Detailed Review
The Silky PocketBoy 170mm Folding Saw is a portable cutting tool built for outdoor enthusiasts, gardeners, and property owners who need a compact saw on the go. Its folding build fits into pockets, toolboxes, glove boxes, and backpacks, offering a practical cutting option for yard upkeep, hunting, and outdoor tasks without taking up valuable gear space.
At the center of the tool is a 6.75-inch (170mm) taper-ground blade with a 1.4mm thickness and a medium tooth configuration of 8.5 teeth per inch (10 teeth per 30mm). The blade features rust-resistant hard chrome plating alongside impulse-hardened, non-set teeth that support a maximum cut capacity of 3.4 inches. For added versatility, the saw locks into two distinct open positions, allowing you to choose between standard in-line cutting and awkward flush cuts against flat surfaces.
While the compact footprint makes it easy to carry, the 3.4-inch cutting capacity and 6.75-inch blade length mean it is restricted to small-to-medium branches and lighter trimming tasks. In addition, while the listing highlights a lightweight profile, it does not state the exact tool weight, and you are limited to the medium tooth configuration provided.
Verdict: The Silky PocketBoy 170mm is a solid choice for gardeners, hunters, and campers who need a compact folding saw for pruning and small branch maintenance. If you work primarily within its 3.4-inch cut capacity, its two-position lock and dedicated belt case deliver dependable convenience in the field.
