Silky Pocketboy 340-17 Folding Saw - 170 mm blade, black rubber handle

Overview

Nicknamed the "Little Giant" for its remarkable cutting capacity, the Silky Pocketboy 340-17 folding saw is the compact reference tool for pruning, gardening, and outdoor activities. Made in Japan, it combines a straight 170 mm SK-4 carbon steel blade with a non-slip black rubber handle, the color code for the medium tooth pitch. Folded, it measures just 210 mm and fits anywhere, from a jacket pocket to a glove compartment.

Use and Maintenance

To store the saw, unlock the lever and fold the blade back into the handle. Opening is easy, even with gloves on. After each use, wipe the blade to remove sap and resin; a cloth soaked in olive oil is an effective eco-friendly solution. A clean blade ensures clean cuts and preserves the tool's lifespan. If worn, the blade can be replaced by loosening a single screw.
