also consider the corona is $10 less than the silky, can be found at any Lowes and performs just as good if the stroke count is correct, 1 stroke difference isn't a big difference

It's probably already been mentioned, but the Bahco can be used to saw through Bone, and it will NOT ruin the blade. The Bahco sacrifices cutting efficiency on woody materials for the durability to cut through thick bones on game animals if the need arises. Or, God Forbid, your own bones...

As a woodsman, survivalist, bushcrafter of over20 years IV used every saw you showed. All have their place but in my opinion silky is awesome! I have the big boy, the gomboy, and the pocket boy curve. My favorite is the pocket boy curve for most things with the gomboy as my second fav.

@hawkknight4564 3 жыл бұрын

I’ve owned every single one of those saws. I owned two of the bahcos. And now all I own are silkys. Nothing works better. Nothing is more reliable. And nothing is more sturdy. Plus the door locking position for different blade cutting angles is phenomenal. And depending on the model they offer 4 to 8 different aggressive teeth sizes. Superfine wood crafting to I just need to stack firewood. More variety and versatility for not that much money and field expedient blade swapping. Don’t waste your money on anything else unless you only have $12 to spend on a saw. And with silky you can get from a 5 inch to a 45 inch blade. One for your pocket, one for your pack and one for your snowmobile, four wheeler or truck. Best on the market.

I myself own a Silky Pro BIGBOY 360mm for when I need to process a lot of wood and I own a Bahco Laplander as a basic survival saw. The Bahco can be used to saw through bone plus it is a push/pull saw which reduces the likelyhood that you will break it. Silky saws are great but they tend to snap if you use them incorrectly. Whereas a Bahco just bends, and can be bent back into shape with a pair of pliers. I've never seen anybody snap a Bahco.

I did tree work as a climber for a master arborist and then on my own for a small group of clients. Silky is my choice. I have a lot of "miles" on original blades on my Ibuki, Katanaboy, and Hayauchi pole saw. They weren't cheap at the outset, but over the years without ever having to be resharpened they've proven to be a bargain. They have impulse hardened teeth with the rest being so flexible they are almost impossible to damage even if things go awry and they get twisted. I'd also add that the Katanaboy in a lot of cases does the job of a climb saw (chainsaw), even on oak. I love my silkys. Pay the extra, and get a great saw that will outlast and out perform the others. Besides testing the cutting ability and locking mechanisms, it would have been good to bury the saw in the wood and jack it sideways to see how the cheaper ones snap or get bent. Accidents happen.

Well, for the money I have to think that the Corona is probably the best buy, for efficiency in cutting for the cost, It definitely seemed to throw bigger chips when you were cutting. The Gomboy is a sweet saw, but I guess you get what you paid for. Good work Brian, keep 'em coming.

I have the Corona and like it. The Bahco seems to be the KZfaq third place saw in terms of performance but for pure aesthetics and subjective reasons people prefer it over the corona. The other saw that I believe is neck and neck with the Corona is the Silky. I have a Silky Ultra Accel and the only reason I purchased it in addition to the Corona is due to construction. The Silky has a metal frame and is more durable. This is especially true in freezing below 10 degrees where the plastic Corona handle will become brittle and break when dropped or under heavy force.

I’ve got two of them. Bahco is my personal favorite right now. My Fiskers is relegated to the shed for yard work. Not bad. Not great. The corona is my next one to try out. It was indistinguishable from the silky in this test. Frankly, the silky has a reputation for being brittle. The risk of a broken blade means more to me than the chance I might spend another .2 seconds on a cut. The Colman is are hard pass for me. That latch is clever but poorly implemented. Good presentation by the way. I appreciate your efforts for an objective comparison but let’s be honest, there’s a lot of subjectivity in our selection process.

I have to tip my hat to you. I really like it. But I also like my Wicked Tough Saw, and also my new Agawam Canyon 21 Boreal Saw, I got the Crazy Horse Scabbard for it too with a aggressive blade that I can store in the scabbard. I guess I like Saws too, because I also have a Bacho Laplander and a 10" Curved Corona. Oh, and my Silky Bigboy2000 with Sheath and my Wooden Handle Fiskar Folding Saw. I also got a Sheath for it too. I like to carry at least a saw along with my knife and my canteen. I practice with certain carries and I know adding a Folding Saw on your survival belt isn't too much weight. But a wonderful tool to have on you if you somehow get separated from your pack or camp.

I tried and used so many Bahco tools and I can tell you they make top quality professional grade tools. If you use them in the right way they last forever. If you are in US you can compare Bahco with the quality of the old Craftman tools. If you are in the middle of the woods speed is not a priority, you are looking for a saw dont going to bend or let you down. For be familiar with the brand, quality, weight and size im going for the Bahco hands down. If you go for a long cut project like a long term shelter go for a bow saw.

@caliathleticfitness5602 8 жыл бұрын

its not about the silky being faster its about it being so much easier and effortless compared to the laplander and that my friend is very important in the woods. you don't wanna burn 50 calories while cutting wood when you can burn 5. by the way the when you are using the right teqnique on the silky it is very unlikely that you break it in fact when using the right teqnique in both the saws you are more likely to break the laplander because if you make a wrong move the silky will just bend while the brittle blade of the laplander would break

I don't know if I'd use a dollar store tool. Health is more important than saving $11 mainly because it is made in China and likely has the warning 65 on it because it is toxic.

Good review. I had a Coleman just like that one 10 years ago and it didn't perform nearly as well as what I saw you get out of it. I have used a Corona ever since. I have always been tempted to try a Silky, but I'm too cheap. You saved me some money possibly.

Bryan if I have learned anything about folding saws from this channel. .. the first rule is to have one, any one. I learned that on my first fatwood search and find. Hope you had a Merry Christmas and that Gerber package opener aced it for you. Happy New Year!

@charleslarson3152 9 жыл бұрын

I have the Coleman and it cuts well enough but you are right about the problem with the locking unit. One has to be careful not to twist it to either side. However, once it is locked up, the saw works great.

@SurvivalOnPurpose 9 жыл бұрын

Charles Larson Yes, it does. Any of these will do a pretty good job.

@jakesshopandtracktalk1835 9 жыл бұрын

Charles Larson I dunno Charles, I got the Coughlan's of that design and on a recent campout whilst whoopin' it super hard it flat unlocked a couple times on me. I mean what we were doing was cutting some super super hard wood, I haven't replaced it because it works pretty good most of the time. But that Corona Saw is available yonder at Lowe's with a military discount. Sorry for this mega late reply.

@charleslarson3152 9 жыл бұрын

Jake Riethmeier Indeed while I have the Coleman and it does cut very well. the locking mechanism is it's weak point........but it has worked for me so far with out any problems. Are there better folders out there? Yep.

@swnorcraft7971 Жыл бұрын

I have used Silky folding saws for a number of years. I, too, wish they had blade retention in the closed position. I just keep a ranger band on the saw when it is closed........

@Labyrnthdom Жыл бұрын

Another thing to consider with these saws is... if they generate a spark with chert or flint. To make it dual purpose. FYI. The Corona will make sparks with chert.

As far as trimming or sawing my vote is on the curved blade... Because if your 25 ft above the ground in a tree you don't have to position yourself 22 undercut and get the job done safely

We have tried the silky vs the Bahco on fat rood. The silky plugged up and stopped cutting, where the Bahco kept on keepin on! I have both the green handle and the bright orange handle Bahco. I have heard rumors they both have different blades. Do you have any insight into this? Bahco is push/pull teeth and Silky is only pull which in my book is effort waster and the Silky blade is thinner. I have heard of Silkys breaking where not so with Bahco. Both are gr8 saws.
