What
customers are saying about the Silky saws
"I
have been in the tree industry for 20 years now and I must
admit that after purchasing the Sugoi and the Ibuki, I have
never seen a hand saw so efficient as these two saws. I am
able to prune large hard wood trees almost entirely with the
hand saws. I was wondering if you might be able to let me
know how I could get my hands on a couple of silky decals or
bumper stickers for my trucks and trailers? I want customers
and competition to know that I am packing the best."

"I
recently won one of your prizes and love my silky saw. ...I
am alone, with a huge yard full of trees and bushes, I have
used this on my lilacs and rose bushes and it is so easy to
use. I just love it. Thank you so much. I have ear-marked
your page and will be buying your products. Thanks again."

"I
was a recent winner of your saw sweepstakes. I must tell you
I am impressed with the craftsmanship and quality of the
Ginga saw I recieved, and it arrived very quickly! I tried
it right away on some bushes that needed trimming and it cut
through the branches like butter! I have another use for
this saw. I intend to add a wrist strap and duct tape it to
the inside of my kayak so I can use it to cut through any
snags. I would highly recommend your saws to my gardening,
camping and kayaking friends."

"Hello, I want to thank you for an outstanding product. I
am now on my 3rd Silky saw since I started working in the
Arboriculture industry. I first started out with a Sthil
hand saw and did not like it very much so I decided to go
with a Gomtaro. I was use to a straight blade and thought it
was a good choice. The next saw I purchased was a Zubat
because I was climbing in the trees more often and the
curved blade made things easier on me… Anyhow I have now
purchased the Sugoi 360 and IT IS AMAZING. This has been the
BEST of the BEST that I have purchased from Silky. I love
the leg scabbard and the saw seems to fit my hand in a way
that feels good. Thanks, Erik ."

"The past 4 years SilkyUSA had set me up as a distributor
for Government purchases for the trail crew on the District.
The trail crew members have been very impressed with these
saws and have demonstrated them to other USFS Ranger
District trail crew staff during wilderness saw training
workshops. I have been authorized by the Okanogan and
Wenatchee National Forests to purchase two saws and two
spare blades for each of the seven Districts, as well as
another 10 for my crew. I'm sure that the other District's
will be ordering more in the future. The only disadvantage
to the Gomboy 300 is the color of the handle for our
application. Black is difficult to find if a crew member
lay it down on the ground while discarding debris from the
trail, and we have lost several over the years. We have been
tying orange flagging on the end of the handle and that has
helped, somewhat, the flagging is easy to rip off while
cutting multi-stem shrubs and trees. It’s a minor problem,
but the saws work great, wish I had these 30 years ago when
I first started working on trail crews."

"I
wanted to let you know how satisfied we are with the Silky
product line. Arborguard Tree Specialist has over 30 full
time climbers and plant health care technicians that
currently use several Silky handsaws.
Silky handsaws out perform all the other handsaws
manufactures out there, hands down. With all the employees
we have we have used many other handsaws manufactures and
have found the many problems with there products over time.
Personally I have had the wooden handles break after a short
time of use and the blades bending after cutting a branch.
We do not have to worry about that with Silky saws, the
handles on all of the saws are durably and are made like
they were meant to custom fit each climbers hand and the
quality and thickness in the steel used. Honestly I have
never used a saw that has stayed sharp for such a long
period of time.
There are days when crews need to work on high maintenance
golf courses, were the members would rather keep the
chainsaw noise down at all costs, that’s were the Ibuki 390
and the Sugoi 360 come in and handle business. I’m grateful
for your product and your services. Thank you!

"I just
wanted to let you know, I just purchased a silky SUGOI 360
and it is the best hand saw i have ever used. I no longer
have to use my chainsaw as much which is great. I am also
looking at buying the Hayate 420 pole saw... I just wanted
to know that after running a tree service for 10 years that
I enjoy your products, they are light weight and great to
use. Thanks again."

"Just a quick note to thank you for the unbelievably
speedy delivery of my Zubat saw. I used it this week and
love it!! Cuts like butter. Thanks."

"Dear Silky Saw Company, I did not get a package, and
called your 888- number--your rep stayed on the phone and
talked me through the process of finding the package--he was
WONDERFUL!!! It is rare to get that kind of customer service
today--thank you for your fine product!"

"I received my saw back today with the replacement blade
& my free gift saw as well. You guys really went above and
beyond to back your products. I have been using your hand
saws for years to assist in cutting trails and climb trees
for deer hunting wherever I need to. The features I like the
best are the aggressive cutting teeth, the light carry
weight and the rubber assist hand grips. I am traveling to
Missouri this week to camp & hunt and I am very glad I’ll
have your saws with me to get the job done easily and
conveniently. The Silky products are excellent tools for a
variety of outdoor jobs. I recommend them to all my outdoor
friends. Thanks again for your excellent customer service!"

"The Zubat
just arrived! I like the new scabbard clip, now I don't have
to worry about loosing the scabbard when transporting it
with my other pole tools in their holder on the side of the
chip box on my truck. I've been in this business for three
decades, and have noticed that the tools used are the ones
that work best; and the tool companies that make it are the
ones that continue to invest in improving the quality and
usefulness of their products. (Case in point, Homelite vs.
Stihl, in the important chainsaw market niche). I give Silky
my highest recommendation, I believe you that have the best
handsaws and polesaws on the market today!"

"I must say, I'm very impressed with Silky products... I
just received an Accel 160 after being so pleased with the
Hayauchi 390... and will be ordering an Ibuki 390 in the
coming days (when stocks are listed online)... The tool
quality, performance, and price is exceptional... Your
packaging and fast shipping is likewise impressive... So now
I can add to this list, customer service... It would appear
that you have the whole gamut covered, and are not lacking
in any aspect... Congratulations on running a great
operation...."

"I would just like to express just how I am so impressed
with my new Hayate 20 foot pole saw… I have a new chainsaw
in the garage, and this pole saw will keep it new for a long
time. I live in South Florida and this tool will come in
handy in the upcoming Hurricane season. I also plan to
purchase the Sugoi 360 as a complement to the pole saw. We
have palm, citrus, and many other kinds of trees on our
property and they all succumb to the "MIGHTY" Hayate. Thanks
again for the awesome saw."

"I have received my saw [Hayauchi 21-Feet] that I
ordered. I didn't waist anytime getting it out of the box as
soon as UPS delivered it. It cut down all the limbs that I
needed to reach and beyond with ease. Now, if you only sold
a tool that would haul them off with just as much ease.
Thanks for having such a great product available to the
non-professional."

"I finally bought one. I was impressed. The current
pruning saws I were using seemed like stone age tools
compared to my Silky Super Accel. The first day I had it I
took it out to work on a snowshoe trail that I have. I cut
dead dry oak limbs something that never would have dreamed
of using other saws. It's like using fine precision tool,
high quality and well made. Thank you for such a product."

"I just got a PocketBoy 170 and I'm very impressed. I saw
the ad in Outside Magazine and I thought it would be good to
carry on backpacking trips - light and useful for cutting
firewood. Boy is it ever. I recently used it in the
backcountry and was amazed at how easily this little saw cut
through even large logs. My fellow backpackers were envious.
I also can't say enough good things about the customer
service at Silky. It was very helpful and responsive to my
needs. Thanks for making a superior product!"

"I've been tree farming for eight years and have done a
lot of side-branch pruning with 13" handheld saws made by
Fanno and Corona, and I thought they were just fine until I
stumbled across my first Silky last year. It's a 6' Nobita
that offers a couple of real benefits compared to the other
saws - the Silky blades cut very well with less pressure
required and leave super smooth finished cut surfaces, and
the handle eliminates the need for me to lean over and into
the tree - often fighting through branches to get to the
trunk to make the pruning cut. I'm a big fan of the Silky
saw - and now that I've found your store with the exciting
selection, and I see how responsive you are to questions and
to filling orders, I plan to be a lifelong customer since
I'll be working my plantation about that long."

"Received the saws today. I used the first ones I got and
it's incredible. If I can afford it I will buy all types
even just for looks. This is more fun than buying jewelries.
These silky saws are a lot better than the power saws
(electric and gas) without the extra weight."
I. Cruz
Poway, CA
"Just got my Zubat330, amazing. First, it is the coolest
looking saw I have ever seen. The holster makes me feel like
a samurai warrior. It cuts so smooth and fast I get a little
scared. I'm not sure I will ever use my chainsaw again. Best
tool I ever bought next to my Stihl extension pole saw.
Everyone should own a Zubat. It makes the Corona look like
child’s play. I was out of town when it arrived; my son
called and said he and his friend were so excited they took
the liberty to "trim" the tree in the backyard. I couldn't
wait to get home and start cutting. My son is 17, so I knew
it must be really cool for him to call and tell me about it
since it takes a lot to impress him, other than girls of
course. I ordered off the website, and I found a few more
saws I may buy. I don't really need the other saws but they
are so cool I may not be able to resist."
J. Quick
Tucson, AZ
"Well now I've tried them all, Fanno, Bartlett, Corona
and even a few really cheap ones. Their is no comparison.
Silky beats them all "Hands Down"! They are stronger,
thicker, cut better and stay sharp longer. You've got me and
my crews for life."
D. Draper

"Just got my first Silky Zubat last week and I am
impressed. I had no idea a hand saw could work this well.
It's earned a permanent home in my truck. After using the
Zubat, I don’t think I could use another Wolf, Corona, or
Bahco."
R. Browning

"I ordered my first Silky Saw a few weeks ago: a large
teeth PocketBoy 170, and am very impressed. This is the best
made and fastest cutting small saw I've ever owned. We have
a small ranch, and I rarely walk out the door now without my
PocketBoy (in my pocket, of course!) …
A. Forsythe

"Silky saws! They are the best saws I have found,
extremely sharp and smooth cutting. Very fast, just make
sure you know where BOTH hands are! I doubt I will ever use
anything else. I've got a Super Accel that fits nicely in my
pocket on maintenance jobs, it's used a couple of times a
week."

"Purchased
the Pole Saw HAYAUCHI 390 16-Feet…a couple months back. This
pole saw is truly a professional saw, pruning tree limbs is
a shear pleasure. This is one of those pole saws you don’t
have to learn to use. Cutting 3 inch diameter limbs at four
feet overhead or eighteen foot overhead is fast and easy. I
am not a professional when it comes to pruning trees, I have
had extensive training in the way of pruning needs for the
home owner, this is an expensive saw for the average home
owner’s pruning needs, but well worth the money. I would
recommend a home owner invest their money in a SILKY saw
that fits their pruning needs. You don’t have to learn to
use the SILKY saws like many of the cheaper brands of saws.
Thanks for the HAYAUCHI Pole saw, can’t say enough about my
SILKY."
J. Robbins

"I have been very impressed with my silky saws. They
appear to be well built and come very sharp and ready to
use. I really like the multiple blade positions on the
folding saws. In all, they are top notch tools."
D. Baron
Jackson, MS
"I first became acquainted with Silky saws through a
fellow Arborist. I was so impressed with the performance
that I purchased a saw and replacement blades through his
company. With regards to the product, I like the saws for
the ease of handling, excellent performance, price, and
durability. I wouldn't consider purchasing any other
product."
W. Ortiz
Stelle, IL
"Silky are the best saws in the world! Enlarged nose tip
prevents saw pulling off branch on your back cut. Curved
blade cuts more of the wood with each pull (300mm good
size). Silky blades are super sharp and smooth, leaving
lovely clean cuts. Grippy, comfortable handle - sticks to
your hand… Thanks again!"
M. Evison
Derby,
England
"… I'm impressed! Spent about three hours on Friday
cutting back old limbs and overhang. I was expecting a
decent saw of high quality, but it one went beyond, both in
construction and ease of use. It was a joy to use compared
to a pole saw which I broke a couple of weeks earlier. The
cut is very smooth on each stroke, not just on the pull
stoke as my older saw."
R. Bennett
Tallahassee, FL
"Wow what a saw (about IBUKI)! This really is a
Mini-chainsaw! It's a great saw for limbing 1 inch to 6 inch
branches with ease. Be careful - this one's so sharp and
cuts so fast I about cut my finger off making the first
cut."
C. Corigliano
Spokane, WA
"I consider my Silky products some of the best in my
shed. I will be back to order more. I'm quite interested in
the upcoming release of the new pole saw. Thanks for your
terrific products and service."

"On the Methow Valley Ranger District (Okanogan and
Wenatchee National Forests) the trail crew has found the
Silky Gomboy 300mm to be a very useful tool. It allows us to
quickly clear small diameter trees from the trail, and its
light weight and compact size allows it to be kept easily
acceptable. This is our second year using the Silky Gomboy
300mm and we have been pleased with its performance."
L. McIver
Winthrop,

"...I have been very impressed with my Silky Saw F-180. I
am just amazed how sharp it stayed after all my cuttings!
Absolutely best folding saw I ever owned!! (and I tried
quite few of them)."

"I am the Trails Program Manager for the US Forest
Service on the Okanogan National Forest. Last year we
purchased Silky Gomboy 300… The saws have become a favorite
with our trail crew and volunteer trail groups…"
D. Rogers

"I bought a Zubat a few months ago, and absolutely love
it. When climbing trees, I would rather have just the Zubat
by my side than carry a heavy, and NOISY chain saw (which
does not really cut all that much faster). I have trimmed
dozens of trees with just my Zubat, and periodically cut
limbs up to 10" in diameter with it. Thank you for making
such a quality handsaw that helps to keep the noise level
down!"
K. Kraemer
McPherson,
KS
"Though I have tried a number of Silky Saws, both folding
and sheathed, my favorite has become the Gomboy 300mm
folding. For limbs up to wrist-diameter it has replaced my
top-handled chainsaw at 1/10th the price. Silky Saws are
phenomenal!"
J. Clark
Indianapolis, IN
"Just tried Pocket-Boy. It was just what I needed for
pruning in the nursery where I'm working. I use Silky saws
as well when I'm climbing in a tree. Keep going. Arborist

"I recently purchased a Hayauchi pole saw... This is a
formidable piece of equipment - solid, balanced, incredible
craftsmanship and a wicked sharp saw. Expensive, yes, but a
great value when you consider ease of use, integrity of
design and overall professional demeanor. Thanks!"
