Review: Best saw hands down. - Made short work of very thick brancjes in my garden. Despite the long delivery time it was worth it. Who needs a chainsaw if you have a silky? Cuts through everything with ease, perfect size for one handed sawing, performs like a chainsaw for smaller trees. 100% will be the best investment in a saw you can buy. Totally worth the wait and cost.
Review: Excellent: solid, sharp, easy to use - Excellent folding saw - was careful to follow 'pull' instructions & it cuts smaller branches / logs / sticks I have used it on so far very quickly & with ease. Pricey, but feels like it will last & overall a very good item.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: is there any difference between the Pocketboy 170 sold with medium teeth and the one sold with large teeth?**
A: On paper there is only a couple of mm difference in tooth size. In practice this translates in a couple of seconds in quicker cutting on an average limb. For me, being a horticulturalist it's worth it. For you it may not be. I use the medium for general use and the large toothed for larger limbs. I also have a fine toothed blade for delicate tasks. For me, the nuances of pruning require more precision in the use of tools/blades.

**Q: What is the best silky saw for cutting bone for hunting?**
A: Saws with medium teeth work best.  We have found the GomBoy 121-21 works best (ASIN B000CEAX8S).

**Q: how long is it when folded?**
A: It fits in typical pocket sticking out just slightly. I can't recommend this thing enough though, it cuts like a hot knife though butter.

**Q: how long is it when folded?**
A: 8.125 inches long when folded.
