The Silky Bigboy 2000 Outback Edition is a version of the Silky Bigboy designed specifically for hunters and bushcrafters. The curved saw blade has a length of 36 centimetres. This gives you a long reach and allows you to cut through tree trunks up to 18 centimetres thick without any problems. The curved blade helps you keep the saw effortlessly in the cut. For extra strength, you can use the saw with both hands at the same time.

Saw for bushcraft and hunting

So what is the difference between this saw and the regular Silky Bigboy? Silky has made the saw blade of this Bigboy Outback Edition thicker and stiffer, making it 100% outdoor-proof. A black coating of a nickel/tin mix has also been applied to the saw blade and teeth. This extends the life of the saw blade and delivers great cutting performance. Moreover, the colour of the saw blade is dark and non-reflective, making you less visible in the dark. Very handy when hunting. You lock the blade in two different cutting positions with the lock button. Is the saw retracted? Then the sharp saw teeth are safely covered in the handle. It comes complete with nylon zipped storage pouch.

Using the Silky Bigboy Outback Edition

The blade of this Silky saw is very hard. This makes it cut like no other, but it does require a bit of attention during use. This saw is a pull saw. This means the blade cannot bend like this during use. Be careful never to force the blade when moving forward. This puts you at risk of breakage. As with any saw: let the saw do the work and do not force anything. This will make you less likely to get tired and it benefits the life of the saw. By holding the handle at different points, you can control the wood removal. Holding close to the blade means little pressure on the blade and low wood removal. This allows you to saw very precisely and precisely. If you hold the handle further back, the pressure is greater and you cut faster, but less precisely.
