Silky has developed a folding type dovetail (Dozuki) saw for the first time, having a reinforced bar at the back of the blade. Overall length is 560mm, blade length 240mm, tooth pitch of 32 teeth per 30mm, 272 grams in weight and kerf 0.7mm. The teeth are impulse-hardened and give a long lasting life. The blade cannot be resharpened but replacement blades are available. The change mechanism is very easy. The blade locks securely in two positions, for flush cutting. Woodboy has a rubber coated aluminium handle that is comfortable to hold, that reduces vibration and offers really superior grip when the hands are wet, cold or when wearing gloves.
The blade must be kept clean to maintain its efficiency. Resin dissolves in olive oil, which is an effective and environmental friendly way to maintain the blade with. More aggressive liquids can damage the rubber material of the handle.
When not using the saw, make sure it is dry at all times. Store the saw in a dry place, preferably in an appropriate holster.
