You're the reason I got a silky saw. I've abused it for a year straight while bushcrafting, and it's still 100% pristine (big boy 2000). My favorite piece of gear.
I like be mine! I’ve had it several years and it has pruned a very large and old silver maple along with its sister an ash. Hard wood and it flies through the wood!
I've been using Silky saws for about 15 years, I was introduced to them doing Climbing work as an arborist. I received all 3 of the Silky Outback series saws for Fathers Day and have to say that these are an improvement over their already awesome saws!!! I LOVE these saws!!!! Thanks Nate!
the thing I love about Canadian Prepper is he's not some crazy survival nut. he's just a regular guy trying to have the most fun outdoors, the most efficiently.... love your videos please keep them coming
I bought the Big Boy 2000 XL this January and have found it to be quite nice. I have nothing to compare it to as its my first ever hand saw but the teeth are still as sharp as the day i got it after a lot of use on various types of wood. Even use it for woodworking projects when taking out the power tools is inconvenient. Looking to upgrade and downgrade to the Katanaboy and the Gomboy to have an all around good selection. For my immediate needs (bushcrafting), the Bigboy XL is perfect. I have no complaints. The bright orange colour was something that bothered me at first.... until i almost lost it in the woods. Now i love that it’s bright and in your face. If you’re only gonna use it sparingly and only ever go from your pack to your hand and back, then sure the bright orange can be an inconvenience to some, but if, like me, you are actively building things out there in the woods, you’re going to be putting the saw down here and picking it up and putting it down and picking it up and having that bright colour really helps in both locating it and preventing you from stepping on it and breaking the blade. This is an interesting new line. They certainly have my attention. Maybe ill get one of those bushcraft Gomboys instead of the traditional as the Gomboy is less for building and more for convenience.
I love my Silky saws but eventually they do need sharpening (which I have found imposible to do myself) or replacement of the blade. I am a forester and use the saws a lot and roughly every 4 years I have to buy a new one. That is still a very good performance! You are right about the handle, I prefer the pistol grip as well. Thanks for the video!
I think when a slotted fastener has the concave bottom it was meant to receive a coin as readily as a screwdriver. Might be worth a test and a mention to see if a pocket coin can provide the torque needed to loosen the blade for changing or repair. Sweet content on a good tool to have in a SHTF scenario! Look forward to the next one.
Absolutely great saws. I have used for many years. Can’t go wrong. Also agree is great for procurement of firewood. Very very sharp, handle with extreme care.
I bought my first Japanese pull saws about 35 years ago. They were smaller, more for carpentry, joinery. Great for flush cutting dowel rods, dovetail joints, etc. I was disappointed at first when hearing about this up grade bushcraft version after buying the original ones and have yet to use them. Then I realized I didn't buy them for out in the middle of nowhere, 100 day alone survival challenge. Just for around home. For Wilderness I have a new solar-powered chainsaw, rocking.
I have an old Japanese pull cut saw I bought about. 40 years ago. I bought it when I was in charge of our Churches Christmas Tree sales. (Maybe at Agway???) We did around 300 trees per year for the 5 years I did it. Plus I used it around home for pruning apple trees, locust trees, etc. That saw today is still sharp and fast as heck, and let the saw do the work! It'll go faster! Last fall we had a storm which felled quite a few trees,-HMMM No Power for 10 days---- and though I did need to tighten the handle, The saw wizzed through 4, 6 and 8 inch trees with ease. (Somehow my arm seems to have changed its stamina since 1980 though--- Go Figure) Taking off branches so we could stack the wood--- Pffft, Easy Peasy. Moral of the Story: Buy a good saw and it will last you a hella long time. I've oiled the handle with Ballistol, and it is tight again as a clams--- you know what. I wish I needed a Silky--- but I can't say I do
It used to be I only had experience with bow saws or frame saws, and always associated sawing wood as being slow and tedious. Then I found a Silky-style saw made by Fiskars and couldn't believe how easy i was to cut through things. When doing stuff around the yard, it's often faster just to grab a hand saw like this rather than have to dig out a powered saw and deal with the extension cord.
guys cutting down trees is important to get wood but what is also important is replanting them. for every tree you cut down plant another two more so forests stay the same
ok, "science wizard" check this. The Earth has never been greener in all of human history thanks to Carbon Dioxide fertilization and life on Earth is only getting better as deserts shrink as well. Thanks to the greening of the Earth, China and India as having agricultural booms.
@@nullentry6032 ok but the plants can't keep up with deforestation. It takes around 30 or 40 years for a tree to grow to sexual maturity. 15 trillion trees are cut down every year as of now. The trees just can't grow to keep up with the amount of deforestion.
@@sciencewizard2861 ummm, listen bub. trees are growing faster than ever before thanks to Carbon Dioxide fertilization. Remember the Brazilian rainforests being cut down for cattle grazing? Oh no! right? Well, everywhere the grazing was halted, the forest very quickly took back the empty space with new growth. Your deforestation claims have no basis in reality and are mostly farmed trees which are replanted. When I was younger I remember my province putting out a good news announcement about our natural resources. They pointed out back in the 90s that trees in Ontario were growing 20-30% faster than ever before. We have tons of logging in Ontario. Nobody has ever said we are going to run out of trees here. They don't even make that claim in British Columbia. Another sign of the greening of the earth is the explosion in forest undergrowth which contributes to out of control forest fires. Of course, the worst place hit are the places that restrict cutting back that undergrowth. Now if you want to talk about other places in the world other than North America, I'm afraid it's pointless to bother with third worlders who cannot think beyond today. By the way, if you want to save trees from third worlders, they need some form of inexpensive hydrocarbon to use instead of wood and charcoal.
Got the Gomboy variant of this line recently, I've been clearing the trails of fresh deadfall with so much ease.. definitely a cornerstone piece of my bugout bag now.
I have silky saw i use for camping. Its the best saw i've ever used. In fact there is no saw or axe that even comes close to how much work my silky can do and not make me tired.
The back side of my Silky Big Boy Pro makes an excellent striker for flint and chert -- throws good sparks. It LOOKS like stainless steel (which would not make a good striker) but apparently it is high carbon steel.
Great saws, I may go buy a couple. FWIW, for cutting metal, it isn't just about the teeth per inch - its also about the tooth shape. The harder material requires a broader chisel angle on each tooth, like a cold chisel vs. a wood chisel.
A saw IMHO is a better thing to keep in your EDC/Get Home/Bug Out bag for a couple of reasons. It's safer to use. Quieter to use. Lighter to carry. Here in Canada it's way less likely you will get a "concealed weapon" charge vs a hatchet or tomahawk in your work bag. If you learn some good techniques you can "split" wood with a saw enough to get the fire started and then you can throw round logs on.
Well, yeah for tools, but get thermal. Even the FLIR Scout will provide excellent detection capabilities. If you can, put a decent ATN or Pulsar scope on a 10/22 (if inexperienced shooter) or on a 5.45 or 5.56 if you can.
The actual #1 item for your bug out bag is a machete. Clears brush, cuts wood, splits wood, kills animals, can cut spears, or be used for self defense. So many uses for a machete, saw has one use.
I dont really like product reviews, but the few products I have bought based on your advice have been mint. My Mira respirator being a prime example. It cost a bunch, but its my respirator needs taken care of for the next two decades.
I have a silky pocketboy. Broken blade tip but still works. I would love to buy one of these new ones in the bigboy varient but the shipping to AUS is just too much. It's the cost of the saw itself!
I wonder if the new blades will interchange onto the old handles? Buying a spare blade(s) with differing TPI for a 2000, etc.would be an attractive option for legacy Silky owners. How about one for a 650?
Canadian Prepper, I bought a Silky Zumbat (spelling on last saw model) based on your recommendation of the brand. I did not think it would e as effective as it is. The saw I bought blew me away. I bought the model with the largest teeth. The saw I bought has a composit handle a 13" blade and comes with a so-so sheath. I opted not to get a folding model as I could see that as another component to break.
Love your videos and especially love your new logo. 😍 As a full time traveler I believe this saw would come in real handy. Looking forward to Canada opening up for travel sometime soon.
Choose what your carry according to your surroundings and situation. Axe and saws are not much of a use in an urban scenario and you'd be far better to carry a hacksaw. A saw is used to cut a wood into small pieces so they could be easily splited by an axe. Comparing them is like comparing apples to oranges. They are different tools with different uses. A saw won't split a log into kindling and an axe won't give you a flat cross section to make it stand. I make videos too 😊🤝🙏
I love it but after years of wanting my own silky saw, I finally got one last month and I’m so happy with it and now ofc they have a newer version that’s better. I got the Big Boy and the obvious question is, can I buy a replacement blade (newer thick outdoor version) and put it on mine? I really can’t buy another one.
Did you ever find out? I've got a Gomboy Outback coming and I was wondering vice versa? ..I was going to get a finer-toothed replacement blade, but it looks like the Outback only has one replacement blade listed? I would assume all Gomboys fit all Gomboys, and it even looks like the BigBoy blade might fit too??, But I would like to know for sure before I blow 50$ on a blade I can't use..
@@rogerwilco1777 I haven’t & I’ve asked in another thread also, apologies I wish I could help but tbh I think it will fit but I don’t doubt that they make them so you can’t interchange them
Thanks Nate , bought my first silky Big Boy on your your website ... I have since bought 4 more throughout the years . I never take my chain saw on my ATV anymore , I always take my Silkys . Love these products , they are simply excellent tools ....
Despite you saying they have thicker blades ... in the Descriptions on the Silky Site , the Outback series has THINNER Blades compared to their older counterparts .... ??? It shows .2 thinner for the outback series !!!!
para los latinos: BAHCO o TRAMONTINA son excelentes sierras plegables para el terreno! si consiguen la Silky es genial, pero estas dos marcas tambien las probe en terreno y van perfectas!
Damn! Just got the original Silky Bigboy, and you show me this! Gives me reason to try to see if I can use it to death so I can get it. Just give me a few years!
With all due respect you dont need a silky saw or any brand of saw to enjoy the outdoors. 80$ could be used to buy a good ax that is probably never going to brake. And if thru some miracle the handle does brake then it would be quite easy to replace it. If we are talking long term survival the less complex your tools are, the easier to repair they are going to be.
These look great! Serious question for you sir as the expert. Are these the optimum size teeth for gathering firewood? I love the features but keep hearing that medium teeth are best for dry wood.
there are comparison vids online Cuts at the same speed (in some vids its faster). + The boreal is easier on the wrist because of the holding angle. + can be resharpened unlike silky saws(dont trust this guy silky saws also wear out over time) + cheaper replacement blades + options for dry, greenwood, bone or even metal blades + blade cant really break. - It cant easily get into thight spots. - it has less reach if you want to cut something further away from you Do you want to take it backpacking? Then maybe check out the knifepointgear saw.
Nice, I was looking for a smaller option for my GHB. I currently have the Katanaboy and it's a bit too big for that purpose. One hell of a saw though 👍👍 It stays in my truck always, and has helped me get out of quite a few predicaments.
One saw to rule them all. Everything I bought before silky was a waste of my money. Hands down the best saw on the market.
Definitely, amazing saws.
rexebeti gave me a decent saw - cut myself on the side of the saw. didnt even touch the tip of the teeth, thats sharp.
Bahco has always done well for me. Ridiculous value for the money really. Won't cut as fast as a silky though.
@@christopherrowley7506 nothing beats silky, unless you wanna get something inexpensive.

Just picked up the Big Boy Outback Edition saw and love it, also have an older Pocket Boy that served me well over the years! Great video! 👍
Looked like an Ocarina in the thumbnail. Thought you were about summon a storm or something
That's great lol nostalgia

Hi from Canada (N.-B.), i got one (classic orange) and YES there are very good 11/10 in my Book, nice video friend , have a nice day & be safe
I 3D printed a handle to let me use reciprocating saw blades. Might not be Silky quality, but it's ultralight, and a pack of Dewalt blades is cheap.

A knife,, It can actually be used for more uses then most can conceive, & lock pick kit,, A good knife & can have a saw on the back....
Nice! Love the new look but I’ll be needing some orange paracord or paint to keep an eye on it
Good video. I have a Silky F-1180 in my BOB and keep a Sily NATA in my truck. Like you said, a saw is a must have.
Now I'm torn. I could use an arborist saw more at present for trimming trees on my property, but if SHTF the camping saw would make more sense.
Pocket chain saw is pretty good too
Pre-ordered a Gomboy.
I wonder if the new blades will interchange onto the old handles? Buying a spare blade(s) with differing TPI for a 2000, etc.would be an attractive option for legacy Silky owners. How about one for a 650?

Choose what your carry according to your surroundings and situation. Axe and saws are not much of a use in an urban scenario and you'd be far better to carry a hacksaw.
A saw is used to cut a wood into small pieces so they could be easily splited by an axe. Comparing them is like comparing apples to oranges. They are different tools with different uses. A saw won't split a log into kindling and an axe won't give you a flat cross section to make it stand.

Thank you so much for this information!
I hope they will be available here in europe soon.

I'm a certified pruner of fruit trees and ornamentals. Used the pocket got today, that one is my fave.
It’s funny how bug out bags evolve over time. I would carry a saw or axe ever anymore.
Looks great! Take care CP.
Damn! Just got the original Silky Bigboy, and you show me this! Gives me reason to try to see if I can use it to death so I can get it. Just give me a few years!
I like the lap lander saw cause it does not break. Better metal.
Why are you not making any videos about what's going on up there right now?
Totally agree! Love my silky
I figured a screwdriver, multiple uses, but I'm still in a darned city! TY!!
I find a multi-purpose hand saw works just fine. Little bigger to pack but pretty hard to break.
Just put in my order. Can’t wait.
With all due respect you dont need a silky saw or any brand of saw to enjoy the outdoors. 80$ could be used to buy a good ax that is probably never going to brake. And if thru some miracle the handle does brake then it would be quite easy to replace it. If we are talking long term survival the less complex your tools are, the easier to repair they are going to be.
for long term survival, bow saws are must have. silky wont replace that (unless they make bow saw version , then I'll buy three :P) , dont worry.
These look great! Serious question for you sir as the expert. Are these the optimum size teeth for gathering firewood? I love the features but keep hearing that medium teeth are best for dry wood.
Go xl or large teeth. Smaller teeth are multipurpose and are better for game processing and fine cutting
Lots of great information thank you
Silky is worth it I have two for use in my Garden
Thanks a LOT for the detailed video! What shirt are you wearing in this one? The camo looks AWESOME!
I accidentally sawed through half of my pointer finger with a silkey saw,very sharp indeed
Dummy
Thoughts on the Boreal21 folding bow saw?!
there are comparison vids online
Cuts at the same speed (in some vids its faster).
+ The boreal is easier on the wrist because of the holding angle.
+ can be resharpened unlike silky saws(dont trust this guy silky saws also wear out over time)
+ cheaper replacement blades
+ options for dry, greenwood, bone or even metal blades
+ blade cant really break.
- It cant easily get into thight spots.
- it has less reach if you want to cut something further away from you
Do you want to take it backpacking? Then maybe check out the knifepointgear saw.
@@martinerhard8447 Appreciate it!
The silky Sugowaza 420 😉
Spray the handle with helmsman polyurethane to seal it. Add silica sand to wet finish for grip
I’m happy I got my silky zubat in my bugout bag that I bought off you.
Nice, I was looking for a smaller option for my GHB. I currently have the Katanaboy and it's a bit too big for that purpose. One hell of a saw though 👍👍 It stays in my truck always, and has helped me get out of quite a few predicaments.
I think i saw corparals corner using the small one of these.
I need to get me some. Thank you for the vids!! Keep up the good work!!
Thank You.
Love my Silky Bigboy 2000 with XL teeth, will definitely check out the outback version of the Bigboy! Thanks for the great vid!
