The Silky Saws Limited Edition 40th Anniversary Gomboy Kuro Outback Folding Saw is a precision-built cutting tool that celebrates four decades of Japanese craftsmanship and innovation. Designed as a one-time production run, this all-black edition brings together proven performance and refined design, delivering a saw that stands out in both function and appearance. Built for field work, backcountry use, and outdoor tasks, it offers dependable cutting power in a compact, easy-to-carry form.
At the core of the Gomboy Kuro is a 9.5-inch curved blade engineered for aggressive, efficient cutting. The curved profile increases contact during pull strokes, allowing you to cut faster and with greater control. The blade is treated with Silky’s proprietary black oxide coating, giving it a flat black finish while enhancing resistance to wear and corrosion. This treatment ensures long-term durability, even in demanding outdoor environments.
The saw features Silky’s GOKAI-ME teeth, designed with a scraper-like shape that clears sawdust efficiently while maintaining smooth cutting action. With 6.8 teeth per inch, the blade is optimized for versatility, handling rip cuts, crosscuts, and slant cuts with consistent performance. It’s built to work through wood cleanly and efficiently, making it a reliable choice for a variety of cutting tasks.
The Arbor Composite grip provides a solid, comfortable hold in hand. It offers a balance of warmth and rigidity, giving you control in both dry and wet conditions. Whether you’re working in the field or processing wood in camp, the handle design supports steady, confident use without slipping.
With a cutting capacity of up to 5 inches in diameter, the Gomboy Kuro delivers serious capability in a folding format. Despite its strength, it remains lightweight at just 288 grams, making it easy to carry without adding unnecessary bulk to your gear. The folding design keeps the blade protected when not in use, while the included black hard carrying case adds another layer of convenience and protection.
Made in Japan, the Silky Gomboy Kuro reflects a legacy of precision and performance. It’s a saw built for those who value reliability, efficiency, and craftsmanship in their outdoor tools.
