@Bruno August i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

@Bruno August it worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D Thanks so much you saved my ass!

[@TheRunereaper]

Dr. Wako, these Silky saws have another, very useful, purpose. They make absolutely the best firesteel strikers I have found. The sparks they throw off the back of the blade are simply superb - even with a firesteel of inferior quality. Thanks for posting.

[@virtuovice]

In my experience Medium teeth can be caught by wood sometimes while Fine teeth go smoothly. But the cutting speed is much faster on Medium teeth. So I prefer Medium teeth for 210 and 270. But for my PocketBoy 170 to cut thin and soft wood, Fine teeth feel easier. I have BigBoy in Large teeth. Its sawing motion is long and even Large teeth are not caught. It cuts very fast. So in case of 270, I would prefer Large teeth. They say Large teeth are for raw wood and Fine teeth are for carpentry.

Thanks for this review I was looking for something like this specifically to find out how all three performed in tests, this helped me decide on which one to get for my survival kit, I settled on the 270. Thank you.

[@PabloAlonzo48]

I subbed thanks to your great help. My girlfriend is getting me the 240 over the bahco Laplander I'm super excited. Strength and honor my friend thank you again I'm very greatfull

[@jeddi209]

@4:11 the size comparison for the 210, 240, and 270. Great video! I will be buying the 240 for outdoor/camping.

[@SirThunderPants]

An excellent demonstration! And you worked very hard to provide it. Thank you. I have the Silky gomboy 300 in my bugout bag, along with my gransfors bruks small forest axe, I couldn't be better prepared.

[@paulie4x1]

Thank You very much Doctor, for a very informative video, your videos have made it possible for me to get some good products, I look forward to watch more of your videos. Thank You, Doctor.

[@buellboy007]

thank you for your time and effort to make a video and give such a well descriptive review

[@danndank]

I just wanted to thank you for your videos. I collect flashlights and also use them in the nature, but this video made me buy a silkysaw gomboy 270. What an awesome saw... I use it when I go camping or fishing for making firewood, clearing branches, fallen trees etc. It looked impressive in your hands, but I was so happy when I received it and used it practically. Awesome piece of equipment, it stays always in my car now.

[@anthonymagic5640]

Hello there , great comparison..thank you..i am buying the Silky 240 for my first bush saw....camping duties...and bushcraft :-) your reviews are awesome and I can really appreciate the way you analyse things and explain the small important details....Cheers Anthony oh, glad I don't have wild bears here in Australia....Snakes ,and spiders...but no bears !

[@deanoboland]

Great work on video mate greetings from spain 👍👍👍

[@littlejimbridger7770]

Virtuovice Tho you made this video 5 years ago and I'm a little late to the party, I'd like to say thank you. You provided precisely the information I'm looking for. BTW, the bear bells are not even slightly annoying. Well done as always.

[@BrenticusMaximus1]

Thank you :) it is helpful to see size comparison between closely sized saws and practical application of all in comparison to one another

[@ewomer100]

Your English is broken but you explained more in the first 2 minutes of why the Gomboy is the best then what most if not all native of the English speakers that I could find have even hinted at.

[@handemooor984]

This is the first time I've seen the 3 sizes of the saw I've been thinking on achieving. The lack of the double notch in the 2127 leads me to the 2124. Thanks for sharing. Greetings from Basque Country

[@pauledbrown]

I used my gomboy 210 to cut up a eucalyptus tree that fell over in our back yard. The trunk was thicker than in your video. Its an amazing saw.

[@flyingtigers7856]

I'm going to buy either the 210 or the 240 primarily for hiking. Like you it will also be used around home for cutting up trees & branches for the fire pit. Which size would you recommend?

[@MorteKeno]

@@flyingtigers7856 Hola, de que tamaño compraste finalmente? 240 o 210, como te ha funcionado durante estos 4 años?, gracias! y saludos desde Chile.

[@flyingtigers7856]

@@MorteKeno I used Google translate for this, I hope it's a good translation ☺ Hola saludos desde Australia! Compré el 240, un poco más grande. Elegí el 240 porque es más fácil cortar ramas más grandes. La diferencia de peso es insignificante. Las sierras Silky son brillantes. Escuché muchas cosas buenas sobre ellos, pero nunca se sabe con tantos influencers promocionando productos. Estoy muy feliz de decir que es incluso mejor de lo que esperaba. ¡Excelente calidad, muy afilado y cortado brillantemente! In case the translation is weird, here it is in English! 😂 Hello, greetings from Australia! I bought the slightly larger 240. I chose the 240 as it's easier to cut larger branches. The weight difference is neglible. The Silky saw's are brilliant. I heard many good things about them, but you never know with so many influencers promoting products. I'm very happy to say it's even better than I expected. Excellent quality, very sharp and cut's brilliantly!

[@kenmuggli4613]

Thank you for your video, I am watching from Washington state USA

I just found this video and it has really helped me decide on which Silky to get. Thanks! I'm subscribing. 🙂

[@flyingtigers7856]

I just found this today also! What size are you getting? I'm thinking the 240 for hiking and around the garden at home.

[@Gimpthulhu]

@@flyingtigers7856 I went with the 240.

[@brodiefinlayson6498]

Great review. I just picked up a Gomboy 270 here in Shizuoka($35 @ nafco - half the price of any stores on eBay). I've also used the Silky Longboy pole saw for the higher stuff and love it as well. Made in Japan. Silky saws for the win! More cow bell😎🌲🌲🌲

[@YasumotoUS]

Nice work with the Nata hatchet when clearing the branches and thanks for sharing your experiences with the Silky saws. They like very effective woodsman tools. Separately, the local bears were learning what your bells sound like when cutting wood verses hiking down the forest trails.

[@Thetinebroken]

Hello I have watched your hunting for a couple of years....you dont need the rifles but will enjoy them. I think most dont know you wont get proficient until fall of 2014 with your new rifles. my fav is 308 with scout scope set up.....I have a ruger. Thanks

[@filimonundang2154]

Good comparison..very informative..i decide to get 270mm, 240mm already has one...

[@virtuovice]

I go to a rifle range to adjust scopes a couple of times before the season. I go to a clay shooting range to practice for the official test which we need to pass every 3 years to continue to hold our gun license. Many old hunters loose their license due to the failure on the clay shooting test. Thanks.

[@virtuovice]

Rifle license is said to be tougher to keep than shotgun license for old people. We need to take 3 positions, prone, sit, and stand. I have never experienced the rifle test because I have not had a rifle license yet. To keep my deer shotgun for now, I need to pass the clay shooting test. After having rifles, I need to pass the both tests if I need both shotguns and rifles. Japanese gun license system is ridiculous even to me. Thanks.

[@gaciddawg2627]

Thanks for the interesting, informative videos! I really appreciate all your effort.

[@Nobodysfinest]

Nice Video ! Greatings from Germany !

[@Larrypint]

nice test and nice clothes patch . greetz from germany

[@THERAPTURECOMES]

Why are you wearing a bell?

[@virtuovice]

To warn off a brown bear. We have lots on this island.

[@THERAPTURECOMES]

virtuovice Ah thank you.

[@myersjx]

virtuovice If you see a bear 210 too short, 240 a little short but will work, 270 two hand just right!!! I liked the bells when you got going! Thank you for your videos!!

[@zoltan2728]

And according to the old joke: ...and the brown bear poop is: big, brown, smells like pepper(spray) and has little rings in it...

[@James-ke5sx]

Good review, thinking about the 240mm after watching you.

[@virtuovice]

It is Japanese pruning hatchet "Nata". Its tang stops at the middle lengh of the handle and its square blade is pretty heavy. Its grind is right hand chisel. It is a real forestry tool. Thanks.

[@brentsaylor1725]

Where do we get one of those sweet leather sheaths?

[@asiam7436]

ありがとうございました This is an excellent video. I do not take saws backpacking. I would only use it for car camping or canoe camping so the 240 is the one for me. I don't think I am strong enough to saw through the bigger logs with the 270 but I would enjoy trying! I have subscribed. I am going to look through your videos for knives that will let me create smaller tinder and use to split the smaller limbs by pounding the knife through the wood.

[@jasmijnariel]

I have the 240 for dry wood, but i use it to cut down trees bigger than my leg. It does an amazing job

[@yourdiscoverelaxchannel9422]

Thanks for the demonstration of the saws ... greetings from germany

[@virtuovice]

Large teeth can be caught by wood fibers in a bit higher probability than Medium teeth. But Large teeth is substantially faster to cut a thick log. To a raw wood Large teeth will be recommended because the fibers are soft. But we usually cut dry wood for fire. Anyway I will compare Large and Medium in 270mm in a couple of weeks. 240mm is the right length anyway for regular outdoor purposes. I need 270mm individually for a survival/rescue purpose in an assumed huge quake. Thanks.

[@elimgrc1292]

Thanks for the video, very informative, but why the bell?

[@tireironman]

so you don't accidentally sneak up on a bear

[@canadianloon6433]

I subscribed because you did a great demonstration and I had to pay you for all that work somehow.

[@waikarimoana]

Very good and informative video,thanks mate,thumbs up.

[@y2kirk1028]

Can you compare the Gomboy with the Tajima ALOR-A240 on you're next test? The Tajima has a black Fluoro-Coating on it that supposedly makes it smoother and faster.

[@Do_not_assume]

Please can you review the gomboy 300mm vs bigboy 2000? I'm not sure which one to purchase and your review will help me make up my mind.

[@2CabrasLocas]

Great video and review of the saws. Thanks!

[@aHigherPower]

I love the Silky but I've snapped blades if your not careful.

[@DGH420]

My rifles will arrive March next year. I need to pass rifle handling and shooting test, psychatric interview, my background investigation and so on before having them. It will take a couple of months after starting the paper work. Thanks.

[@myalternatemeswordofthefor4928]

Have to give you a thumbs up for almost having a heart attack at the end from the fast sawing. Cool Sheath for your knife by the way.

[@michelexe65]

I have tried many saws but Silky are the best

[@kristaps2010]

Good simple test. Thank you friend.

[@virtuovice]

I love PocketBoy 170 at home to cut thin wood. Both Fine and Medium teeth are fine with PocketBoy 170. But for ourdoors I think GomBoy 210 is needed at the minimum. Thanks.

[@citizen1114]

I really enjoyed your video. Very nice job. I will buy the Gomboy 270. Where were you when this was made? I think there are Brown Bear on the island of Hokkaidō, but perhaps you were elsewhere?

[@citizen1114]

Here it is March 25 and i finally bought one (medium teeth) on your recommendation/review.

[@virtuovice]

They are Kozuchi SN-11 for 210 and Kozuchi SN-12 for 240 and 270. You can find them on Rakuten Global site from Japan.

[@TimKollat]

wako, where do you get your sheaths for the folding saws? Im going to get silky 240 and will need a sheath, but dont want to spend alot of money on one

[@patriceb26]

Bonjour So which one is the best ?

[@virtuovice]

210 or 240 in medium teeth depending on your preference. My preference for outdoor use is 210.

[@frankgon4]

thank you. Simple and to the point. I will get a 270

[@virtuovice]

270 is a bit too long for a folding saw in my experience. I mean 270 should have a wider blade for its job not to bend. If you need a longer side folder for camping or such, 240 has better balance as a folder in my opinion. Thanks.

[@dimmacommunication]

virtuovice i was thinking aboug buying a 240 with large teeth :)

[@whiskeypapa8842]

Outstanding video.

[@briargoatkilla]

Wako you can use pliers and adjust the "set" of the saw teeth to reduce the side friction of any hand saw. It's called tuning and it is an important part of knowing how to operate a saw.

[@z1booya]

Great video!! Do you know where I could purchase a sheath like yours for the 240 model? Thanks Booya

[@virtuovice]

SN-11 is for Pocketboy 170 and Gomboy 210. global.rakuten.com/en/store/yminfo/item/10009713/ SN-12 is for Gomboy 210 and 240. global.rakuten.com/en/store/yminfo/item/10009714/

[@z1booya]

Awesome, thank you very much!!

[@shockwavecity]

I'd say they're not better, just different. I find the sawvivor holds up better than folding saws in very cold temperatures, due to the way it's braced (i've snapped a couple folding saw blades in cold weather by having them bind and bend in the log. On the other hand, that top brace often gets in the way when you're trying to process a log. There are plusses and minuses to both.

[@hoathbill]

Thank you for a very helpful video, well done!

[@doganaslan2969]

Teşekkürler dostum güzel ve faydalı video... thanks...

Would you please tell me where I can get that AWESOME hatchet that you have? Is it Tamahagane?

[@virtuovice]

Hog Wylder The hatchet is made out of blue paper steel. www.toyokuni.net/nata/nata6.htm I ordered handle checkering and the traditional style sheath. They cost almost 100 dollars except for the hatchet itself. Thanks.

[@Hogwylderr]

virtuovice Than you very much DR Wako! I have been a HUGE fan of Japanese steel for years. This type of design in a hatchet would go great with my Gransfors Scandinavian Forest Axe.

[@alwaysApril1st]

is the bell to keep bears away?

[@JonALewis]

Hi Wako, after seeing your videos on the Gomboy saws I tried one (210 large teeth) and am very impressed with its performance. So what tooth size, small/medium/large, do you recommend for your Silky saws?

[@Thetinebroken]

Can you target practice off season?

[@plinker69]

seems kind of bogus. should be able to qualify with scope/rifle if that is how they are going to hunt? clay shooting is nothing like rifle shooting? Or is it different over there?

[@danieljhoggins2940]

would you recommend the 240 for more general use? it seems to go through the larger branches okay. but will it be suitable for finer work as well? are the teeth small enough to leave a nice finish?

Hi Wako. Where did you purchase the Silky Gomboy 210 mm sheath? I am very curious, thanks.

[@virtuovice]

It is Kozuchi SN-11. I don't know if Global Rakuten ships it overseas. SN-11 is for Pocketboy 170 and Gomboy 210. SN12 is for Gomboy 210 and 240. Thanks.

[@coreyhope5348]

The sheaths that you have for your silky gomboys, where did you buy them or did you make them yourself?

[@virtuovice]

KOZUCHI SN11 is for Pocketboy 170 and Gomboy 210. SN12 is for Gomboy 210 and 240. You may get them from Rakuten Global Market. Thanks.

[@b3nsf]

Hello DR Wako, where did you get those leather sheath belt holsters for the Silky Gomboy saws?

[@virtuovice]

[@b3nsf]

+virtuovice Thank you very much!

[@gaciddawg2627]

+virtuovice I was wanting information on the sheaths, too. I saw you also had one for the Gomboy 270. I don't see that they make a Kozunchi SN-13 if I progress up from what you have already provided, but it looks like the Kozuchi SN-12 might also work on this saw. Is that the sheath that you used for your 270? Thanks for your help. The Virtuovice channel name is clever; I like it.

[@virtuovice]

+GaCidDawg Yes. Kozuchi SN-12 works on Gomboy 270 as well. Thanks.

[@virtuovice]

Kozuchi SN-12 fits 240 and 270. Kozuchi SN-11 fits 210 and Pocketboy 170. Go to Rakuten Global. Thanks.
