I finally have a rudimentary kit together and am tryin to get into bushcraft myself. I started out with a mora garberg and the exact same silky saw and after just my first night out I’m glad I did. Between me an one buddy we dismantled an entire downed (dryish) hardwood tree, at least everything the saw was big enough to cut, and without too much sweat, complaining, or hassle. Had a great pile of firewood and less miserable buddies who begrudgingly agreed to go “real camping”

Thank you for this video! What your channel makes very special for me (albeit your elaborate and clear English - I'm Austrian :-)): Amidst hundreds of videos to bushcraft themes, in your ones I can find additional hints for the usage of tools, I never thought of. In this case, it was making tinder with the saw, using it as a striker for the ferrocerium rod, and using it as a fire steel. As a feedback: I eventually (tried others before) use a Japanese saw, made by "Tajima" with a 12" blade. It is - like all Japanese saws - designed for pull only, rather than push-and-pull. So, mainly the latissimus ist involved in the action, not the biceps. Once tried, convinced. The blade is thin and flexible, and teflon coated, so it will not jam so easily or stick to resin, and the thin blade "bites" better. The blade can be locked in a further, slightly overbuckled position, so that you do not poke the ground by sawing logs laying nearly on the ground. Disadvantages: Available at about a 50 $, and a spare blade at about 25 $, it is a bit costly. Due to the flexible blade, shaving tinder is only possible adjacent to the hinge, the spine of my knife does better.

Great review Matt. Very professional. As far as comparing this Silky to the Corona goes I just did a little demo of the Corona 10" on my channel. The 10" would be a perfect comparison for your Silky. The 240 is 240mm which equals 9.44". If anyone cares. I bet it's the same blade made in the same factory. After using the Corona today I just happened to go to Cabelas tonight. I looked at the Silky 240. I thought it had the same blade. But I could tell the Silky was more robust, and a bit heavier. But it was almost $60 I think. The Corona can be had at Lowes for $20. If I wanted a serious bushcrafting saw it would be the Silky for sure. Thanks for pointing out the other tasks it can do. But if I wanted to just play in the backyard I'd have to go with the Corona.

Excellent video..! Bahco makes a good saw, but Silky saws Rock! In your cut comparison I noticed the Bahco took twice as many strokes to make the cut as the Silky did. I personally have found that to maximize the Silky saw efficiency, it's best to have what you are cutting anchored out in front of you. I carry the Silky Bigboy 2000, paired with a heavy, 1095 bladed machete. It is the best combination for my area (western US.. mostly soft woods) and will out perform an axe for the same carry weight. Thanks for the video...

Actually have the best pruning combination now with he gomboy 210 curved that has a small tip to get in tight spots when I do pruning. Then I have for small branches the medium okatsune pruner and a double stack scabbard to get both also available from okatsune. Everything the prunes cat cut I do with the silky. And I have it on my belt it is just such a fun combination. Okatsune pruners have a 61 HRC hard scissor blades steel so hard that you I only know one knife makes who can compete with that. And when a company makes 5 different ikebana scissors dedicated for three different ikebana schools you can't get more Japanese than that. But outdoors I will go for the gomboy curved 270 just because it just fits in my backpack.

The 240 is a green wood saw if I remember. The Silky achilles heel being a pruning saw variants is that hard as hell blade. Plenty of videos showing those things binding up once in a while and snapping in half or the first few inches. If you do forestry or landscaping great choice. If youvdo outdoorsman stuff the collapsing bow or frame saw will smoke the silky or any pocket or sheath pruner like it was standing still. 35 years in the woods from the Forestry Service to training Boyscouts assures me that a pocket saw is only for survival and tree trimming. But the hype and user videos assures all these channels that are just shilling for their sponsors will push the sales to people who dont know the difference between the saws. The Laplander can bend 90 degrees and then straightened by the way.

nice video Matt and I am sure the silky saw is a good saw but did you know that the Laplander will do all of those "TRICKS" too. all you need do is to file off the coating on the back of the saw blade and flaten it out like you would the mora. It will throw a great shower of hot sparks from a ferro rod also from flint and it will process tinder from a ceder branch very well . can't say about poplar but I have done it with cedar (smells great too) ... just a heads up

You are definitely correct and I probably should have mentioned that just to be completely fair. I am definitely a long term Bahco fan for sure. I have just been impressed with the aggressive cutting power of the Silky. I also like that it can perform the other tasks right out of the pack. It is a fairly easy mod though with the Bahco. I haven't done that myself but I know someone who do with good results. Cedar is an awesome scent! When I was down in Georgia, the area we were in had quite a bit of cedar and we burned some in the fire each night and there was an awesome sweet scent throughout the camp. Thank you for sharing that information and that in itself would be a good mod video to shoot with the bahco :)

It is also adjustable for tension with the adjustment of a screw. That way you can make it virtually impossible for it slip open. I do see what you mean on the curved blade model about those teeth. I went and grabbed my saw just now to inspect it closely. The teeth are far enough inside the handle that while they are visible, the sharp ends are recessed enough not to snag gear. The straight blade models are completely enclosed when folded as to not be visible. If you get an opportunity, hold one and give it a good inspection. It is possible that you may be pleased with it. Thank you again for your time and interest sir!

@@blackhatbushcraft I appreciate the advice on how to tighten the Silky so it doesn't come open. I've always owned Bahco saws, but I may give the Silky a try. Keep up the great videos. Very informative. God bless.

Personally I think the silky is more suited to bushcraft and the laolander for bugout/ survival since the blade is way harder to break. The added 2 inches is slightly unfair in comparing cutting speed but it probably is a little faster.

The laplander is a good saw but the silky gomboy 240 is a better faster saw I now have both .

Should really compare new Bahco laplander or other version of 396 with JT tooth and xt tooth. Here is compared old vs new saw, somewhat not fair. Silky is fine saw no doubt, but the cost comparison should be also the mater of. Stay well.

hello mr. schwarzhut. i think a better choice is a 17cm silky, medium teeth. its good still for two hand operating, fits in pockets well, good size, lightweight. for more wood, some 360 with rough teeth. or even bigger saw, katanaboy maybe, lightweight bowsaw. 240 is just an allrounder, that does nothing very good or bad. might be a good option, if some, for whatever reason, buys only one saw for all the year. keeping in mind, that the sawblade will flex/bend and not so rarely snap the tip off, much more than with a 17cm version, which is another reason to think about changing. never used a bahco laplander. from what i see, its much more sturdy by sawblade, performing much worse usually. a good choice for beginners, more survival-type style and people with two left hands. about using the silky as firesteel or flint steel: thats interesting, yet of course its just for emergency use. keeping in mind that using a flintstone on a knife or sawblade back: it will completely ruin it. id say dont use this unless there is really a need for, like survival situation or... if the blades are old and to replaced.

I've been a Bahco Laplander saw user for a long time now, at least if you look at what's in my pack. But I just ordered the Silky Gomboy 240. It seems that I'll be getting a lot more saw for the weight in my pack.

I don't think you will be disappointed Jim. The main thing that I haven't got the experience to tell is how long it holds up. With that I am hopefully because of what I have seen and read on the Silky. I think the complaints people have are more so due to improper use of the saw most likely. I hope you will enjoy your as much as I am enjoying mine and thank you for taking the time to tune in!

That’s all well and good but you have to push the saw through the cut. I find it inconvenient to not cut on the push. I’ve never had a problem with my Fiskars saws ($20) but my $60 Japanese saws, pull saws, have broken and bent. For bush work, a thicker blade is better for me. It’s very, very easy to lose your rhythm when sawing for long periods then bam, no more sawing because it broke. I’d rather take a little longer without stressing about my saw.

I understand. I haven't had that experience. I have used my several Silky Saws extensively and never snapped one. It could always happen but so far over these past years, they have served me well. I do carry a spare blade in my kit that doesn't weight very much and I usually forget it's there. I'd say if what you have is working for you there is nothing wrong with it and don't change as long as it continues to get the job done well.
