Hand Saws
Silky handsaws come in several shapes and sizes to fit the needs of professional arborists, landscapers and gardeners as well as outdoor enthusiasts, campers and hunters. Choose from aggressively cutting curved blades or the more precise-cutting straight blade saws. Be aware of tooth size as this feature varies within saw models – fine teeth for smaller and delicate cutting chores, large teeth for fast cutting of larger wood. All Silky non-folding (and several folding) saws come with their own specially designed blade covering scabbard/holster for protection of blade and user.
Hand Saws
Curved Blade Saws
Curved blade saws are faster-cutting but give up some control when working in tight branch groupings. Most large Silky saw blades are fast cutting curve-shaped since they're likely to be aimed at big limbs.

Straight Blade Saws
Straight blade saws are easier to control and less likely to nick nearby branches than curved blades. Straight blades also enable the user to manipulate hinge wood for precision log felling techniques. Although incredibly smooth and efficient cutters, straight blades aren’t quite as fast cutting as their curved siblings.

Curved Blade Folding Saws
Curved blade saws are somewhat faster cutting than their straight counterparts because during the action the blade first creates a peak in the cut, then knocks it off.
|
Straight Blade Folding Saws
Straight blade saws are noticeably easier to control when cutting in and amongst tight growth (without nicking adjacent twigs) and allow user the ability to cut a straight hinge when felling weighty branches.
