Loved by our bushcraft gang. Folding lightsabers might be better in some galaxy far, far away but this isn’t far, far behind.  Big enough to handle thicker branches and fairly thick trees but small and lightweight enough to fit in your backpack. Perfect for your hiking and hunting trips but also great to have in your car and take care of those pruning jobs at home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal length: 760 mm (30\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade length: 360 mm (14.2\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClosed length: 406 mm (16\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: c. 450 g (1 lbs)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle color: Red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteel: Chrome-plated SK4 high carbon steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTooth configuration: Large, 7 teeth\/30 mm (6 teeth\/inch) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle: Rubber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLanyard hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBlade\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSilky Bigboy comes with a 360 mm (14.2\") blade. There are also smaller and larger Silky saws available. The blade length you want depends on the diameter of the wood you want to cut. A rule of thumb is that the blade should be at least twice as long as the branch. Of course, the longer the blade, the faster the job gets done.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBigboy is available in several tooth configurations. The larger the teeth are, the faster and more aggressively you can saw with it. Smaller teeth give you more control. This Bigboy here comes with Large teeth, which are designed for fast-growing, fresh wood with a lot of moisture. Thus it is quite perfect for bushcraft use. The blades are interchangeable within the same blade length. So, you can acquire different blades from Silky for different uses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe precision-ground teeth have four cutting surfaces each. Unlike classic Western saws, they are \"non-set\", so the teeth don’t tear the wood, instead, they create a very fine and smooth saw cut. The clever design of the teeth has several advantages. You can saw faster with less power and the blade doesn’t get stuck in the wood that easily.The impulse-hardened teeth cannot be sharpened with a hand file but they last three times longer than non-treated teeth.

This and a notch smaller Gomboy are both very popular among our bushcraft gang.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnlike the western saws, Japanese saws cut on the pull stroke. Pulling keeps the blade straight, so the blade can be thinner without feeling wobbly. They are also easier to use because pulling is easier to control than pushing.
