Replacement Blades are available (use the dropdown option)
Silky Pocketboys are a key piece of my basic gardening kit - so compact and so convenient, they fit neatly and unobtrusively into pockets, pouches, or holsters.
This red-handled model has extra large teeth, designed to be used primarily on green wood - this makes it great for garden renos and site clearing, hiking and camping too!
Unlike North American saws that cut on the push stroke, Japanese saws cut on the pull stroke. A different sawing motion is required and you should know that the blades can be snapped through incorrect use. Click here for Sawing Tips & Saw Care.
