Silky Pocketboy blade 170

• 170 mm replacement blade: Restores the cutting performance of a Pocketboy 170 folding saw without replacing the whole tool, making it a practical spare for regular field or workshop use.
• Spring steel construction: The blade combines flexibility with durability, helping it resist damage in demanding cutting tasks while maintaining a consistent feel through the stroke.
• Laser-cut teeth: Precise manufacturing supports a clean, efficient cut, which matters when working through branches or timber with less effort and better control.
• 1.10 mm blade thickness: The slim profile helps the saw move through wood smoothly, reducing drag and making the blade easier to manage on compact folding saw platforms.
• Modular design: As part of a serviceable system, the blade can be swapped when worn, which extends the working life of the saw and keeps maintenance straightforward.

About the Pocketboy Series

The Silky Pocketboy series is a line of compact folding saws built for users who need a portable cutting tool that is easy to carry yet capable enough for real outdoor and workshop tasks. Within the Silky range, the Pocketboy sits as a small-format option for pruning, camp use, light woodworking and general outdoor maintenance, where packability matters as much as cutting efficiency. The series is known for its folding format, interchangeable parts and a choice of blade patterns tailored to different materials and cutting styles.

Across the range, Pocketboy models are designed around replaceable blades and a compact handle platform, so users can keep the tool in service over time rather than treating it as disposable. Different tooth configurations within the series allow the same basic saw format to be adapted for green wood, dry wood or finer woodworking tasks. This makes the Pocketboy family a practical fit for arborists, gardeners, hunters, campers and anyone who wants a small saw that stores neatly but still delivers controlled cutting performance when needed.

About the Silky Pocketboy blade 170

The Silky Pocketboy blade 170 is a replacement saw blade intended for the 170 mm version of the Pocketboy platform. Its main advantage is simple: it lets the user restore the saw’s original cutting performance while keeping the existing handle assembly in service. For anyone who uses a folding saw regularly for trail work, camp chores, pruning or general wood processing, that makes maintenance more economical and less disruptive than replacing the complete tool.

The blade uses spring steel, a material chosen for the balance it offers between toughness and controlled flexibility. In practical use, that helps the blade cope with the movement and loading that come with hand sawing, especially when working in awkward positions outdoors. The laser-cut manufacturing process supports consistent tooth geometry, which contributes to smoother tracking and a more predictable cut. Combined with the 1.10 mm thickness, the blade stays slim enough to move efficiently through wood while remaining substantial enough for confident handling on a compact folding saw.

Its straight blade profile suits general-purpose cutting where clean control matters more than aggressive curved pull action. The silver finish and coated surface complete a straightforward, functional design focused on serviceability and dependable use. As part of a modular construction, this replacement blade is well suited to users who prefer to maintain their equipment properly and keep a proven saw working at full efficiency.

About Silky

Silky’s origins date to 1919, when Katsuji Miyawaki began making saws in Kishi, Japan. The company built its reputation around saw design and continues to focus on tools for pruning, woodworking and outdoor use. Its range includes folding saws, fixed-blade saws and telescopic pole saws, showing a clear specialization rather than a broad general-tool catalogue.

Over time, Silky developed its manufacturing methods to support more precise and consistent cutting performance. It adopted an automatic saw-setting machine in 1970, and in 1980 it developed and patented a saw-setting process later used for its 4-Retsume and Miraime2 saws. The Silky name was applied across all company products in 1983. Today, Silky saws are manufactured in Ono, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan, reflecting the brand’s long-standing connection to Japanese saw production.
