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, with origins dating back to 1919, when Katsuji Miyawaki founded the company in the city of Ono. For over one hundred years, the brand has built a reputation for reliability and precision, and its tools stand out for exceptional build quality. The saws are made from top-grade steel and use impulse hardening of the teeth (impulse hardening), which, combined with a design intended for "pull" cutting, ensures smooth operation and precise, clean cuts. In 1980, Silky patented its proprietary saw setting process, which significantly increases tool sharpness — this solution was used, among others, in the 4-Retsume and Miraime2 models. The Japanese manufacturer's solutions are used by professionals worldwide: arborists, foresters, carpenters, and bushcraft enthusiasts. It is worth mentioning that in 1985 the "Gomboy" model was the first on the market to receive a rubber-coated handle, which contributed to winning the prestigious Japanese Good Design Award. Thanks to the combination of traditional Japanese craftsmanship and modern technological solutions, Silky has ranked among the leading hand saw manufacturers for years.
