Silky Bigboy 360-10 is a professional folding handsaw from the Japanese brand Silky. It was created on the basis of centuries-old tradition of manufacturing reliable cutting tools and modern technology. This combination makes Silky tools achieve high strength and sharpness, thanks to which high cutting efficiency is achieved.
The blade of the Silky Bigboy 360-10 saw is made of high-carbon steel, and its shape is precisely laser-cut. The surface of the saw is chrome plated, which prevents rusting and protects it from harmful external factors. The main advantages of the Bigboy saw are the four-plane ground blade teeth and the ergonomically elongated handle. To prevent the teeth from breaking off, hardening was used, hardening only the edges of the teeth, while the rest of the teeth are soft and flexible.Precision grinding in the shape of an hourglass, prevents the saw from blocking during cutting.
The extended handle of the Bigboy 360-10 saw increases the comfort of the work and reduces the effort to be made during sawing. The handle material prevents the saw from slipping from the hand, which positively affects our safety.
The Silky Bigboy 360-10 hand saw is equipped with a 360 mm blade with 10 teeth per 30 mm blade length. The saw is folded in such a way that the sharp teeth are hidden in the handle. This allows the tool to be carried safely in a backpack or tool bag.
Technologies
Electro-pulse hardening
The tips of the teeth are heated to a very high temperature for a fraction of a second. Since only the tip (or otherwise the cutting part) of the tooth is heated, the rest of the tooth retains its cutting quality, but also its flexibility. Induction-hardened teeth have three times the life of untreated teeth. They cannot be sharpened and can be recognized by the black tips of the teeth.
Non-spaced teeth
The teeth are precision ground into the blade, each with 4 cutting surfaces. The teeth are "unspaced" so that the cutting surface cuts straight into the wood, destroying about 50% fewer wood cells. The blades are honed biconcave: the lower part of the blade (near the teeth) is thickest, the upper part is slightly thinner, and the blade is thinnest in the middle. This design has several advantages: Less power needed for sawing, discharges sawdust effortlessly (it won't get stuck in the wood), very clean saw cut - no breaking or tearing of the wood creates a very accurate, smooth saw cut.
GOM rubber grip
GOM's rubber grip absorbs vibration while sawing and provides an excellent grip, even in wet conditions or when wearing gloves. What's more, this handle always keeps you pleasantly warm, even in extremely cold temperatures.
Silky technology
The blades are made of Japanese Authentic Premium steel and laser-cut. The blades are of unparalleled quality: they are very hard and durable, but at the same time remain flexible thanks to a soft metal core. Hard and wear-resistant - The chemical composition of the metal combined with a unique heating and cooling process determines the high hardness of the metal. The high carbon content leads to high wear resistance, so the sharpness remains for a very long time. Soft and flexible - By forging the saws in such a way, the core of the saw tooth consists of soft metal, so that the saw remains flexible and easily grips the wood.
Chrome-plated finish
Chrome plating of the blade makes the blade surface extremely hard and durable, while reducing friction and increasing blade life. In addition, chrome plating protects the blade from rust and resin. Before applying the chrome plating, Silky polishes the blade to a silk-smooth finish. This makes the blade encounter even less resistance in the wood when sawing.
Mirai-Me teeth
The razor-sharp teeth are precision ground into the blade, each with 3 cutting edges and resulting in an extremely smooth surface. For optimum sawdust evacuation, every back tooth (depending on the saw model) is ground outward. This unrivaled, patented MIRAI-ME technology allows the saw to be used for 3 types of cutting: cross-cutting (perpendicular to the grain), rip-cutting (parallel to the grain direction) and mitering. During pruning work, a smooth saw cut will allow the tree wound to overgrow easily. In carpentry, smooth saw cutting provides an excellent finish, making sanding unnecessary.
