After three uses, I had no complaints about the quality of this saw or its blade. It's a solid and powerful tool—I hope it stays that way. It handled both thin and thick trees very well, whether they were dry or moist. After each use, I clean it with a brush and oil it. So far, no rust has appeared.
A large folding saw by Japanese brand Silky made of high-carbon SK-4 steel. The surface of the saw is chrome-plated, which protects it from rusting and harmful effects on the blade.
The 650 mm long blade allows efficient and comfortable work even with larger pieces of wood. SK-4 steel is characterized by high resistance to cracking and chipping. Safe work and transportation is helped by a durable blade locking mechanism.
The long two-handed handle has been ergonomically contoured and made of durable and rubberized plastic. This provides good anti-slip properties and nullifies vibrations during work.

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.
