31 for bacco, 37 for coleman, 36 for fisker, 27 for corona & 26 for the silky - I counted complete strokes.
Still Silky #1
Robert Watson I have found the same.
also consider the corona is $10 less than the silky, can be found at any Lowes and performs just as good if the stroke count is correct, 1 stroke difference isn't a big difference
isn't that true for every saw? i've had a corona for awhile, don't use it everyday but for a while now and it hasn't dulled yet and still performs great.
Survival On Purpose "by a pretty good margin"? ... Yeah whatever shill vid.
Excellent video.
I’m looking for one and this video was very helpful.
Thank you, ken
Thanks for showing these all. This info can help me choose what's best for my situation.
I'm glad it helps.
I really like your channel man! thanks for the great test
hi good test
i have the silky gomboy 270 and 210
both are awesome saws, great build quality and the handle give maximum grip
also availabile in fine, medium and large teeth
the 210 is in my bug out bag and the 270 is for home use
i like them
greetings from germany
Thank YOU!!!! This is exactly what I am looking for. Saw a few other helpful videos and have subscribed.
I'm glad it helped.
Thank you for taking the time to review these saws Brian...
+UrbCrafter thanks for taking time to watch
Your welcome Man...
great review - just about to buy a folder - your video made my mind up for me - cheers Brian - all the best from Scotland ;-)
Glad it helped.
As a woodsman, survivalist, bushcrafter of over20 years IV used every saw you showed. All have their place but in my opinion silky is awesome! I have the big boy, the gomboy, and the pocket boy curve. My favorite is the pocket boy curve for most things with the gomboy as my second fav.
Good job you do on testing saws and knives... I'm thinking about a folding saw, your clip sure sure helps me to decide..
I'm glad it helped.
It's probably already been mentioned, but the Bahco can be used to saw through Bone, and it will NOT ruin the blade. The Bahco sacrifices cutting efficiency on woody materials for the durability to cut through thick bones on game animals if the need arises.
Or, God Forbid, your own bones...
thanks for this video, this is the next purchase for my hiking day pack!
Bought my Silky for $23 with free shipping and it came with a locking case. Great video comparing all these!
thank you for the time and effort (elbow grease) to show us these handy little saws. nice job.!
+Stacy Cornett it was a fun video to make
great comparison. Was glad I could find a good video on the corona. keep up the great work!
Bradley Macaulay Thanks Bradley.
Great video and a fair test of their general build and cutting quality. Scott
Thanks. I appreciate it.
Thanks for the comparison it really helps a good hand saw is always there for you.
I'm glad it helped.
@Survival on Purpose, thank you for the great review. The video gives me clear message about folding saw and make me more confident to choose one of them. Now i have none of them but already bought on amazon. From 1st to 3rd winner i choose the last one. I like the color, the form, the size and the push button locking mechanism style, lock the blade firmly.
Hope you always have great days over there, greeting from a country with over 700 local language & 13466 islands.
I'm glad it helped.
Thanks for comparing these.
Excellent review as usual Brian!
srvctek1 Thanks.
Thanks for your efforts and sharing 👍🇬🇧
Thanks for this. Good video. I've been shopping around for a GOOD saw, but wanted to know which are the better ones.
I have a Bahco Laplander. I have only tested it in the backyard pruning a tree. But I am very impressed. I see no need to try any other saws.I really like the push button. It makes it easy to open. I can even flip it open with one hand.
Bahco makes a good saw.
Thank you so much for posting !!!! I'm looking for a mid priced saw .
Glad to help
I’ve owned every single one of those saws. I owned two of the bahcos. And now all I own are silkys. Nothing works better. Nothing is more reliable. And nothing is more sturdy. Plus the door locking position for different blade cutting angles is phenomenal. And depending on the model they offer 4 to 8 different aggressive teeth sizes. Superfine wood crafting to I just need to stack firewood. More variety and versatility for not that much money and field expedient blade swapping. Don’t waste your money on anything else unless you only have $12 to spend on a saw. And with silky you can get from a 5 inch to a 45 inch blade. One for your pocket, one for your pack and one for your snowmobile, four wheeler or truck. Best on the market.
Which one are you recommending?
Bahco-it wont break, Ever!!!
Wow that was cool. Good video Bryan!
Stanley Sprow Thanks Stanley. I hope you are having a great day after Christmas.
You did a great job,.. keep it up
I personaly own end prefer the Silkey Ultra Accel recurve with the biggest teeth,..
Great review brian,i love the silky saws,you can also use your silky saws spine to throw sparks with your fire steel.
Very helpful and informative. Thank you Bryan.
charles laskowski What kind of bow saw are you talking about Charles? I would like to get one. I totally agree a bow saw is much more functional, just usually less packable. I have a Sven saw but it is really only capable of cutting slightly larger logs than a folding saw.
John Hufnagel Thank you John.
charles laskowski If you get a chance that would be great. I like the sound of it.
yes
I love my Corona,it is the next size up from the one you have.I have mine for over a year and it still cuts like new and has a curve blade to
Thanks finally a review that was worth watching and easy music
Thanks. I appreciate it.
I just purchased the Laplander . Can't wait to get it . Great vid Brian .
pmags1331 You'll want to go cut something as soon as you get it. Ask me how I know?
Nicely done. It's a very helpful video. Thanks.
I'm glad it helped.
Great comparison! Luv that Gomboy! Thanx!
Great review mate i like the bahco myself and i have a cheap one as well does the job
SCOTTISH WANDERER Honestly, I think they all get the job done. Some are obviously a little better than others and I'm sure some last longer. I just wanted to show the different saws and do as objective comparison as I could. Thanks for taking time to watch.
Thanks, very helpful, Mike.
I'm glad it helped.
Great work on video mate greetings from Spain
Thanks
They all look pretty good. better than the saw on my leatherman.. i was glad to have even that on an occasion or two.
I myself own a Silky Pro BIGBOY 360mm for when I need to process a lot of wood and I own a Bahco Laplander as a basic survival saw. The Bahco can be used to saw through bone plus it is a push/pull saw which reduces the likelyhood that you will break it. Silky saws are great but they tend to snap if you use them incorrectly. Whereas a Bahco just bends, and can be bent back into shape with a pair of pliers. I've never seen anybody snap a Bahco.
Great review vid.I have a cheap Coghlan's, which is more inline with a coleman, but that Silky does look nice! thanks
A Day Late If it works, it works.
Great review, I like my Corona a lot... Works very well and like I have said before, I have had it for almost three years and hasn't failed me yet!!! Thanks Bryan...
Central Oregon Survival Network Sounds like a keeper.
Yes it is Bryan...
atb Todd
I've owned and used Corona's for years and would use no other. To me they are the best and stay sharp for ever. Have used one for ten years and bought two extra blades in case it got dull and have not had to change the blade yet and use it almost everyday. Very impressed ! Thanks for the video.
They seem to be very good saws
Corona is decent and not over rated like the silly.
I find that hard to believe, I have plenty of Corona tools and they are crap quality
@@Gadmeer - what's wrong with Silky?
Lol
Thanks for the video, sir
I have the Corona after viewing a video on several saws and love it so far.
Thanks for watching.
Have to say I have had my Bahco for ten years still sharp and the lock has never failed I also like the coated blade but as you say each to their own
+Lee B choices are good
Unless you only use it for a few minutes once or twice a month there's no way you've had it 10 years and its still sharp unless you've replaced the blade several times.
thank you so much for your hard work.. very honest evaluations..
***** I appreciate it.
Thanks I just bought the Corona model using your link.
Thanks for the support!
Nice review. Thanks for sharing.
MrOldclunker Thanks!
This was an excellent review. I have been looking for something like this. I'm outfitting four family bug out bags and I need to make a decision on the saws. I really like the small Silky saws but I have also had good luck with the Fiskars (and it is cheaper than the Silkys). This gives me a lot to think about.
+outbackeddie The reality is they all work pretty good.
The Bacho has never failed me. A few seconds cutting is no big deal. A test on how long they stay sharp would be better. You can get a great price for the Silky at Bailey's I think I will order one, Great video though. I will sub.
Yeah id agree on that like which saw will stay the sharpest over a period of time,id say silky will be superior champion.
@@kennywheelus6857 until it snaps
They are brittle
@@GadgetMart If you let the saw make his job and not push down they will not snap.
Great video...helped me decide on a saw....thanks
I'm glad it helped.
I haven't seen you for awhile posting new survival clips ? I enjoyed the posting of tests you did on blades, knives and just plain survival .. you do good...
I do my best ;-)
You do well... What you showed about folding saws told me a lot .. I didn't want a model that wouldn't last or hold up under use of cutting wood .. Silky i i have read about but so far i don't know anyone who has one here up in the Pacific Northwest.. good job
I did tree work as a climber for a master arborist and then on my own for a small group of clients. Silky is my choice. I have a lot of "miles" on original blades on my Ibuki, Katanaboy, and Hayauchi pole saw. They weren't cheap at the outset, but over the years without ever having to be resharpened they've proven to be a bargain. They have impulse hardened teeth with the rest being so flexible they are almost impossible to damage even if things go awry and they get twisted. I'd also add that the Katanaboy in a lot of cases does the job of a climb saw (chainsaw), even on oak. I love my silkys. Pay the extra, and get a great saw that will outlast and out perform the others. Besides testing the cutting ability and locking mechanisms, it would have been good to bury the saw in the wood and jack it sideways to see how the cheaper ones snap or get bent. Accidents happen.
I agree about Silky
HELLO from Oklahoma!"Silky" are overrated, to many are caught in the brand thing. With knives, packs, etc. I've been doing this stuff for so long, before silkys, ESEE were even on the scene. Be careful about all this. There is some Great equipment out there that doesn't cost a fortune. Great review. God Bless!!!
I don't know why people say that?? I've now used both and the silly is good but this over rated goodness.. Whatever youtube sheep
Thank you for comparison. It would be awesome if you also showed how cut looks from each of saw. Also would be good if that comparison was done on fresh cutted branch. The reason im interested - i like trees and gardens, so for me not only speed plays but also quality of cut. Thayyou very much
Hey Brian, I just watched this older video for the first time so I don't know if this tip could still be helpful. But, here it goes. If you are worried about the silky opening in your pack just put a twist tie through the hole in the blade and secure it around the handle.
Thanks!
Good side by side comparison of some excellent folding saws. Judging by the ease of use, price, and the quality of the tools, I'll keep my Corona. Thank you for your videos.
Thanks for watching.
Being a landscaper in the UK I can say the silky F180 is amazing. It lasts for ages before blade goes dull.
and ford f150 is amazinger
Bryan if I have learned anything about folding saws from this channel. .. the first rule is to have one, any one. I learned that on my first fatwood search and find. Hope you had a Merry Christmas and that Gerber package opener aced it for you. Happy New Year!
Jake Riethmeier I had a very Merry Christmas Jake. I hope you did too. And, yeah, the package opener works great. Why didn't we come up with that one a long time ago?
Heck I don't know that bugger makes quick work of them blister packs that are so hard to get open.
Thanks Brian!
+Jason Allen thank you
Very good, Thank you very much
My Coleman does the same thing with the locking mechanism. It pops out every time. I now have a Corona Razor Tooth and it works great. Thanks for the demo. It was scientific enough.
Thanks!
I thinking of getting that Silky looks really nice. I think a ranger band would make me feel better about it maybe opening in my pack. Thanx for the side by side comparison.
Oregon Misfit A folding saw pouch from the Hidden Woodsman works even better.
great vid - we ride dirtbikes in colorado with the even cheaper fiskars - works in a pinch
I have the same boots :) Good pair of Vasque. Terrible for Irish weather it turns out 😂. I slip on everything
Thanks I like your honesty
A Scout is Trustworthy
Great video thanks!
Thanks. I appreciate it.
Thank you for your review.. I personally own an eight and a half inch Corona... And I also own A 1517 inch curved Fiskars I'm 70 years old I have a tree down in my yard what two and a half inch branches here in Pennsylvania... And I did not get the chainsaw out and they work great to the wood that I
I have several limbs down in my yard after yesterdays "blizzard" here in Georgia
Great video Bryan, I actually got the Coleman for Christmas, really like it so far. The only negative I see is it doesn't lock closed but a rubber band fixed that for me.
Jerome Kukurugya I actually think all these saws get the job done Jerome. I just though it would be fun to do a little competition. Who knows how they will stack up if I do it again after using them a while.
Very true, I was hoping Santa would bring the Bahco but happy to have a new saw in the kit nonetheless.
I'm a happy Bahco Laplander user. Excellent saw.
Thank you
Great video thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
Great comparison!
Yo Adrian It was fun.
Was thinking of getting an Opinel saw for how compact they are but I might have to look at these again now.
+jelkel25 I would like to check out the Opinel myself, just because it is cool.
I have the Corona and like it. The Bahco seems to be the TH-cam third place saw in terms of performance but for pure aesthetics and subjective reasons people prefer it over the corona. The other saw that I believe is neck and neck with the Corona is the Silky. I have a Silky Ultra Accel and the only reason I purchased it in addition to the Corona is due to construction. The Silky has a metal frame and is more durable. This is especially true in freezing below 10 degrees where the plastic Corona handle will become brittle and break when dropped or under heavy force.
I have the Corona saw but with a curved blade I like it a lot!
Thank You for the saw showdown I have the 10 inch Corona which is cheaper than the silky.
They cost around $19.98 at lowes.
I've got that Corona at home for pruning. I like it quite a bit. Very aggressive blade
May have to look into that Silky for a truck/pack saw.
+Tanner Anders Both are good saws
Good comparison video, I wish you had used the Corona 10" instead, that is my fav and the only one I use. Got it for $17 I think. Keep up the great vids
DelawareDuff I was trying to keep it as close to apples to apples as I could. As I've said, they all did a pretty good job, even the Coleman. There's really no reason not to have a saw in your pack.
I'm with ya there, never catch me out without one lol
I really like my silky pocket boy. it's smaller but it does a good job for its size.
Cody Spagrud I bet it does.
Thanks for the video, I have a Corona Razor Tooth that I like a lot....
Good saw
I've only ever used the Silky. It works so well I haven't considered trying a different one that might make me less tireder!
Seventh Seal Like they say "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"
Well, for the money I have to think that the Corona is probably the best buy, for efficiency in cutting for the cost, It definitely seemed to throw bigger chips when you were cutting. The Gomboy is a sweet saw, but I guess you get what you paid for. Good work Brian, keep 'em coming.
Greyman Zink I think they all, with the possible exception of the Coleman , would be good choices.
Good review. I had a Coleman just like that one 10 years ago and it didn't perform nearly as well as what I saw you get out of it. I have used a Corona ever since. I have always been tempted to try a Silky, but I'm too cheap. You saved me some money possibly.
MrJoeyBoombotz I think they all did pretty good.
what would interest me more is how good they cut after being used a lot and how easy /hard they are to maintain.
silkys for examples cant be resharpened and are "throwaway" saws
@Loco Raindrops what to do with gasoline irritation
They’re “replace the blade” saws lol
@@ikaika7878 replace the "saw" saws xD
Of you can get a cheap saw that can be resharpened, disassemble your folding saw and trace the template onto the saw. Cut out the replacement making sure to line up all the holes for the pivot and lock and you're good to go. Angle grinder/dremel tool, a drill, center punch and you can swap it out.
They sell replacement blades.
Great video! Amazing what you can get for 20 bucks these days
Great review...I stand by my corona, especially for the price.
It is a good saw
it was a bad idea
I like the corona saw it does a great job
My Corona 10" Razor Tooth Folding Saw is 7 years old and still cutting. Definitely my favorite folding saw.
Yeah you dont need the dumb silky i use the bahco. They bend and dont break
@@suspicioustumbleweed4760 The dumb silky? Lol sounds like you're butthurt that you can't saw correctly and snapped your blade
Or you don't want to dish out the extra money for the superior cutting performance. Don't get me wrong, I love my bahco, but I love my gomboy 240 a little more.
Excellent review - certainly helps with decision-making. Not surprised about the Coleman. Not even a little.
Shoto Kido Me either really but I was hopeful.
lol...you're such a generous soul.
;-)
We have tried the silky vs the Bahco on fat rood. The silky plugged up and stopped cutting, where the Bahco kept on keepin on! I have both the green handle and the bright orange handle Bahco. I have heard rumors they both have different blades. Do you have any insight into this? Bahco is push/pull teeth and Silky is only pull which in my book is effort waster and the Silky blade is thinner. I have heard of Silkys breaking where not so with Bahco. Both are gr8 saws.
I haven't looked real close to the Laplander but I believe the teeth are finer or a little closer together which would probably help with finer work like making a fire board for a bow drill or other task that may require a little more care, I prefer the Silky myself and own one but this was brought to my attention and I didn't really think about the finer work. Maybe something to look at and maybe not, LOL Good review and I agree with the outcome as I own a Corona as well. Love it also!!
Thanks for watching.
If any saw does what you want it to it's a good saw. The backs of any of these saws will make good wood scrapings. Good video, Thank you.
Thanks.
I'd go for the Silky and in fact that's what I'm going to get. Cheers, a great a fair video challenge. Take care
The Silky is great
I have used Silky folding saws for a number of years. I, too, wish they had blade retention in the closed position. I just keep a ranger band on the saw when it is closed........
I got a dollar general folding saw for $4.00 this past summer and it's great so far.. it locks in both positions, the blade doesn't extend into the lanyard hole and it cuts very well. the question is, is the blade steel of a quality and temper that it will last a long time. I'd guess no, but for 4 bucks and if you've got a saw tooth set tool it's fine.
Ibpn Maybe I'll check that one out soon.
Thanks for the heads up.
Survival On Purpose I also like the DG saw it works great for 4 bucks
I don't know if I'd use a dollar store tool. Health is more important than saving $11 mainly because it is made in China and likely has the warning 65 on it because it is toxic.
Great comparison, I like the weight of Bhaco but the corona 10" its better and faster(I have 4 on my use colection folding saws), thanks for the vid
Paco Flores Thanks Paco.
Thank You for the: “Shoot-Out”, but 2/10 ths., 1/5th. of a Second DOES NOT make a Decisive Difference unless one’s traveling at the speed of light, so, going with the DECISIVELY MORE EXPENSIVE SAW is all you’ve accomplished..., that’s about what?? Almost 5-Times as much as the Runner Up at ((9.4)) Seconds!?
I have the bahco laplander and recently purchased a komelon pwc-300 12" and yet to use this saw. It is a fixed blade and cuts on the backstroke. Can you give more info on this saw if you know. I am subbed. Thanks for sharing.
I never even heard of it
Thank you! I want to outfit my canoe trips with the best gear.
I hope it helps
Great review! I want to buy the Silky, but there are so many varieties! Which one is the one you used.
There is straight or curved, 210 or 240mm; fine, medium or large teeth!
Thanks!
This one was the straight 210 Gomboy
