Two is one and one is none

I can't say for certain that the Outback Edition sawblade cuts more efficiently than the regular sawblade with medium teeth, but it should, at the very least, resist corrosion better & it is definitely a lot cooler-looking for only a small bump up in price. I've only ever snapped the blade on a Silky folding saw once in all the years I've been using them & it was due to user error: at the time, I was still unfamiliar with the nuances of using a Japanese-style saw that only cuts on the pull-stroke so I was ham-fistedly using it like a regular crosscut saw. I don't foresee needing a spare sawblade anytime soon (the impulse-hardened teeth on Silky's blades stay sharp for a very long time) but it's always good to have an extra blade handy, just in case—two is one and one is none, as the saying goes. Thanks to Axeman for quickly processing my order (and the free Axeman sticker!).

The best !

Realy like the coating on this verry sharp saw blade, love it

Peace of mind

Glad I found it at the same time I bought the Bigboy Outback. Outstanding Japanese quality. Hope I won’t need it anytime soon but I get a lot of comfort knowing I have the extra blade.

Cuts green wood very well
