MILITARY is a premium dealer of Silky.
Silky is a Japanese manufacturer of hand saws with a long tradition, dating back to 1919, when Katsuji Miyawaki founded the company in the city of Ono. For over a century, the brand has gained a reputation for reliability and precision, and its tools are distinguished by their exceptional quality. The saws are made of the highest quality steel and undergo impulse hardening technology, which, combined with a design intended for ‘pull’ cutting, ensures smooth operation and precise, clean cuts. In 1980, Silky patented its own saw setting process, which significantly increases the sharpness of the tools – this solution has been used in the 4-Retsume and Miraime2 models, among others. The Japanese manufacturer's solutions are used by professionals around the world: arborists, foresters, carpenters and bushcraft enthusiasts. It is worth mentioning that in 1985, the ‘Gomboy’ model was the first on the market to feature a rubber-coated handle, which contributed to it winning the prestigious Japanese Good Design Award. Thanks to the combination of traditional Japanese craftsmanship and modern technological solutions, Silky has been one of the leading manufacturers of hand saws for years.

Durable and precise, handles every type of wood perfectly. It's compact and lightweight, so it's easy to take with you – it works well on a plot, camping, and during fieldwork.
-
The saw works perfectly – its sharp blade allows for quick and effortless cutting even of larger trunks. The interchangeable blade is an additional advantage of this product.
-
This is a very sturdy saw that handles larger pieces of wood well. It is very sharp and holds its sharpness for a long time (I've been using it for over a year). The case is durable and protects the saw well. Since the saw is quite flexible, you should be careful when cutting quickly not to break the blade.
-
A big advantage is the plastic case and the ability to change blades. The saw is very solidly made, and the shipping was lightning fast. Highly recommended, Paweł!
-
Really great saw, the Silky brand lives up to expectations... The size is very universal — offers a lot of possibilities, yet remains handy and lightweight.
-
Top-shelf equipment. Appreciated by many bushcraft enthusiasts. In my opinion, it has the perfect size for cutting medium-thick sticks for a campfire, and it can handle thicker ones too. Before first use, it's worth watching a tutorial – these saws don't forgive mistakes and it's very easy to break the blade.
-
The saw is durable and easy to use. It cuts larger and thicker branches without any problem. It works perfectly as a backup for an axe. I definitely recommend it.
-
The saw is solidly made, you can feel the high quality in your hand. It handles cutting excellently. It's an essential piece of gear for every outdoor and travel enthusiast. As always, lightning-fast order fulfillment from Militaria.pl – I recommend it!

I have been using the Silky Gomboy Curve 270-8 folding saw for a week in the garden and I am delighted with it. Japanese precision and sturdiness make a big impression. Truly a great saw!
-
This saw outperforms the previous store-bought one I had – it's great. Cuts quickly and smoothly, and handled dry pine with a diameter of about 20 cm without any problems.
-
The saw is very lightweight, so it doesn't weigh down your backpack. It has a thin blade, which makes it easy to cut even thick branches. It performs very well when cutting and stays sharp for a long time.
-
The equipment is very durable, and compared to my previous saw it performs much better. The price matches the quality, although it's worth waiting for a promotion.
-
I bought the saw with wet wood in mind, mainly fruit trees. The manufacturer claims it's suited for this, and indeed the saw works great. The packaging confirms this as well. Typical for Silky – it almost cuts by itself.
-
The saw works great! Remember that silky saws cut when you pull them towards you, so you shouldn't use too much force when pushing. Let the saw do its job – it will handle the task by itself. Ideal for people who appreciate convenience and high quality. The price may be higher, but it's worth it.
