Silky - 717-24 GomBoy Curve Professional Folding Saw 240mm, Large Teeth Yellow

I use this to cut trees for mountain bike trails. This knife is super sharp and sturdy. The blade is thicker than other brands and doesn’t bend like other brands. I love it. I also like the plastic carrying case it comes with. Makes it easy to toss in my bag when on the trails. I bought a different brand knife before this for half the price, but the blade bent and broke after a few days. I am nope sold on these silky knives. They cost more money, but it’s well worth it.

Using one arm to saw and one arm to brace a 4.25” log, this saw cut it in 1:30 minutes, same log took 3:50 with my Sven saw. It’s also lighter than the Sven by 30 grams (over 1 ounce; 270gm vs 300gm.)Problem with Sven saw is that when you get deep into the log, the side of log opposite the cutting teeth hits the saw bracing.The gomboy case (130gm) is too heavy to take on a human powered outing, however. The Sven saw is nicely contained within the handle, but the time cutting is nearly half so, lighter and faster is better. Plus you can’t attempt to cut thicker logs with Sven due to saw brace.*also Gomboy can be used as a snowsaw in this size for avy forecast, Sven saw cannot.Used this saw while climbing the trunk of a tree, the extra length of the 240 allows for branch cutting 3-4’ above your head depending on your arm length and the curved blade really helps when your one arming above your head with the other around the trunk as you balance on top of your ladder or steps. Small branches under one inch may be cut with one pull of the saw if the branch is within range of your reach to allow the hilt to contact the branch. This is an outstanding saw. I regret not purchasing earlier due to already owning that other saw in my picture.Time saved from cutting equals a lot depending on what your doing. It could be the difference between spooking a deer, money, time with family, getting a fire going before it rains, etc.

Perfection edition to your pack or trunk. Folds and stores nicely. Cuts exceptionally well and smooth. Cleans easily and stores small and compact. Light and rugged for heavy use.

There are many less expensive options out there and I've owned a few of them. Decided to try this and compare it head to head and it cuts so much faster. I haven't used it enough to know if it lasts a lot longer but initial feel is that these saws are so worth the extra money over the cheaper versions. I love it.

I have a few of these in different sizes. Bought my first one about 5 years ago and I seem to add a new size every other year. One I leave in the ATV, one for around the house, another in a backpack I use when in the woods, etc. Great products, super sharp, compact and functional. The one from 5 years ago is still ultra sharp. I've used a bunch of similar ones over the past, say 20 years and these have been the best I could find...by a large margin. They zip through limbs and saplings up to 6 inches in diameter. I think I've even taken a 8 inch tree down with one. Still a lot of work, but goes far faster than you might expect.

Bought this saw for packing into the BWCA and it was the perfect comprise between have a long enough cutting stoke and being small enough to pack into my portage/hiking pack. Sharp and makes quick work of processing firewood at camp. It’s an easy grab when I’m working in the yard too.

I purchased this to replace a Bahco 396LAP Laplander Folding Saw that was getting a little dull and frankly only worked ok to begin with. I wanted something with a slightly larger blade that folded and would be a good compromise of size and weight as I would be putting this in a backpack. I primarily use the saw for hunting to trim limbs on tree stands and cut limbs on the trails I use while hunting on our ranch. I also used it a little around the yard and all I can say is wow! Huge quality difference that results in a saw that cuts faster with less effort . Great small/medium folding saw>

Cuts wood well. Less effort with this saw vs the Big Boy with XL teeth. I find that the big boy has me getting tired quicker than the gomboy curve. This saw is heavy. You're going to have a weight penalty pretty significantly with this saw. If you are conscience of grams, just get the pocket boy which is 4+oz and be done with it. If you are a four season backpacker this is the one of the best saws to buy. Don't be followed because you're a 'big boy' that you need the silky big boy, trust me, you want this one instead.not related to the saw...Mine arrived used and smelling like butt. :(
