My first silky

[Bren.]

For Groundwork you are imo, better off with a folder. I know they don't look as cool, but having stuff you don't need strapped to your leg/waist can become a pain. especially when doing stuff like snedding as it can get snagged.

I've got,

Pocket Boy,

Oyakata,

Sub Zero.

All are good saws.

BTW, if you do get a Pocket Boy, the Laplander will go straight in the bin, mine did.

the next thread you can start is my first silky cut it won't be long after you buy one

[hedgesparrow]

got a zubat and cracking saw. as for plasters yes very sharp have nicked myself with mine but like anything thats sharp just be careful trouble with silkys they do cut very quick and can take you by suprise how quick it did cut.

but the zubat will do most jobs ok and not to big plus can hang from belt or unclip it leaving belt bit on belt

Used Gomtaro for years and tried the others. Tsurugi is the best IMO.

Zubat (300mm) was my first and only silky. I'm sure this is the case with most silky's but its remarkable how long it hold that edge! Great hand saw.
