For me, the joy of not hearing the load sound of the chain saw and not dealing with the stinky two-stroke motor and gasoline far out weighs the fatigue factor."
"But I wanted something Powerful but far easier to carry around in my pack on trips. outdoors, survival pack, etc."
"The Sugoi doesn't fold, but its blade is a bit longer, and has more a of a curved shape. I'm going to try to put the Sugoi blade on this folding BigBoy grip."
"I would advise getting the sheath as the blade does not lock when close."
"I purchased this saw and the Katanaboy 650 for camping, 4 wheeling, and clearing trails."
"So far I've trimmed trees, cut up firewood, and cut up downed limbs from our oak trees."
"This Silky has teeth like a shark that are razor sharp and rip through wood like a hot knife through butter."
"Very sharp and can saw through a 5 or 6" log in no time (user's strength permitting)."
6.4 teeth per inch (7.5 teeth per 30 mm) teeth configuration; 0.65 pounds (300 grams) operating weight; 1.1 pounds (480 grams) weight with sheath.

My Corona did not come with a saber and I have not found one made specifically for my Corona and they run in mid $20 range."
"Great saw."
"It cuts with ease and leaves very smooth surfaces at the cut."
"My neighbor brought his chain saw over to help me cut limbs but after seeing how quickly this little saw limbs trees he decided to take his saw back home."
"If you remember that Silky saws are pull saws, and let the saw do the work, they will serve you well and last for a very long time."
"After 3 months of daily use, it's still sharp."
"I did not think through the issue of cutting the tree stumps down to ground level which I was unable to do because of how thickly the trees grow and the uneven ground."
"On dead branches (on lemon tree), more sawing motions needed but still pretty easy."

"Great for cutting down volunteer trees and un-needed branches on large trees."
"It will cut small to medium large branches."
"Even though this is a folding saw, making it easy to carry along with pruning sheers, it is nevertheless much easier to use than any of the multitude other designs I've used in the past."
"I also used the Fiskars 14 foot pole for the tall limbs and it was great."
"Handy stash in my side pocket, when I'm wearing my saddle; always opens easily & locks securely for me; stays sharp long; GREAT prices here on Amazon."
"I thought my original saw was dull, but a stiff wire brush cleaned the blade and removed a gradual buildup of hardened pine sap."
"I have these in a few places because they are as useful as a "Shirt Pocket", chose Amazon because Lowes was out of inventory, "... the writing is on the wall..."."

"This pruning saw is everything you'd expect of the world's best makers of razor sharp cutting instruments."
"last pole saw youll ever need to buy."
"When fully extended (21ft) it is very flexible and makes sawing difficult but still cuts those branches down."
"I was debating on a stihl pole saw but decided this would probably work just fine and it works amazing for cutting dead branches and clearing shooting lanes for hunting."
"AMAZING product!"
"Love it - granted it's a bit pricey, however if you want a decent tool that holds up you do need to pay more."
"It is amazing."
