Silky Gomboy

Silky Gomboy 240 with medium teeth. This little folding saw churns through wood like no other. This is my go to for any and all bushcraft trips. Japanese made, awesome quality and an industry standard.

Here are a number of things I’ve found useful regarding saw work > ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1) A general rule for sawing up wood is to ensure that the length of the saw blade is at least three times the width of the piece you’re cutting, both for efficiency and a clean finish.
2) I’ve found that using your index finger as a guide and pointing it down the length of the saw is great when accuracy is required, such as for carving work.
3) It helps to keep your body comfortably positioned to the side of your work piece, so you can ensure your arm is able to pull and push in straight back and forth motions, whilst cutting through whatever it is you’re working on.
4) Attaching a lanyard, namely for hanging the saw up when it’s not in use certainly helps on the camp organisation front.

Let me know what kind of saw y’all prefer to use when you’re out on bushcraft trips. Feel free to share any tips you may have on such matters as well.
