Impulse Hardening

The teeth of the Pocket Boy 130 saw blade are heated using a special high frequency heating technique which instantly hardens the metal. Due to the way this technique is performed, it’s only the teeth that are impulse hardened, therefore the rest of the metal on the blade will retain its flexibility. Because of this process the teeth of the saw will stay harder up to 3 times longer than a non-hardened equivalent.

Ergonomically designed handles

Silky handles are all comfortable and non-slip, even in wet conditions and wearing gloves, due to their high-tech rubber compound makeup.

Is there a correct way to use a Pocket Boy 130 Silky Saw?

There certainly is! A Silky blade will only cut on the pull stroke, and they will require very little pressure to cut through wood in an efficient manner. The kerf of blade has been designed in such a way that it will bite and glide though the wood without needing any excessive pressure placed upon it during the cut. Adding extra pressure or wrenching and twisting the saw blade may lead to breakages. We have sold Silky saws at Briants for many years and faults, not down to misuse, are genuinely a very rare occurrence.
