I called Silky and asked the purpose of a curved saw VS,. a straight saw. These saws are primarily used for pruning. The curved saws are for use over your head or above the waist. The straight saws are for use from the chest down. Straight saws are more appropriate for construction,, fitting joints and such. Hope this helps anyone in selecting a saw. Cheers!
I've got two silky saws, one i mounted on an extension pole and I've about done trimming high branches around my place, even sent one to my brother as a gift. Fantastic saws!
They will be. The knowledge even more so. I don't trust Japan tools though especially " hardened " saw blades Especially backwards hardened blade saws.

I have Silky Saws in all my go bags as well as my tool kits for side by side and snow machines. I’ve used them for years and will stand by them, tried and true here in Alaska!
I agree with you on using a saw over an axe, where I live in the world, it's all hardwood so a saw is more efficient than an axe, and another skill that you should visit is a how to, sharpen knives and axes. Keep calm and carry on prepping 👍🇦🇺
I used the pocketboy I got off you last week and it cuts fast as lightning. I haven’t used my zubat yet but I’m sure it’s just as quiet and quick as the pocket boy. Thanks Nate.
My kukri/gomboy/pocketboy combo is my go to when packing light..can keep the pocket and the kukri on my tool belt quick to grab!!otherwise i also bring a medium axe(custom 25" handle with a custom 2.5lb head) and my billhook(the bill is for brush and finer cutting while the kukri is a thickass chopper)
I’m a arborist and my silky has been sharp for 4yrs and still going. Use it everyday only time it got dull was when I hit a nail. I was able to sharpen that blade but it was not the same so got a new one. Also cut fresh pine or any tree with lots of sap you can get build up on the side of the blade. This will cause it to bind when cutting and you can bend or brake the blade. So clean the pine pitch off.
Love the content Nate. I watch it as soon as it comes out and a second time later in the day in case I missed anything. Keep it up buddy! We need to stay informed.
@@MacTheKnife I’ve never understood why if someone doesn’t like a UA-camr’s content, they sweat their nuts all day in the comments when a video launches. Why is that?
Silky Outback ....cuts through hardwood like butter. Good to get an Agawa Boreal 21" too....not only for wood, they have a meat saw blade. Plus, any 21" bow saw blade will fit, cheap and available
What you call Scragg is kindling used to help start fires. You can also use newspaper but small branches and pines needles work great in the wild. Hello
Silky 240 and Tops Kuma Cage are the only two tools you’ll need for anything in the woods! (Of course a fixed blade for smaller things and a shovel if you need to dig large areas)
Also I think you can do a hybrid method, chop around the tree and then use the saw to cut the center..I think that would be the most efficient. That way the axe doesn't have to cut that wide, and save energy. I'm talking about tree too large for a silky to cross cut..
Love the big boy outback saw. I bought it before the video ended. I've wanted a great saw for awhile. I still have a few big limbs I need to cut into firewood. I don't use chainsaws. I let my husband take care of that but he's gone for 6 months out if the year, so I've wanted a really great saw.
Or course nothing beats a gas or electric powered saw and a large splitting axe. I've actually ran my Sawzall and miter saws to process wood easily with my solar system, as well as to cut my lawn, all using 1500 watt inverter Samlex pst, and 3000 watt solar system with 10 100 amp hour lipo battery bank.
I went with a Silky saw, a draw knife, and a splitting axe. I have a smaller folding saw, but it's more for taking apart an animal carcass. Came with additional blades for those uses. I'm digging the Japanese hatchet though.
I would still have a felling axe for chopping that tree down. Trees under 4 inch ok with large bowie or similar style blade under 2 lbs..and over 1 lb. Going larger, I feel that long blades spread the force over too long a length and doesn't bite as deep as an axe..especially dry woods. The 3.5 lb felling axe can do double duty as splitting axe for rounds under 12 inches. Then bust out the saw to cut flat cuts for rounds to use as splitting platform, or chairs. Age those rounds for a few months, then split those rounds when dry. As the rounds dry, they have shrinkage cracks and those aid in splitting.
I am in the market for a new folding saw. I don't have a saw to replace my axe, or vice versa. They are two different tools used for different things, with some overlap. Chopping is not the primary use of my axe, It is for ripping/splitting, and carving/shaping. I can make a tent stake in 5 mins with my Mora, or I can make it in 30 seconds with a boys axe/hatchet My go too machete around the home is a flat tipped machete, The main advantage of it being that it does not require the space behind what your hacking, The working edge goes all the way to the end, as opposed to the billhook, that requires space behind your strike
Definately prefer an axe and it has an advantage using to poll for driving nails and pegs. The Larger Silky saws are excellent efficient pieces of gear. They can make shelters easily and process firewood. For a small saw the Bacho Laplander isnt as fast for sawing but it an far more durable blade steel and isnt easily broken. So axe, large Silky saw, and Bacho Laplander and you have some real tools.
Hey Canadian Prepper, have tou ever checked out the cold steel spetznaz shovel? I swear by that shovel and the silky saw for my bush kit. It functions as a knife, hatchet , can exchange the handle with a bush made one on the fly and is built like a tank. Cheers 🍻
I'm all in on the kit but gotta get back to work even though I've managed to mess up a hand not even sure how. 😢 lol but I've come back from worse n I just gotta finish getting ready . Get ready slow road but steady😊
My wife and I hiked the Rockies for years bringing a hatchet. Then one hike I took a sierra saw half the wait and half the work. Never carried a hatchet against.
I cannot find the kit anywhere. I tried to find the bug out roll mod? But not sure which one fits the tools, the one I did find is sold out. If I saw an actual kit, I'm ready to buy.
I bought a small folding Silky and the Sugoi, and also the Nata. Had I known then these outdoor versions were coming out I would have waited 😫 I'll have to settle with what I have now.
@CanadianPrepper missed opportunity they could have sharpened the other side and made some time of machete on the other side but would need some way to cover it
The donkey is actually better the Tesla especially in cold weather the thing will work with very small breaks in between but once that car dies she needs to charge
agawa folding buck is far more appropriate. Living in a small town in BC silky blades are damn near impossible to get ahold of without ordering online if shtf you'll never get a replacement. Atleast the agawas blades can be replaced with your standard buck saw blades. that alone makes this kit useless for shtf. the nata well debatable never used one but wouldn't buy one so can't say much it does nothing a good knife couldn't do by the looks of it.
It takes knowledge and experience to utilize an axe safely. Even after going through initial training in boy scouts I still managed to cut myself in a significant way. Silky saws can do most, if not all, the work an axe can. Lately I've noticed silky saws used on manufactured lumber quite effectively. Talk about versatility.
My oh my have the prices of those saws gone up💸💰good thing I picked up my Katanaboy 500 a few years ago! Still running great no issues and still sharp. The prices on these things are just going to keep getting more expensive the longer you put it off.
A chopper that not good a splitting wood? I take one big saw a Skrama and a Bark river kelpheart thats it even a mora, this has two many saws. thanks for the post
Truthfully, I would much rather have my Schrade Froe than the NATA. Can do what the Nata does, but can baton with it. After I modded the handle much more comfortable, I also duracoated the blade. About 30% of the cost of the NATA. However, the NATA DOES have a far better sheath, but a Kershaw Camp 10 out of the box is better than the NATA. I would think the plastic handles on the original silky saws would be much more durable than wood on the outdoor models, to be honest. I like my silky Zubat!
Other than picking up sticks, no wood gathering technique is "stealthy". Sawing reverberates, chopping echos, and snapping carries. Though if you're building a fire, you usually aren't trying to be stealthy, heh. Nice set though. Bit pricey, but looks very well made. You get what you pay for.
Btw those arent bucksawe your showing they are bandsawa or frame saws To be hones you want a saw that goes dull after a few trees because its quick to sharpen with out removing more material. Tooth count isnt just about hardness of material being cut its about wast material removal. And speed of cut. There is a reason that old lumberjacks had the tooth patterns they used. Personally i dislike pull saws i know youtube loves them but for all day heavy use push saws are my bag And yes i use saws daily from framing to cabinet and countertop and furniture making
As far as the machete goes I love machetes but in full length size short ones are nice enough for small things. But given that my " camp axe" is a Vaughn 28oz rigger's axe there is no need for a small machete or at least it frees up for a proper knife of that size ( draw knife or kitchen ) and sharpening kit ( mine is diamond stones and diamond jewelry files ) which lets the blades be kept sharp enough. It also lets me keep my chisels sharp as well as any carbide tool I process

Good Evening 🌇 Nate. I Hope 🤞 That You Are Having A Wonderful Day Today Nate. I Gave Your UA-cam Video A Huge Thumbs Up 👍 Ok Nate.
See the views? Nobody cares 😀👍
I have 5 different Silky products. Great stuff.
Kudos and thank you.

Hand tools will be worth their weight in gold in a long-term grid down situation, in civilization or in the wilderness. Cool kit, Nate.

I miss these videos, i was wondering about the silky saw quality looks like a pretty solid kit thanks again Nate stay safe out there 👍 ✌️
That's a really good point between a axe and saw! Good demonstration to see in action. I would not do well with a axe so thanks for that!

I like the folding saw. I love axes, but with my breathing issues, sawing is easier for me.
For chopping I use a Kukri the end has more weight to it than a straight blade & Can get some deep chops.

Just in time for my holiday wish list!
Love the kit. That being said I went to website and did not see the entire kit.
Ive used my nada to flip my burgers on the grill and it will cut paper thin slices of tomatoes!! Amazing tool!!
I have a nata and a small silky due to your previous recommendations, but now I want a big one.
I have 4 Silky tools, they all work great and are built for life.
I bought an Outback pocketboy, from your store. Yet to use it. Its built great and very sharp.
That's an amazing kit Nate
Never thought of the sound of an ax and it signaling you're around. Great point CP! :)
Yeah I'm going to stick with my long medium and hatchet style axes I can replace the handles if they break I can sharpen them as many times as I need
I want the whole set! How much?
Thank you for this presentation! 🙂
Fantastic kit would love to have it but already have a similar outfit that works well.
Queensland Australia
I like those, hope their available as a set.
Great Christmas gifts too!
Does it come with the sheath?
The Nata? Yes.
Now I just gotta learn where to organize different wood resources so it looks nice and in nice and dry when needed.
Do u have this combo pack in a ready to buy format in a complete package?
I needed another gift for my boyfriend! Thank you Nate!!! ❤️🇺🇸🇨🇦 that looks like a great gift that is practical!
Ordered the big boy saw Saturday. Looking forward to getting to know it.

Hi Nate
Great review its good to see you doing a gear review like the old days
Take care brother
Stay safe
I'm all in on the kit but gotta get back to work even though I've managed to mess up a hand not even sure how. 😢 lol but I've come back from worse n I just gotta finish getting ready . Get ready slow road but steady😊
Mine is on order.
Good prices! I looked them up on Amazon and your prices are way better. Ordered the big boy 2000 pro with extra blade. Thanks Nate!
My wife and I hiked the Rockies for years bringing a hatchet. Then one hike I took a sierra saw half the wait and half the work. Never carried a hatchet against.
Always have backup buy 3 of everything, 1 is 0 , 2 is 1 , 3 is 2 , and its better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it
Happy Monday
Tools look awesome as always. Ever considered a battery chainsaw? A lot quieter than gas and sustainable if you have solar
Nice! Those are very compact and slick!
I got my big boy. Thank you very much for informing me about them 🙏
I've cleared acres of cedar with just my silkys which I purchased through Nate... great guy and store! Love those beefed up black versions.
I cannot find the kit anywhere. I tried to find the bug out roll mod? But not sure which one fits the tools, the one I did find is sold out. If I saw an actual kit, I'm ready to buy.
Does it come in a bundle or do you have to buy each piece separately?
I bought a small folding Silky and the Sugoi, and also the Nata. Had I known then these outdoor versions were coming out I would have waited 😫 I'll have to settle with what I have now.
If i buy all these survival stuff i will be in survival mode with my bank account.
I'm kinda happy with my Gerber Gator Jr. Saw-Machete combo. Besides the Gerber Combo II hatchet-saw. Purchased a few years back. 🤔😊😏
Buy both if you need it
@CanadianPrepper missed opportunity they could have sharpened the other side and made some time of machete on the other side but would need some way to cover it
Always keep my poket boy in my edc bag. Great saws.
LOVE THE NEW INTRO !!! Keep it up brother. WE WILL SURVIVE. 🎉❤❤🎉😊
Awesome 😎👍👍👍👍👍
Hey Nate, what is the sharp edge degree angle?
Is it affordable I didn't see it on your site
Yes they are
Link in description section and comment section. Not quite affordable to me but the prices are about the same as other good quality similar items.
I own a Machete with saw blade on top.
Thanks Nate, I'll get a folding saw next.
I do tree service in Michigan and I’ll tell you hands-down silky is the best when it comes to Pole saws

Nice set though. Bit pricey, but looks very well made. You get what you pay for.
A hatchet/axe can do absolutely everything from cutting down trees to clearing off scrag.
Just got my first silky and recently upgraded my axe
I wish they would make a folding saw that can be re sharpened like the old woodwork saws
Hundred dollars plus tax for a tree saw you can buy these at Ace hardware for 29 139 for a wow that's an expensive machete 30.00 all day long
You had it for 13 or 14 what? Years? Months or days?
NICE!
Never used a handsaw to harvest a tree but looks like it works fine.
Those blades are incredibly sharp, cuts like butter.
Do they work good on a carcass? Asking for a friend...
