Helpful video. The real test, however, is a comparison on hardwood. On soft wood it's like comparing which bullet passes easiest through paper. The will both do well. A hardwood like Hickory will go from wood to something like cutting a pipe. So that's why I say a hardwood test would be more telling.

@McHenryAnge yup, thats why i used dry ash, which is pretty much the english equivelent of hickory.

What is the TPI of the blades? I notice the Silky saws have a choice of 4 different TPI from 7 to 22.

Great review thanks. I have a Laplander but I bought a Silky SUPER ACCEL 210 based on your review here and I love it, it's so good I bought a Silky Bigboy also, it's big enough to cut serious logs for a serious wintertime fire

what is the price on this knife with the sheath with a wood handle?

my weapon s of choice ARS G18 or my pocket saw the ARS 210DX! ( also have loads of fixed blade sawsi use pro) the new pull saws also cut a little on the push just not as much as on the pull its done as its easyer to cut on the pull not to do with the metal ! great honest review keep up the gd work !

[stm280480]

silky will do better in the harder wood due to having more finer teeth and will last longer! the laplander was good in its day ! however the new jap saws are great ! the pocket boy is not the saw id have picked to compare it with as it is heavy in comparison se as you concluded the silky is only a little better after u take te price and everything into it ! maybe the silky f180 ?

Really nice vid, I just ordered a laplander a couple days ago ;)

Good video. I've never used a folding saw and was quite suprised at how quickly they cut. I can definitely see how they are much more effecient at that type of task than a knife.

Really really good video Josh. The Laplander is an outstanding tool! If you know where to look you can pick them up for as low as £7!!! Also the Pocket Boy in the first test might have cut cleaner & faster because there was no weight from the tree pushing down on to the blade.

Hi. Can you get replacement blades for the silky saw? If how much?

[drumgodtim]

Nice comparison...thx!!! 4 my needs and uses the laplander us top notch, but it is always good to know of good alternatives. Thx again!!!

[TheNeedyCat]

@siberianfury yeah i probably will be, it was my first year this year and i loved it , i will defiantly be back next time

Great review. I would think the Laplander would saw quicker mainly because it saws in both directions, not just during the pull like the other one. The teeth must be really sharp!  Now I have to try to find one.
