Spare Parts and Consumables

The Silky Woodboy is a 240 mm Japanese folding pull saw for fine woodworking and joinery, with three blades to choose from: Kataba Extra Fine, Dozuki Extra Fine and Professional. Replacement blades for all three are sold separately.

The Kataba Extra Fine (388-24) is backless, with 32 teeth per 30 mm (about 27 TPI) for smooth, fine cuts. The Dozuki Extra Fine (384-24) has the same teeth on a blade with a stiffening back for straighter cuts, and a maximum depth of cut of 1-3/4 in. The Professional (386-24) is backless with 26 teeth per 30 mm (about 22 TPI), and Silky recommends it for hardwood. All three blades are 240 mm (9-1/2 in) long and 0.65 mm thick.

The teeth are non-set and the chrome-plated blade is taper ground, so it cuts a clean, narrow kerf and resists rust and pitch. The thin, flexible blade suits intricate joinery. A thumb release button folds the blade, and it locks open in two positions, which helps in tight spots and for kerfing dados. The handle is aluminum alloy with a rubber grip. The saw is 22 in (560 mm) long open and 12 in (305 mm) folded.

Katsuji Miyawaki founded Silky in 1919 in Kishi, Japan, under the brand Tamakitsune, and all of its saws took the Silky name in 1983. The company is now headed by Uichi Miyawaki, and its saws are made in Ono, Japan.
