Silky Woodboy

This Woodboy is a preferred hand saw among professional woodworkers and is ideal for cross-cutting and miter cuts. The blade of this Kataba model is slightly thicker than that of the Dozuki. The reinforced back on the blade is not needed, which means the blade depth is not limited. The thin, flexible blade has a trapezoidal shape and is equipped with Silky’s unique tooth design. This ensures a fine, straight cut, perfect for dovetail joints. The blade is ground in a bi-concave shape to allow for good sawdust removal. The Woodboy cuts on the pull stroke, requiring minimal effort. You will be able to saw smoothly and with greater control, resulting in a silky finish. With proper use, sharpening will be rarely necessary. The blade can be locked in two different sawing positions. After use, the blade can be easily folded back, fully protecting the sharp teeth with the handle. This allows for safe storage of the saw without damaging the blade or the surroundings. The aluminum handle is covered with rubber, providing a good grip and reducing vibrations. The Woodboy is a saw that should always be kept nearby for the small, simple cuts that are required in any project.
