My first silky

[quixoticgeek]

I am starting out with my training, going to be doing my CS30/31 shortly. In the mean time I am after my first silky saw. Am after something with a fixed blade rather than a folder.

 

Which would you recommend?

 

Thanks

Gomtaro and a box of plasters.

Tsurugi.

I used to be all for Gomtaro's but the tsurugi is a step up and the sheath is really good too. I prefer a straight blade to a curved one.

Zubat it's a good all rounder

First one? That's easy, get the baby saw. "Pocket boy" £20

Four replies, 4 different saws. Me thinks this is a case of:

 

"What's the best silky saw?"

"Any of them"

 

I did look at the pocketboy. I have a Bahco laplander, and whilst I have no doubt that the silky pockeyboy will out cut it every time, I can't really justify having two tools that so clearly serve the same area.

 

Will investigate the suggestions.

 

Thank you all.

Ok then,get a Nakanoto 60 (straight 330) then you will have the best treecutting hand tool ever created.

Gomtaro are good saws there is no doubt about that.

As a first saw they are a little cheaper than others and by time you have worn it out you will know what to replace it with and why, be that a different model or the same again.

The question I answered was "which first saw", not "which Silky do you like best".

ps. the "box of plasters" part of my answer still stands.

A great all rounder ! If I had to choose one that would be it.....sugoi and tsurgi come in second and third followed by the zubat on my list.
