What is the best bushcraft saw? Is there even such thing as the best bushcraft saw? This video tries to narrow the field by comparing the silky sugowaza and the silky zubat. Both saws are good saws, but one is better in my opinion for bushcraft. Which one you ask? Watch the damn video!
Peace, Dave

Like how even handed with your presentation allowing that there are other situations where one may hold out as more useful in differing applications. Well done.

@TheDaveDryden Жыл бұрын

Thank you I try to be honest and fair. My experience in the woods shows me that different situations can change "the best" tool ✌️

We don’t have that many natural hard woods out on the “Wet Coast” might be interesting to see outcomes between some Silky saws rating performance between soft and hardwoods.

@@TheDaveDrydenI find Arbutus is good as skewers for large steaks over a fire as they do not easily burn right off.

Sugowaza's blade is serviceable while the Zubat is not due to special hardening treatment. Sugowaza is more of a specialist that would replace a chainsaw situation. Fair to say that Zubat is better than Sugozawa for bushcraft. And you are absolutely right about breaking the saw blade. Proper technique will never break the blade. Many reviewers who are probably being sponsored by Bahco trying to promote their poor quality saw to be better than Zubat or Gomboy is just shameful.

I think I've had the zubat about 4+ years and I'm about ready to change the blade on it, or just buy I new one. I used it quite heavily if you sift through my videos you'll see it everywhere. I like it that much that I have no problem re-purchasing it when the time comes!

For larger cutting jobs I tend to prefer the Agawa Canyon Boreal 21. Lightweight, packable, yet still robust enough for all my needs. Cuts well with very little effort. For a really compact take along, I use a Bahco Laplander for lighter stuff.

The Sugowaza is designed for linework rather than bushcraft, which may explain the guards. Silky makes another saw, the Sugoi 420, which is the same length as the Sugowaza but lacks the guards and has variable-sized teeth, presumably to reduce snagging at the beginning of the pull stroke. It may be better for bushcraft (I use it for mountain bike trail work). The scabbard also lacks the leather snap piece that Dave finds annoying.

it has a hook slightly sharpen to prevent us from overpulling and get rid of the cut down branch

I am happy with my Tajima G-Saw with the black powerblade. Before I had a silky f180. First it was awesame, but get dull pretty fast, especially after sawing some fatwood. I was not amused. After some research I found the Tajima G-Saw and purchased the black coated powerblade. It saws through wood like a champ and many people don't know about this saw. I would recommand it. I would take a tajima over a silky.

@daveburklund2295 3 ай бұрын

I usually carry an Agawa Canyon Boreal. I like bow saws. I like how I can switch out for dead wood or green wood very easily.

@TheDaveDryden 3 ай бұрын

definitely a worthy choice too!

@jelkel25 Жыл бұрын

Im happy with my Bahco Laplander. It's light, fairly compact and fits in my small rucksack, reliable tough blade and pretty inexpensive. If I have a bigger task than it can handle I bring a takedown bow saw. Best of all, every time more people do a video on Silky saws the price of Bahco Laplanders drop😂😂😂. Maybe you could do a follow up on this video??😅

For a "Fixed" blade, I use just a common bow saw with premium blades. For a packable folding saw, I prefer the Corona Razor Tooth in 10 inch to the Silky or Bahco for the price as well as performance.

What about a large folding Silky saw like the BigBoy? How does it compare to the Zubat 330? What Zubat blade do you have (size of teeth)? Looks like the Arborist.

@TheDaveDryden Жыл бұрын

The Zubat is a better saw than the big boy because of the ergonomic handle and size of it when it is open. The blades are basically the same length, obviously the big boy is more packable though. I have the large teeth on the Zubat. The sugowaza has extra large teeth. ✌️

Zubat is not better than SugoWaza Saw they are different the Sogowaza saw is a tree lineman saw and you're not meant to use the belt loop you're supposed to strap it to your leg while you climb in trees as an arborist or tree trimmer.

@turtlewolfpack6061 Жыл бұрын

Neither is a bushcraft saw. Bushcraft is about living comfortably in the woods with a minimum of tools and being able to craft what you need from the environment. Finer teeth make crafting much easier, but the big Silky saws rock at cutting firewood.

@@TheDaveDryden one thing I have also noticed on my local wood types (pine, spruce, planted Manitoba maple, Aspen, willow, etc.) is that a finer rooth saw like a medium cuts faster than a larger tooth saw.
