I've been doing utility work in California for 34 years. In researching some new equipment for upcoming work I stumbled upon these two delightful and knowledgeable reps... I love UA-cam:)
Thank you!! We have a brand new one coming out very soon, just doing the last bit of editing this week. (Lots of demos showing the Zubat, shhh don't tell anyone 😅)
@@SILKYsaw I look forward to the (top secret upcoming) next video - I swear by my Pirate Sugowaza Saw that I shall tell no-one! In fact, I'll even swear by my buccaneers! (that's right, the ones each side of my head that I listen with!) 😂☠️😇🤭❤️
Thank you, ladies! These are the two saws that I am trying to decide between for camping/bushcrafting. You have done an excellent job in giving a comparison. I'm still somewhat undecided, they both seem as lovely as you two (well, they're just saws so that's a bad analogy...) ...And extra thanks for the "hack" about using the Big Boy case for the Ultra Accel!
Hi, You would choose the Super Accel if you wanted a slightly more robust saw and if you have large hands. It has a bigger handle, so is more comfortable for larger hands. ☺ Nita
@@artMccolly The Ultra Accel does not have an aluminum handle. The super Accel does. The Super Accel is designed to be as light weight as possible, hence the Aluminum frame.
I would think both of these saws' teeth will be too big, as I imagine you are cutting small branches. Have a look at the Pocket boy range. ua-cam.com/video/lIuVbbHVkHI/v-deo.html 😃 Nita
Trying to decide if the curved blade or straight blade is better for cutting logs down to smaller size for carving, but unrelated to that, what's the closing song used on this video?
Hi, A curved blade is designed for angled work and the straight for head to waist zone. However, if you need to cut flat to the ground a straight will make that easier. As for the song, it's just a youtube tune that they allow you to add to your videos, so not sure of an official name sorry! 😊 Nita
For my Gomboy 210, would that same gom case (shown for the 240 Gomboy in this video) fit properly or do those gom cases come in a specific size for each Gomboy? Also, I could not really tell the difference too much between the difference in cutting.
@@SILKYsaw hmm. That might be why one guy on his youtube channel said he switched to the 240 from 210. He didn't say it was easier...that I remember but I needed the biggest one I can carry every day that will fit in my sling backpack the 210 was pushing the limit for sure but a better choice than the 170, to get that extra length.
They are very similar. The larger teeth will be marginally faster on soft, large material. I would be picking between them based on the size of my hand. The ultra has a bigger handle grip, making it more comfortable for larger hands. Also the Ultra has more of a curve to the blade making it more efficient when cutting on angles. I hope this makes it a bit easier to pick 😀 Nita
@@SILKYsaw ...thank you, young Aussie. I just bought the Ultra because my first use, and most frequent, will be for firewood on day hikes. If I fall in love with Silky, as everybody seems to do, I’ll get a bigger one for backpacking because I like to throw some serious heat 🔥 while camping at night.
@@bikerbruce1988 Sounds like a great plan! Don't forget, they cut only on the pull stroke, so great tip is, if the handle is touched what you are cutting, you need to reverse pressure. Handle should never bump into the branch your cutting. Enjoy your first Silky saw experience 😃
@@SILKYsaw hmmm...I’m not sure what you’re saying. (I thought I’d be an instant pro, but maybe not so:-) Are you saying don’t push the saw in so far (deep) that the handle touches the wood? Or...make sure not to use downward pressure during the “in-stroke”? Thanks for your help Nita! I do want to look like a Silky pro on my first time. And I hope it’s not past your bedtime on the other side of the world.
@@bikerbruce1988 No quite the opposite, I had just started work! You are totally correct. Don't push so far (or most so hard) that the handle touches the wood and don't use too much downward pressure. You will be a pro within 5 minutes!!
Great question. There a number of different Silky's that can sharpened. Did you want to know if a particular saw is sharpenable? We have a made a video explain which saws can be sharpened and why - ua-cam.com/video/hCP63PXSzJU/v-deo.html Please let me know if there is anything else I can help with 😊 Nita and Shenae
Hi, no sorry, we are only allowed to sell Silky Saws in Australia. Please contact Silky Japan and they will let you know your closest distributor. 😀 Nita
The blade tapers and is thinner towards the spine which is why it doesn't need saw curf. Look closely and every 7th set of teeth are flat ground tips. I admit I just saw that by looking down the saw blade I noticed a different pattern evenly spaced every 7 teeth.
Hi James, sorry to taking so long to reply, crazy busy here at the moment and good spotting, most people don't notice that little tooth out of place 😄! Silky saws are hollow ground to reduce friction when sawing. The tooth you are seeing on a different angle is part the other Mirai-Me tooth style. This style of tooth gives the smoothest of all the Silky cuts. By having the 7th tooth on a different angle it allows more wood to be cleared from the cut giving a better final result. Thanks for watching the video and your comment! 😀 Nita.
Hi, the cut is basically the same, you would buy based on the handle. Ultra Accels handle is wider, so normally people with larger hands find it more comfortable. 🙂Nita.

Great to see our favourite UA-cam stars back again! Thanks Nita & Shenae for another informative & enjoyable Silky-talk! 😊🤗❤️

Nice to see you back.🍻
Thank you, we will hit you with another one, (if we work hard enough), by the end of the week! 😂 Nita and Shenae

Thank you so much for your comment! Don't forget the handle on the Ultra is a bit bigger, so think what is going to fit best in your hand. 😊 Nita
So why would any choose the accel over the gomboy
Hi, You would choose the Super Accel if you wanted a slightly more robust saw and if you have large hands. It has a bigger handle, so is more comfortable for larger hands. ☺ Nita
@@SILKYsaw is the aluminum more robust that the steel frame?

Hi, I started to prepare branches for macrame. So..which saw fits better?
I would think both of these saws' teeth will be too big, as I imagine you are cutting small branches. Have a look at the Pocket boy range. ua-cam.com/video/lIuVbbHVkHI/v-deo.html 😃 Nita
so which one should i pick for cutting through hard wood ? Because i camp in a forest in which the wood is rotten outside but very hard inside
Out of these two saws, I would select the Gomboy curved for your needs.
You girls are beautiful ! Thanks for your videos, great to see you ! Kiss from France !
Thank you!

Yes the Gomcase will fit both the 210 and 240. Hard to show the cutting difference in a video but you can feel it for we sure!
@@SILKYsaw hmm. That might be why one guy on his youtube channel said he switched to the 240 from 210.

And soooo....? Do the 8 teeth cut better or the 7.5? The video of the saws cutting appear that the ultra accel cuts better.
They are very similar. The larger teeth will be marginally faster on soft, large material. I would be picking between them based on the size of my hand.

Take care from Canada.
Yay! You're back! I've missed seeing your awesome videos!
Thanks, hopefully a new one will be coming out soon!!! And lots of wood cutting LOL
I hope so lol! I have a female friend who's awesome at sawing wood! It's awesome to see her do her thing with the handsaw!
So which one cut better?
