Silky BigBoy XL/Fine - My favorite Saw Combo

[@williamhale8162]

Awesome video. Love your work. I just started carving but I showed you videos to my grandfather who has carved forty eighty years and he he even gets ideas from your videos as well.

[@woodsmansfinest3814]

One of the kindest comments I've ever received. Please say hi to gramps from me!

[@FertileUnderground]

i have used the Sugoi for ten years.. i love the folding saws because they travel safely. i use them both in pruning, felling a mid-size tree if i dont want to make the noise, and i even use japanese saws (with a straight blade) in finish carpentry. i would keep this in my volvo trunk, with my other carpentry and woodworking tools, i do handyman jobs, residential tree pruning, and high-end carpentry and installations. one would be amazed, i can work faster with a Silky saw than someone else taking time to hook up a skilsaw, if its just for one or two cuts.

[@frantanovotny7876]

congratulation Max. I think you deserve much more subscribers.

[@dominicm6144]

Nice saws! If I had one, I'd be using it as often as I cut and carve my spoons, kuksas, and other things. Very handy as I only have an aging bahco laplander that I've filed myself back to sharpness and a really rusty handsaw. Cheers for the video!

[@FertileUnderground]

came for the saws... will stay for more! i appreciate you sharing those little tips like how to change angle while cutting.. its these little things that i love gets passed along on KZbin for those who are learning. Thank you!

[@woodsmansfinest3814]

Very sweet comment. A crap ton of video waiting for you... With the little different info compared to most channels. Happy to have you!

[@seanmacdonald5518]

Love way the curve maintains a good contact patch with the wood, green or dry.

[@ktfurness4877]

I've been in the market for a silky saw! I'd use it to harvest wood to carve spoons. I live in the city, so I can only gather wood while I'm out in the country.

[@kristicpank100]

I think in our village such a tool would be indispensable👍 thanks for the video

[@joshuacovey5910]

I have little pocket sized silky and I love it! Often contemplate purchasing larger for harvesting wood for carving spoons and firewood as well. Would be so much better than my fiskars bow saw.

[@robinleksather6441]

I would take it out for some bushcrafting trip with some carving and cooking in the weekends! 👍🏼

[@thomashall3818]

I would use this saw for small scale woodland maintenance. You can not beat a silky

[@TheRedhawke]

I really love the fact that the "BigBoy" goes beyone flush to give you a better angle when sawing. I would use it to gather more wood to carve more spoons.

[@ozensener]

I normally use a Bahco but the performance of Silky seems quite well. I would use it to cut thick logs while I camp with my little daughter.

[@codylefebvre5964]

Great addition to my bushcraft/carving kit!

[@thexitto]

Inspiring! I have the Pocket Boy Saw its great and light for preparing wood to make spoons but this Big Boy lets me be more time in the woods! 💪

[@johnr1350]

I would use it mostly for the garden here, but occasionally for bushcraft.

[@bushcraftphilosophy3851]

Fantastic saw! We would most definitely use it for our bushcraft activities when in need of a longer and more efficient saw!

[@NiklasGisi]

I have a lot of firewood I have to split every year but sometimes the logs I get are to long for my chimney.. the only saw I have is the one from opinel 😂 Never owned a silky but they look really functional.. so thank you for the chance to get one 🍺

[@michogonzales]

Great Work! I want to start spoon carving and use it therefor.

[@inthewoodswithbigfoot3941]

I do enjoy mine for camping. I need to get a medium for carving. Great video.

[@oce_wavves]

Excellent video! I'd definitely use this as an upgrade on my current saw for carving! Have always wanted one of these!

[@robinhedman3374]

I have been using a Laplander on my various adventures. But lately I have been feeling the urge to try a different saw. The silky seems to fit my needs perfectly. Awesome videos. Keep up the good work!

[@Codyannabanana]

This would be great addition to my spoon carving and camping arsenal. 👌

[@fathersonsurvival]

[@patmost9982]

I would use the saw for fresh green word for spoon carving.

[@Nobodysfinest]

Nice Video ! Great Saw .

[@woodsmansfinest3814]

@@Nobodysfinest cheers! I go everywhere with them

[@nathanwolber4503]

Awesome! Would use for yard work, cutting wood for atlatls and bows, camping/backpacking & hunting

[@woodsmansfinest3814]

The ideal answer.

[@purecampbell]

Backpack hunting trips

[@SirCrabro]

I would use it to gather wood for spoon carving...of course, just wood on the ground

[@jessegordon1323]

Just started spoon carving so I would definitely be using them for that!

[@BannMakes]

Well done on getting your numbers up. I would use it for harvesting material from my local woodland for carving projects.

[@beeferbaron]

I usually go by reviews to see if good also. Thanks for the giveaway man 😁

[@wayneross3924]

Great tools. Good demos. Thanks!

[@woodsmansfinest3814]

They really are! Cheers

nice job again. amaseing saw, seems so huge. maby in the future will be carving hook giveaway...

[@csamons0935]

I'd take down some pesky trees on my dad's property and may try hiking with it. I have a pocket boy currently.

[@banjomoltar8675]

This is a very nice video, it helps a lot!

[@robertcesena6329]

Thanks for the information. I'd like to enter the contest but I'm not on IG. Lol

[@Kopeksahibikocu]

I'd use it to gather some wood fpr spoon carving.

[@woodsmansfinest3814]

Perfect

[@twotonanchor]

I’d use this to cut walking staves from trees on my land. I collect them.

[@NorseAlpine]

Should I win I would use the saw for carving, fire wood processing and general bushcraft tasks. Should I not win I will probably get one anways, I have been looking at Silky saws for quite some time now but never pulled the trigger. Cheers, David

[@BlaatandProductions]

Would use it for bushcraft trips with my homies and for carving spoon's og kuksa's

[@jipdijcks4117]

I would use it as my lucky charm might i win, and i would ofcourse use it for gatering wood🙏🏻 i live next to a forest so i can use it for sure!

[@richardkut3976]

Nice review, thanks.

[@woodsmansfinest3814]

[@keepfishingneverstop]

I would use this when spoon hunting with my boy (8) good luck all

[@mountainmanmike8383]

how have I been missing these ??? Ordering these today along with the mora 105. I have your carving knife but I left it at my mo,ms 350 miles away.

[@woodsmansfinest3814]

Thank you brother! You find all the links below! You will love em for trapping!

[@storm3dknives957]

I'd use it to cut spalted wood for my knifemaking!

[@RiverbendlongbowsOutdoors]

Very good 👍 I have the pocket boy but could definitely use a bigger saw. I'll catch you on Instagram

[@SuperBluefin1]

Silky have not heard a complaint yet. Only positive raves. The simple fact of a pull saw design keeps the kerf in straight line. I always use a hacksaw blade to cut on the pull stroke. It’s more efficient. Hey I have

[@SuperBluefin1]

(Continuation) admired Japanese saws and wood working tools. Do you use and Japanese axes? Also I am make and teach bowmaking, curious to see what axes etc. you use for stave reduction. Just a thought. Of course I have a variety of Swedish axes, as their geometry is cutting edge! I’m liking lighter weight hatchets with a straight tomahawk type handle. Might be something your followers might like, including my self. Thanks for your good, honest info. B.B.

[@woodsmansfinest3814]

@@SuperBluefin1 I got my own line of axes and used to make bows. Swedish axes arent cutting it for me anymore in steel and geometry. From my dozens of axe reviews you can imagine I'm a nerd about those things and have been doing this for a while. I've lived also in Canada carbing canoe paddles with axe and knife so stock removal of Ash and even harder kiln dried woods isn't new to me. Browse the channel. You'll find a lot.

Subscribed a long time ago. Nice saw

[@CareyOnVagabond]

Thanks for the video. Great tip on buying different blades for one saw for us minimalist folks who will use it for cutting firewood and spoon blanks. Been following you on IG as @careycarving.

[@pierreyvin7576]

I like your content, and wish i would win the giveway, i'm studying in artisanal woodworking so it would be very useful for me and my futurs projects, thanks a lot ! Take care.

[@KICLEI_CANADA]

Great video

[@ViktorSuhov]

If i could choose only one blade for camping and log cabin construction would 10 teeth per inch would be a way to go?

[@woodsmansfinest3814]

Large size teeth

[@ViktorSuhov]

@@woodsmansfinest3814 thank you for your answer. Then I think I am gonna go for 7 teeth per inch on a straight blade.

How is the performance of the tajima saws?

[@woodsmansfinest3814]

Very good. Used them before hand.

[@ismaildawoodjee4085]

A review of a the tajima saw would be great. Also silky vs tajima. Not much info on tajima saws in English.

Looks perfect for cleaning up trees on the property and camping when a chainsaw isn’t practical or desired, that’s what I would use it for. IG @paulfeldmeyer1

Sounds about perfect.
