Silky, any silky you can afford and carry

[Weatherby Fan]

I’ve used a Wyoming Saw 2 for over 30 years, compact and comes with a wood blade and bone blade, the wood blade has cleared many trees across roads for me over the years.

Just got a silky this year. Amazing tool. Lee Valley has a knock off that I would have gotten had I seen it before I bought the silky. Price is right.

[Squamch]

I'm also a silky fan.

[Tripitaka]

+1 on Silky, if it matters by now.. :-)

Which silky is best for bone and wood? Is there a light weight model for backpacking?

I recently bought one of these Coghlans folding saws at princess auto for about $14 on sale. Used it for a bon fire a few days ago and was amazed at how well it worked sawing through several logs, 5-10 inches in diameter. The teeth chewed through both hard and softwood fallen trees that I dug out of the snow. I just rotated the thicker trees to saw through. Quick work.

Small, lightweight and works well. Best bang for your buck!

i still remember grand pa teaching my younger brother and i to use the bow saw as a team....We were no more than 6 and 7 years old....

I can still hear his voice saying "just pull..don't push"....and " pull sooner or your fingers will get squished" .. i can still picture my 4 year old other brother sitting on the log that was perched on the saw horses we used for cutting up the logs...

used a lot of bow saws over the years....there is something nice about the sound of a bow saw as it cuts through the log...quieter than the ole chainsaw too heheheh

[Walksalot]

A saw which has a frame is very good but the size of the frame limits the diameter of wood you can saw. A folding blade saw with a 12 inch blade is, in my opinion, a better choice.

I guess I will 3rd or 4th this vote. Have had my wyoming saw II since I was 15, 20 years later it has yet to let me down. Has come in handy for a multitude of situations, when your done take it all apart and into the nice case and into the pack. I will cry when it breaks.

Silky hands down.

[fishhunt]

I have a Corona RS 7265 razor tooth folding (10" blade). Cuts like a dream.

[WWBC]

Silky

I have a couple of the “pocket boy”’s

I used to use one when framing all the time because it was faster than looking for a saw for a quick cut.
Mostly I’ve used the finer tooth blade versions.
their super compact also

I have one of these and I love it, weight and size are awesome. Also, love that it is Canadian designed and made by a small company. I also +1 Silky Saws. I use a Katana Boy and other various Silky hand and pole saws at work.
