Gear: Silky Pocketboy 130


This pocket-sized folding saw is ideal for camp chores, from pruning the portage trail to collecting deadwood. Though it’s a few bucks more expensive than similar models of the same size, it’s worth the price—Silky’s five-inch long, Japanese-made blade keeps an edge and is built to withstand abuse.

– 7 teeth per inch (8 teeth per 30 mm) teeth configuration 
– 0.35 pounds (160 grams) operating weight; 0.5 pounds (220 grams) weight with carrying case
