GomBoy 240mm Folding Saw, Medium Teeth (121-24)

Last verified by the Lifetime Picks Editorial Team

Why we picked it

Impulse-hardened Japanese teeth cut fast and clean on the pull stroke

Made in: Japan

The Silky GomBoy 240mm is the folding saw that turned r/Bushcraft, r/arborists, and r/BuyItForLife into Silky evangelists. Japanese pull stroke design and precision ground, impulse hardened teeth cut on the draw with shocking speed and clean edges, slicing through green limbs and seasoned firewood that would stall a typical hardware store saw. The 240mm medium tooth blade is the do everything size, and it is Silky's best selling saw worldwide for good reason. The locking handle is comfortable and secure, and when a blade finally dulls after years of work, you replace just the blade rather than the whole saw. That replaceable blade design plus genuine cutting performance is what earns it heirloom status among people who saw for a living.
