- Keep out of reach of children.
