LIMITED EDITION: GOMBOY KURO

Step to one side there’s a new Saw in town…but not for long!

At Silky HQ we’ve been keeping something very close to our chest that we can finally share with you, trust me it’s been tough as we know how much our Silky users will love this news.

So, with a drum roll please……To celebrate 40 years of Gomboy Silky Japan have introduced the Gomboy Curve Outback ‘Kuro’.

The limited edition model combines heritage and field performance and as always with any Silky Saws it is designed with purpose but also for serious use.

With a black oxide coated blade, a sustainable Arbor Composite GRIP and a custom pure black sleek carrying case…did you know that the name Kuro means black in Japanese which truly captures the case design.

Now down to the technical bits, the blade with a low glare Black Oxide coating which gives a matte, non-reflective finish ideal for tactical work. The coating also provides exceptional protection against corrosion resulting in reliable cutting performance in any environment. It has a curved 24cm blade and 8 teeth per 30mm which naturally holds its position in wood. This helps in delivering effective stokes whilst delivering smooth cuts on green and seasoned wood. Not forgetting the handle on the Kuro made out of Arbor Composite which contains 70% wood powder making it naturally comfortable to hold, which helps give a reliable grip when your hands are wet or greasy It’s also firmer than the normal GOM rubber used in a range of Silky Handsaws, which helps give a reliable grip when your hands are wet or greasy.

Also known in our office as ‘a Saw of beauty’, which we think you will agree with, the Kuro could easily be stored as a collectible piece, as it will only ever being released once as a limited edition. But with all the features it offers it has impressive capability and would be a truly dependable tool.

As always Silky show how they innovatively design and craft a piece such as the Kuro but keep all the roots Silky offers whilst never compromising on the functionality and technicality of the Saw.

So come on…who wants one…okay, we all do!
