Silky Zubat 330 Unboxing Review, Demo, Comparison

[@comfusedWorldpassanger3399]

Great saw. I have an earlier model of the same silky saws that I had for several years and the cutting teeth are still holding up very well. You've got a good father's day gift.

[@boknows7319]

Silky makes amazing saws! Thanks for sharing!

[@desertsurvival2175]

Yep the Zubat curve works. Cool Fathers Day gift for sure. Thanks for the review

[@TheDaveDryden]

👊

[@tony7106]

That saw is insane! And happy Fathers day bud! That card is a score! Big kudos to your wife for finding it. Tell her to talk to my wife and kids lol

[@TheDaveDryden]

Hehe

[@ScoopeddadDrone]

You will never want to use Batco or any other saw again. I have had Zubat now for over a year in my search and rescue pack and a Bigboy 2000XL in my hiking pack. Freaking amazing saws.

[@TheDaveDryden]

😁👍

[@ride-paddle-repeat]

Silky should sponsor you, before this video was done I had the zubat in my checkout. Really good comparison and very well thought out saw from Silky. Thanks for sharing!

[@TheDaveDryden]

Thanks, it's a great piece of kit

[@ronaldrose7593]

Hello Dave, thank you for the great review. Looks like a really good saw. The best to you and family for a wonderful day. 🤗

[@TheDaveDryden]

Cheers Ronald

[@Shawn-px3yz]

Looks like you made a great choice Dave. I'm going to get myself one of those..it's time. Will have to wait for a while..maybe a birthday gift from my kids. I have and use the same Coglans saw you have and it's getting old. Great review. That saw processes wood like a power saw! Seeing the material fly off that blade is awesome. Cheers 🇨🇦

[@aaahbeeeh3374]

good vid, sympathic and skillful guy. liked the comparsion to the other saws.

[@rickmorley9948]

Happy belated Fathers Day, Dave. Nice looking saw. I have a Silky Ultra Accel, which has a curved blade like the Zubat. It seems to be a very efficient design. Like you said, no downward pressure, just pull, and boy does it bite.

[@TheDaveDryden]

The first thing I noticed was the bite! Cheers

[@simone1997ita]

That's impressive for a simple saw! I'll buy one.

[@chainsawsurgeon6108]

Just ordered mine today, couldn't wait any longer .

[@HalfInsaneOutdoorGuy]

Fixed blade silky saws are top dog for cutting speed and ease. Love mine

[@BURNWOODBUSHCRAFT]

I can definitely see why you chose that saw. it very different looking but looks very functional and efficient. great review!

[@TheDaveDryden]

I first saw this thing on mcq and thought it was the dumbest saw. But really it is designed for efficiency and that's what I wanted. Something that actually performed great. The sheath is a home run too

[@PinetreeLine]

Great review Dave. I have the BigBoy but I can see why you like this one better. Thanks brother!

[@TheDaveDryden]

Each have a place, this guy fits my needs

[@Etienne938]

Nice review. Vancouver Island is such a nice place to explore. Keep it up!

[@TheDaveDryden]

👍

[@TressaZimmerman]

Great review. I have a fixed blade saw and it works for what I need. I don't know the brand. I found it at work, literally. Take care.

[@mr.fisher3973]

Excellent saw no doubt.

[@TheDaveDryden]

👍

[@trewadventures7034]

Just a heads up that's the Japanese version, north american version has a slightly thicker blade and metal bolts in the handle, as well as being silver on the case/ red on the handle

[@AlexanderSamarth]

I'll be getting this soon. Same thoughts as yourself

[@fredfleming261]

i have the boreal 21 but that looks like a great saw cant wait to see it in action

[@terryw.milburn8565]

All the reviews I've seen were great Yours Included, Dave Thanks ATB T God Bless

[@TheDaveDryden]

Thanks Terry

[@jonfornwald]

I have the Zubat 300 and the Ultra Excell and love then both. Great quality saws. Good choice.

[@azaba2007]

I wonder how much difference there is between the zubat and the ultra excel. Is the Zubat much faster than the Excel?

[@jschoenzy9416]

Appreciate the review. This looks like the tool I'm after.

[@greedygringoprospecting6941]

I have the pocket boy (large teeth) they do make short work of wood even green wood (just fallen over) fits in the pack ,pocket real nice stuff !!!

[@TheDaveDryden]

👍

[@spider5001]

Great choice! I didn’t know the sheath detached from the belt loop like that

[@TheDaveDryden]

A pretty cool function

[@robertdillon9989]

Agree, bought one, using nothing else now, was 50$ us

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Good choice of saw Dave. I have been debating between the Zubat and the Sugoi for my next purchase. Thanks for sharing

[@TheDaveDryden]

Guess it really depends on budget and your needs! Thanks for watching Mark take care

[@bcwoodsman876]

Good review. And here I thought I had enough saws...

[@stijn2472]

I would like to ask a question. What is your opinion of it a year later and is 30 bucks a good price of a second hand saw?

[@aaahbeeeh3374]

so, now ive got one, too. i like it, a problem with the sheath is there: the top part of the sheath is full with deep scratches from the blade, shortly after use. its from putting it in and outside. is this a common problem? i mean cant be, the user is forced to put that saw in the right angle every time.

[@tiborbencat9819]

Hi Dave. good choice I think. I have silky F180 (long like laplander) and I like it a lot. I also thing of buying a new bigger saw, but in my case I probably end up with boreal21. because the blades are much cheaper. Use ypur silky well, its a nice piece og gear

[@TheDaveDryden]

I understand the reason for getting the 21. Something I didn't mention in my vid was the replacement blades

[@tiborbencat9819]

I did dull ma blade in 1 year, so its a long time, and i cut dead standing qaks and hardwood with it so fairly impresive in my book, but still 15 euros for a new blade. and its small blade. but in performance i thing you could not go better. it cuts like crazy. I decided to deferenciate my saws. F180 is perfect for backpacking and hiking and boreal will be perfect for camping and bushcrafting trips I hope :)

[@cp-jc2784]

Very nice card!

[@vancouverislandbushcraft4879]

Nice saw...might get one

[@3101010]

Nice saw, personally I cant have enough options and have several .

[@TheDaveDryden]

True that. A saw, knife and axe for every day of the week!

[@legendarf5456]

Great saw

[@jonnyboat2]

My bow saw sucks. I have a folding Carona I bought at Lowes that works great.

[@slyfox4564]

I order it last night for 55 on amazon and now its 75 this morning. W

[@florinelr8154]

Hello, what model is it? 330-10 or 330-7,5?

[@jonjaudzems4428]

I have a 330-7.5 saw for green wood & 330-10 (fine tooth) back-up blade, for harder wood. Standard order usually presents the ZUBAT with 7.5 (teeth per 30mm) quote "It is available in 5 different blade lengths (240mm, 270mm, 300mm, 330mm and 390mm) and comes with a standard 7.5 teeth per 30mm across the range. A finer blade configuration is also available, the Zubat Fine. " unquote

[@florinelr8154]

@@jonjaudzems4428 thank you 👍

[@muhammadbizmrthq6807]

NICE

[@greedygringoprospecting6941]

and you can buy new blades for the ones that fold that's cool !!!!

[@countrybowwow]

👍👍👍

[@YuriShubenin]

I have Silky Zubat 330 Pro saw, It started to develop rust on blade around the logo the next day after very light rain

[@jonjaudzems4428]

Hey Dave. Great vid, however I feared for your naked flesh so close to the blade. I've seen some TERRIBLE injuries from other saws, but one from any SILKY blade, could easily leave you LIMBLESS in an instant. I even use a welder's type leather glove on my support hand, for better protection.

[@turtlewolfpack6061]

I can second the useless nature of the Bahco saw, over hyped and over priced garbage. When in the woods you carry the largest, most efficient saw you can. Ive carried the Cohglans Sierra Saw for years and love it but when it comes to saws size matters.

[@TheDaveDryden]

Totally agree, so useless I forgot it in the woods after the video. Id leave it there if I didn't feel guilty about littering

[@turtlewolfpack6061]

@@TheDaveDryden lol! Yea littering isnt good. Last weekend me and some friends went out to Landslide Lake here in Alberta and we found a ton of abandoned stuff. Even a pair of almost new snow shoes.

[@restoreallthings1806]

Very good present and review, you will be happy with all aspects of what this saw is produced for. I have the www.google.com/search?q=silky+sugoi&oq=silky+sugoi&aqs=chrome..69i57.18388j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8, for several yrs. now and have no complaints. Does yours have a diagonal blade tip for cutting vines , small brush, roots ect. ? It is a very helpful bonus for camp and trail prep. Be safe , ATB.

[@TheDaveDryden]

That saw looks great too. Don't think you can go wrong with any of silky

[@rachael9372]

OMG, are you sure a fix blade saw doesn't fold? hahaha

[@ScoopeddadDrone]

Not sure if you go to this site but BushcraftCanada.com is an amazing site for saws, axes, and knives. Out of Kamloops

[@TheDaveDryden]

Yes I check it out here and there

[@rachael9372]

WOW, the Baco is for smaller tasks. Smaller teeth, great for what it is designed for. Don't know what you are talking about. DUA

[@albertrivera1328]

just add it to the cart lol

[@jonfyfazan]

👏👏👍👌🐣🐥🪵🇳🇴. 😷

[@rachael9372]

Your wife must be the brains in the family I hope.

[@cristiandemirel1918]

you are cutting pine, man! most of the pieces you cut are not even 5 inches in diameter and very dry. if you have to cut some serious wood, that's green or even wet, that thing is useless!

[@cristiandemirel1918]

I don't understand why people go in the forest with pruning tools, talking about survival. Wait!... I know!.. is because they think that with a pruning tool they can cut enough wood for a night long fire. Well... you can't!
