Great video and info. I would like to add something to consider about the second notch within the spine of the saw blade. This second notch also prevents the user from scraping their fingers and knuckles on the ground when cutting something.
bought 240 not long ago, will buy big boy as soon as i get paycheck. just LOVE silky saws (and since i spend a lot of time in nature, those saws are god sent too), works fantastic together with small axe :)
Thanks for touching on the axe debate, they’re great, but on short trips you’re generally not splitting anything bigger than kindling, something a saw and good knife can handle fine. If you’re going on long trips or with a few people then an axe is worth the weight.
I love my Silky Saws. The 2nd notch and the one not commonly used, is actually better suited for sawing below the belt. Keeps the angle of the blade from going into the ground.
Fantastic video, its great that you impart the importnce of the resposible outdoor life, love the silky saw & just bought that based on this video, thanks again
Great video once again Joe. Thanks for sharing knowledge of the Swedish forrest and of course of the silky. Had to buy one now, it's time for retirement for laplander 👍
I like the combination of Silky Saws and Gransfors Bruks, and have a couple of Silky Big Boy Outback's, a Gomboy Outback and an F-180. With a Gransfors Bruks Mini Hatchet, Wildlife Hatchet and Small Forest Axe, I can pair the most appropriate Silky and GB to whatever my needs or preferences may be. The Mini Hatchet and F-180 make for a very lightweight pair, suitable for inclusion in an emergency kit (I prefer the term emergency kit over survival kit). Invariably, the Mini or Wildlife Hatchet and Big Boy Saw are my preferred duo. My Small Forest Axe and Silky Big Boy Outback Saw live in the boot of my car. I started out with a Gerber Sportsman Saw, the lightest saw I've ever known, and whilst Gerber no longer make that little gem, the Silky F-180 is its superior successor!
Just an FYI to everyone living in Sweden: unless you are the owner of the land, or have gotten permission from the owner, you are not allowed to cut down ANY trees at all, even if they're dead and you're not allowed to harvest fallen trees either.
Hey, my name is Lobo and im Just recently getting into Bushcraft. I researched this saw and thought of getting my wife to get it for me for Christmas. As I was researching, I came across your video. Great video brother. Keep up the great work and awesome videos. I just subscribed to your channel. Looking forward to following you guys!!!
Good Vid Bro, relaxed talking about skills and tricks, like that, you got a new follower. I bought the 240 yesterday, I can´t wait for holding the saw in my hands. I got other Silky too, but this one seems to be something special.Greets from germany. Rob
what model [Fjallraven][Not Fjallraven] Jacket is that? I've looked all over on the (US) sites and can't find it anywhere. Thank you for the video! Edit: It looks like it may not be a Fjallraven . . . . had to spy that sleeve logo pretty close.
Hey ! Sorry for the late response but the summer got really busy. The jacket is made by a Finnish company called Sasta and the model is the Roihu trekking jacket. Hope it help some Joe
@@LivingtoLearn Thank you so much! It’s a fantastic jacket and I’d be embarrassed to admit how much time I’ve spent trying to figure out what make/model it is. Thank you!
Got the Silky Big Boy and it’s an essential piece in my kit, the axe is too much work , the useful tool is a splitting maul, the orange handle is a better choice in my opinion, and the bitey front is what you need to grab resilient material
@@LivingtoLearnHow do the two compare? I'm having trouble deciding what one to buy...I assume the big boy will burn less calories and process more wood; but I'm looking to be able to pack it in a canoe so the size of the Gomboy appeals to me. Having never seen either in person your opinion would be appreciated. 👍 Great vid!
It does if you have never used one before. It is a tool meant for arborists. Most blade breaks are usually from the transition People make from a regular push-pull saw to just a pull saw. I personally have never broke a blade. But I took my time to.get used to them at the start.
Great review and leave no trace, stewardship philosophy. What are your thoughts on the bigboy2000 and the outback version pros and cons? Is it worth upgrading for the price etc? Thanks 👍
Will this blade replace a normal bigboy 2000 xl tooth blade? I wanna get this instead of the normal replacement but idk if it'll fit. Looks the same other than the plating and such.
3:45 to get at it... (BTW, I bought one while watching your video, It will arrive after Christmas... thanks for the review!)
Awesome ! And thank you for the time stamp. I'll pin this post. Have a good Christmas 🤜🏼🤛🏼
Silky saw is the best. I got one for twenty years and still sharp.
I agree. They are a hard one to beat
such vast knowledge. ive learned alot just from watching this video alone. thank you very much sir. best wishes from Australia
That means a lot Leo 🤜🏼🤛🏼 hope you find more knowledge in the future vids to use on your journey outdoors. 🙏
Joe
Corporal sent me! Great content.
Mate, what an outstanding review! Thanks a lot.
Fantastic informative video Joe! Will have to look into getting this special edition.
Thanks Katie! Your killing it on your outdoor journey

Much better video than it needed to be.
Informative and interesting. You covered some of the key features which others have not. I especially liked how you explained how it actually cuts!
I love the way you respect the nature!!! 🌲🌲🌲
Need to keep it for everyone to enjoy. Thanks for watching 🤜🏼🤛🏼

Love your focus on preserving nature and it's inhabitants environment 👍🙏
Thank you ! Something I would love to see in most outdoor videos. Would change so much.
A nature lover. Thanks for the info. It was a bit educational. I appreciate your cognizance and consideration for the outdoors mate.
Riktigt bra video. Informativ och rogivande
Tusen tack snälla 😀🙏
Wonderful video and very informative! Please, keep making them!
Great explanation Joe, I just ordered my Outback edition
Only seeing this now. Tell me how your getting along with it ?
@@LivingtoLearn I only can get the Bigboy, the other 2 models are out of stock. The bigboy outback is awesome.
love the message, thanks for sharing 🙏

Informative and interesting video.
Man, you are such a good talker, made me want to buy this thing just because of that.

Means a lot Derrick. Thank you 🙏

Good point to using a saw. Keep in mind an ax also can work as a knife if your knife should break. Great video. Subscribed.
Loved your video
Glad you enjoyed it ! More on the way now that restrictions mean I can get back at it

You are very knowledgeable, you should have more subscribers you earned my Sub!
That means a lot ! Thank you
THANK YOU 😍💯%💣💣💣
Very welcome 🤜🏼🤛🏼
I bought the Gomboy before this came out. Dang.
So did I 🤣
Don’t worry. They’ll come out with a model 3000 in a year or two.
@@LivingtoLearnHow do the two compare?

I heard that the blade easily breaks.
It does if you have never used one before. It is a tool meant for arborists. Most blade breaks are usually from the transition People make from a regular push-pull saw to just a pull saw. I personally have never broke a blade. But I took my time to.get used to them at the start.
Great review and leave no trace, stewardship philosophy. What are your thoughts on the bigboy2000 and the outback version pros and cons? Is it worth upgrading for the price etc? Thanks 👍
The way you explained makes me feel “i wanna buy it now!”… damn expensive bruh 😆
Never stay in front of pacman, of course 👍
I can't find a single hunter who has reviewed this saw to tell me how it holds up to cutting bone long term.
Stop comparing a fcking saw with a axe !
I am preparing calories per tool and wether it's necessary for hobbiest. Thanks for watching 👌🏼
Will this blade replace a normal bigboy 2000 xl tooth blade? I wanna get this instead of the normal replacement but idk if it'll fit. Looks the same other than the plating and such.
It's the same blade, other than it's nickel coated, my man / Joe
@@inforestsandlands Wicked, thanks.
