Our volunteer group is finding saws for Ukrainian army forces. Your review helped us so much. Silky saws is perfect for military using, they compact, durable and cut so good.
We would love to have such a store over there. Mind you, with current situations I don't know if we will ever be allowed to leave our country again. The world seems to have gone a bit crazy! Silky's however remain constant. Super sharp, and outstanding in performance. We love them and are thrilled that we get to sell them! 😃 Thanks for your comment, Nita and Shenae
@@SILKYsaw Sugawaza 420 with XL teeth...and a gomboy 300 medium teeth straight blade because its supposed to be the "ultimate bushcraft" saw...figured I'd better get it hah. I have a zubat 240, but while cutting a branch hit a nail and goofed up some of the teeth =-/ (eventually i''ll get a replacement blade) The only thing I didn't like about it, was it was just a hair too short for larger logs. I do a lot of winter camping and its nice to have a good fire. So I figured i'd try out the Sugawaza 420,. =)
@@HalfInsaneOutdoorGuy You are going to love the Sugawaza, its awesome. And in regard to the Zubat. When you do replace the blade get a 270 as it has the same handle and sheath as the 240. 😃
as a lady from nebraska usa i would like to thank y'all for the best video on silky saws evah! y'all are the only ones who said what the damn slide guard is for! i thought it was to protect the hands from branches....due to the fact they were pull saws. silly men. i have two silkies: the big boy 2000 (yellow) & the katana boy 500. i will need to email y'all to ask if it's best to have different saws for different woods and how to change the blades on them. (if i want to carry just one saw but, need different blades on them.) alot of us hikers and campers use silkies for our wood processing needs and carrying alot of saws just doesn't work well in our kit. subbed.
Hi, thanks so much for your comment! You are welcome to email us. Ideally you have different saws for different uses. In your situation, you could carry a medium tooth blade for your bigboy. This would be useful for your smaller cuts or you could get one of the very compact saws the pocket boy for smaller branches. ua-cam.com/video/lIuVbbHVkHI/v-deo.html. Using saws with large teeth like to two you have are awesome for large branches, but will jump and vibrate around on smaller ones and very dry dead one, making it easier to cut yourself and will cause the blade to go dull faster. We hope this helps, Nita and Shenae 😃
such lovely and smiling ladies. it is rather hard to focus on the begining of the video but i manage eventually. :) thank you for the explanations as i am looking for a garden/forest saw and it's hard to make a choice since there are so many models and sizes. i can't order from you as i'm from Europe, otherwise i would have been convinced to buy. also it seems that in europe there is a big premium to pay.
Hi hhcosminnet, thanks for your comment! These saws are up there in price, but they are so worth it. When making your choice, just remember that curved blades are designed for angled work, whereas if you are mostly working in front of your body go for a straight blade. 😀
@@SILKYsaw good and simple explanation for straight vs curved. forthe work i do perhaps straight is the choice, but for women, I like'em with curves. :)
Hello young Silkies...Thank you for your videos and info. I just bought my first Silky, an Ultra Accel, and tested it on trees 🌳 in my yard. Yes, it’s badass! My primary need/uses for saws are for making firewood while backpacking/camping/day hiking, and also to clear downed trees from the trail as I ride my mountain bike. So, for me, it’s never about a clean cut or protecting a tree, it’s only about cutting through the wood as quickly as possible, while carrying the smallest size and weight that’ll get the job done. Ironically, I spoke with the Silky distributor for North America and was surprised at how little they knew. I don’t want to hurt their feelings, and maybe I spoke with the wrong person, but the representative did not really know the difference between models, nor their intended purpose. So, I hate to “use” you fine, young Aussies, but... I’d like to know the following: 1) What purpose do the various types of teeth serve? (ie making smooth wood after the cut, cutting green wood, dry wood, hard wood, quick cuts, etc???) 2) What is the reason for straight blade vs curved 3) What is the purpose of the two locking positions of the blade? 4) A brief tutorial on blade maintenance and care (I see it here⬆️, but it was very brief and deserves a video dedicated to it) If this info already exists, I’ll be grateful if you can provide a link. You seem to be the best source of info (because I can’t speak or read Japanese) and so I’m very grateful for your help. And so sorry for your petrol baths; you seem to have recovered completely:-)
Hi Bruce, we are sorry to hear that you didn't the info you needed. Happily though, we have made videos on all your questions, so hopefully they help. 1. I think this video explains teeth the best. ua-cam.com/video/D9LdGEWA2jI/v-deo.html also this one talks about set or non set teeth ua-cam.com/video/pNC7KlnN8c0/v-deo.html 2. This video talks about straight verses curved ua-cam.com/video/vErCDzfdMRY/v-deo.html and this one is one of our first, so a bit cringe but dedicated to this subject. ua-cam.com/video/Aw07LJ0DOI0/v-deo.html 3. This one mentions the two locking positions ua-cam.com/video/lIuVbbHVkHI/v-deo.html 4. This one explains how to clean and use your saw properly ua-cam.com/video/IhVIb5qF2H0/v-deo.html We hope this info helps, 😃 Nita and Shenae
well said ladies.. I say hand saws are like a mechanic tool box ya need the correct tool for the best job , rt tool for the rt tree , I work with a guy who thought a maul was an Axe ( WHATT ) great education I personally own 5 hand silky saws ( smiles from mtn view California ) love your videos .. Joe
I actually have the sugowaza and I can agree. I use it when I don't want to get my superb Makita 2*18v DUC353z out. Especially in areas where it just feels to dangerous to use the chainsaw like overhead or especially inside smaller trees where branches are everywhere and you like to cut the branches first. I'm no professional arborist so I am special cautious especially after a broken and squashed finger in a table saw accident. I use my gumboy 210 curved for pruning small fruit trees if it gets to big the Sugowaza. And the guard looks just cooler and protects the saw to slip down the scabbard when it is used a lot. I saw a video where this was a problem after years of heavy usage and not for 30 cuts a year like in my case.
You gotta look at Makitas DUA301 - 14ft brushless battery pole saw. A dream to use overhead. I’ve just added the Hayauchi 21ft polesaw for the longer reach, and a Nata Rachet for ringing and killing (with Triclopyr gel). So good to have the right tools for every job
I'm fast becoming an armchair expert on Silky saws LOL. One day someone will ask me, "What type of saw should I buy"" And I'll ask them what they want to use it for and then recommend something...and say, "But don't take my word for it. Check out Jannita and Shenae's videos and they'll give you the best advice."
Hi RichieV, yes absolutely. We are on the corner of Steel and Neumann Road, Capalaba. Give us a call if you need to come down early or late, as sometimes we are open early and late but not each day. 😃 Nita PH: 07 3823 1599

@@maicinban Hi, of course we can! If you send us an email - silkysaws@hotmail.com I can email you through a diagram on how to sharpen your Sugoi and what angle to sharpen each tooth on 😄 Thanks, Shenae
Sugoi 420 was my personal choice and the only saw I couldn't get my hands on (but still covet) is the prototype only Katanaboy 1000mm. It goes in my wilderness gear. I have a small hatchet for branches. Here in Michigan's U.P., if I need firewood, I also need a lot fast.

Butter or coconut oil works for sap as well mam
That's a good idea. The EASy cleaning spray is great too, as it has the anti bacterial side. Good to stop spreading disease.
Just don't let your dog near it
Is the EASy cleaning spray available in the US? If not, what else do you suggest using to clean and protect the blades? Thanks
Hi, not at this stage sorry. To clean tea tree oil or eucalyptus oil works well. To protect spray with a lanolin spray. (sheep oil) Nita.
Stihl has a sap cleaner
Can i put the zubat saw on the left leg because i used my left hand ?
Unfortunately the Zubat does not have the ability to switch around to a left leg as the Tsurugi does. 😏Nita.
