ThePocketboy saw is perfect for pruning single branches of trees and shrubs in the garden, or as a piece of equipment for any survivalist or bushcrafter.
ThePocketboy 170-10 is a compact folding hand saw from Japanese brand Silky. It was created based on centuries-old tradition of manufacturing reliable cutting tools and modern technology. The combination makes Silky tools achieve high durability and sharpness thanks to which high cutting efficiency is achieved.
The blade of the Silky Pocketboy 170-10 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 Pocketboy saw are the four-plane ground blade teeth and the ergonomic handle. To prevent the teeth from breaking off, hardening was used to harden 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 Silky Pocketboy 170-10 handsaw is equipped with a 170 mm long 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. The set comes with a practical lockable case, which is made of resistant, transparent plastic. This allows you to carry the tool safely in a backpack or tool bag.
Technologies
Chrome-plated finish
Chrome plating on 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.
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.
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 optimal sawdust evacuation, every so many teeth (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, a smooth saw cut provides an excellent finish, making sanding unnecessary.
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 biconcave ground: 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 vibrations while sawing and provides an excellent grip, even in wet conditions or when wearing gloves. What's more, this handle always provides pleasant warmth, even in extremely cold temperatures.
