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.
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...
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!!!
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.
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.
Thanks for showing these all. This info can help me choose what's best for my situation.
I'm glad it helps.
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.
Excellent video.
I’m looking for one and this video was very helpful.
Thank you, ken
I really like your channel man! thanks for the great test
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
Bought my Silky for $23 with free shipping and it came with a locking case. Great video comparing all these!
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.
Thank YOU!!!! This is exactly what I am looking for. Saw a few other helpful videos and have subscribed.
I'm glad it helped.
great comparison. Was glad I could find a good video on the corona. keep up the great work!
Bradley Macaulay Thanks Bradley.
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
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
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 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.
thanks for this video, this is the next purchase for my hiking day pack!
Excellent review as usual Brian!
srvctek1 Thanks.
Thanks for this. Good video. I've been shopping around for a GOOD saw, but wanted to know which are the better ones.
Great video and a fair test of their general build and cutting quality. Scott
Thanks. I appreciate it.
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.
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
Thanks for your efforts and sharing 👍🇬🇧
Thanks for comparing these.
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.
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
Nicely done. It's a very helpful video. Thanks.
I'm glad it helped.
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?
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
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.
Great comparison! Luv that Gomboy! Thanx!
Great review brian,i love the silky saws,you can also use your silky saws spine to throw sparks with your fire steel.
Wow that was cool. Good video Bryan!
Stanley Sprow Thanks Stanley. I hope you are having a great day after Christmas.
Thank you so much for posting !!!! I'm looking for a mid priced saw .
Glad to help
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.
Thanks, very helpful, Mike.
I'm glad it helped.
Great work on video mate greetings from Spain
Thanks
thank you so much for your hard work.. very honest evaluations..
***** I appreciate it.
I have the Corona after viewing a video on several saws and love it so far.
Thanks for watching.
Thanks I like your honesty
A Scout is Trustworthy
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.
Great video thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
They all look pretty good. better than the saw on my leatherman.. i was glad to have even that on an occasion or two.
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
Thanks for the video, sir
Thanks I just bought the Corona model using your link.
Thanks for the support!
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...helped me decide on a saw....thanks
I'm glad it helped.
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
Being a bushcraft Pro (unlike you Brian 😂😜🙊) I just karate chop all my wood; it's cheaper than buying a saw and no rust! (done the rust test by keeping my hands in a bucket of salty water for 4 days, then rubbing them in fresh herbs,egg,breadcrumbs & baking for 20 minutes on 250°C -no rust, how about that!Ha)
All righty then ;-)
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.
Very good, Thank you very much
I'm a happy Bahco Laplander user. Excellent saw.
Nice review. Thanks for sharing.
MrOldclunker Thanks!
Great video thanks!
Thanks. I appreciate it.
Great comparison!
Yo Adrian It was fun.
Thank you
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.
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!
I like the corona saw it does a great job
Thanks Brian!
+Jason Allen thank you
I have the same boots :) Good pair of Vasque. Terrible for Irish weather it turns out 😂. I slip on everything
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!
You did a great job,.. keep it up
I personaly own end prefer the Silkey Ultra Accel recurve with the biggest teeth,..
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 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"
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.
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.
great vid - we ride dirtbikes in colorado with the even cheaper fiskars - works in a pinch
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 really like my silky pocket boy. it's smaller but it does a good job for its size.
Cody Spagrud I bet it does.
I’ve got two of them. Bahco is my personal favorite right now. My Fiskers is relegated to the shed for yard work. Not bad. Not great. The corona is my next one to try out. It was indistinguishable from the silky in this test. Frankly, the silky has a reputation for being brittle. The risk of a broken blade means more to me than the chance I might spend another .2 seconds on a cut. The Colman is are hard pass for me. That latch is clever but poorly implemented. Good presentation by the way. I appreciate your efforts for an objective comparison but let’s be honest, there’s a lot of subjectivity in our selection process.
I have the Corona saw but with a curved blade I like it a lot!
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.
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.
Say Heah Brian, Yeah, I got the WoW Folding Saw, I also got the Scabbard with a extra saw blade. If it wasn't for your video at the Blade Show, I prolly wouldn't of known about it. I have to tip my hat to you. I really like it. But I also like my Wicked Tough Saw, and also my new Agawam Canyon 21 Boreal Saw, I got the Crazy Horse Scabbard for it too with a aggressive blade that I can store in the scabbard. I guess I like Saws too, because I also have a Bacho Laplander and a 10" Curved Corona. Oh, and my Silky Bigboy2000 with Sheath and my Wooden Handle Fiskar Folding Saw. I also got a Sheath for it too. I like to carry at least a saw along with my knife and my canteen. I practice with certain carries and I know adding a Folding Saw on your survival belt isn't too much weight. But a wonderful tool to have on you if you somehow get separated from your pack or camp. My most recent combination is my S. O. G. Pillar Fix Blade in the CPM S35Vn, my Wicked Tough Saw and my 2Hawks Double Bit Hatchet. Yeah, a Lite Carry, Infact I can carry all three on person, plus my canteen. But Thanx You on the WoW Folding Saw.,,. p
Seems like a good saw
silky's are awesome especially with the larger teeth (deeper cut tooth pattern) option, you get what you pay for. i have the relatively huge silky bigboy 2000 and it does what a bucksaw can do in my opinion. SILKY ALL THE WAY
+tillyoudiefromit I think the Silky is a great saw for sure
Silky....best by a fairly wide margin. All are good saws.
Jerry Morris Yes, they are.
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'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
Bud... you just made a man sawing wood interesting to watch. Thank you sir!
CoastalBackWoods Thanks. I'm glad you liked it.
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.
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.
Great video! Amazing what you can get for 20 bucks these days
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.
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
The one thing you forgot to compare in these saws: The teeth! The Gomboy has 3 or 4 sizes and if the others also have different sizes; then you need all the saws to have the same teeth.
Grandpa Bill I know but all I had to go in was the description when I ordered it. This on was listed as Medium teeth so I figured it would be a decent comparison. Like I've said a few times, any of these will get the job done. Even the Coleman cuts pretty good. I just thought this would be an interesting and, hopefully, helpful video.
My Fiskars saw has lasted for years and years. It's good quality for the price and if you take care of it it should last a good long while.
Thanks for the video, I have a Corona Razor Tooth that I like a lot....
Good saw
I use the Coleman, has never let me down.
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.
;-)
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.
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
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
Nice video. 🍺👍
Thanks!
