Silky

Silky Collection - Japanese saws since 1919

Silky has been making saws since 1919. The company is based in Ono, in the Hyōgo prefecture, a region renowned in Japan for its forges and blades. Remaining in the same family's hands, it adopted the Silky name for all its products in 1983.

In 1985, the brand launched the Gomboy, a folding saw with a rubber-coated handle. The design set the standard, and the Gomboy remains a benchmark for both arborists and hikers. Like all Japanese saws, a Silky cuts on the pull: the blade works under tension, allowing for a thinner blade, a cleaner cut, and less effort.

At Outpost, the collection first covers folding saws: the 130 or 170 mm Pocketboy that fits in a day pack, the straight or curved Gomboy, the 360 mm Bigboy for firewood, the Ultra Accel and Super Accel for fast cutting, and the F180 with fine teeth. The Outback editions of the Bigboy, Gomboy Curve, and Pocketboy are designed for bushcraft.

For pruning and heavy-duty work, you'll find the Katanaboy fixed-case saws from 550 to 1000 mm, the Longboy, Forester, Gunfighter, and Yoki, as well as the Nata, a 240 mm Japanese billhook. The Hibiki Ryoba with double teeth and the Ono with a removable handle are aimed at woodworking. Replacement blades and Kawa cases allow you to keep your saw for a long time.
