Fair enough this test wasn’t the best as far as controlled but the Silky still seemed to be the better of the two saws. I will try it again with better technique and let you know how it goes.

@@highbchunting The Silky cuts on the pull stroke only, whereas the Boreal 21 (same as any bow saw) cuts on both strokes. The Silky still might be a little faster, but they are both good saws and have their pros and cons depending what you are using them for.

@@HinterlandOutdoors I completely agree that they are both great saws! Perfect to have in your pack on quad trips or to keep in your truck for small to med blow down

Gotta let that silky do the work for ya. You’re putting way too much power into both those saws.

@@scottr564 I was pushing for speed but it kind of works against a guy. Steady full strokes with braced wood would have been a better test! Thanks for watching and dropping a comment!
