Silky manufactures hand saws in Ono, Japan using SK-4 carbon steel blades cut by laser for precise tooth profiles. Founded in 1919 under the original TAMAKITSUNE brand, the company developed proprietary manufacturing processes including a patented saw setting technique that improved cutting sharpness, and today a Silky is the saw serious arborists, hunters, and bushcrafters reach for by name. Blades feature taper-ground geometry to reduce friction in the kerf, while chrome plating protects against rust and resin buildup from green wood cutting.
The GomBoy introduced the industry's first rubber-clad handle when it launched in 1985, winning the Japanese Good-Design prize, and runs 210mm through 300mm blades with medium teeth at 10 per 30mm for general cutting or large teeth at 7.5 per 30mm for aggressive green wood removal. The compact PocketBoy series brings 130mm and 170mm blades in fine, medium, and large tooth configurations, the folding saw that lives in a bushcraft kit or hunting pack without being noticed. Both designs lock in two positions for inline or flush cutting.
The Zubat fixed blade saws run curved 330mm and 390mm profiles for arborist pruning and reaching into dense canopy, while Big Boy models span standard 360mm versions to Outback Edition builds with arbor composite handles and black nickel-tin coatings for corrosion resistance and reduced glare. At the top sits the Katanaboy, Silky's largest folding saw at 500mm to 700mm, a two-handed monster for trail clearing, firewood processing, and survival applications that outcuts small chainsaws with zero fuel.
All Silky blades use electro-impulse hardening, heating only the tooth tips to extreme temperatures while leaving the body flexible, extending tooth life roughly three times over non-hardened teeth. The non-set tooth design forms teeth within the blade width rather than projecting outward, reducing friction on the pull stroke, and the 4-RETSUME configuration groups teeth to discharge sawdust while keeping the action smooth.
