Silky PocketBoy 170 vs Bahco Laplander 396-LAP

Buy the Silky Professional Series PocketBoy Folding Saw 170mm Large Teeth, model 346-17, ASIN B0014C7XS0, when you want the compact lightweight folding saw whose feature line prints a 6.75-inch (170mm) blade, a rust-resistant hard chrome-plated taper-ground blade, impulse-hardened non-set tooth design, 2 locking positions, 6.8 teeth per inch (8 teeth per 30mm) Large teeth, 1.4mm blade thickness, a 3.4" cut capacity, a clear plastic flip-lock carrying case with belt clip, and landscaping / pruning / camping / trail / hunting language. Buy the Bahco Folding Pruning Saw for Hunters, Campers, Fischer 396-LAP, ASIN B002O6QJAS, when you want the folding pruning saw whose card prints Product Type Saw, Brand BAHCO, and model language 396-LAP from the title. One card is a Silky PocketBoy with a locked tooth, blade, lock, case, and cut-capacity set. The other is a Bahco 396-LAP name card without inventing tooth pitch or blade length beyond that model string. Match the ASIN before you match the word folding saw.

Short version. A Gerber StrongArm and an ESEE 4 are fixed blades, not these folding saws. A LifeStraw Peak and a GRAYL GeoPress treat water. UCO Stormproof matches and a FireSteel Army start fires. A Benchmade 535 and a Spyderco C223GP are folders. A P20iX and a Warrior 3s are flashlights. A FireSteel Scout and a nanoSTRIKER are the smaller ferro pair. B0014C7XS0 and B002O6QJAS are the two folding-saw cards here.

Silky Professional Series PocketBoy Folding Saw 170mm Large Teeth, model 346-17, is ASIN B0014C7XS0. Bahco Folding Pruning Saw for Hunters, Campers, Fischer 396-LAP is ASIN B002O6QJAS. Fixed blades, folders, water tools, fire starters, and flashlights are different cards.

Who should buy the PocketBoy 170, and who should buy the Bahco 396-LAP?

Buy B0014C7XS0 if you want the Silky Professional Series PocketBoy Folding Saw 170mm Large Teeth, model 346-17, whose feature line prints a compact lightweight folding saw with a 6.75-inch (170mm) blade, a rust-resistant hard chrome-plated taper-ground blade, impulse-hardened non-set tooth design, 2 locking positions, 6.8 teeth per inch (8 teeth per 30mm) Large teeth, 1.4mm blade thickness, a 3.4" cut capacity, a clear plastic flip-lock carrying case with belt clip, and landscaping / pruning / camping / trail / hunting language. Buy it when that Silky tooth, lock, case, and cut-capacity set is the job, and when you will keep PocketBoy attached to that ASIN instead of shopping a fixed-blade photograph or a different Silky length alone.

Buy B002O6QJAS if you want the Bahco Folding Pruning Saw for Hunters, Campers, Fischer 396-LAP whose card prints Product Type Saw, Brand BAHCO, and model language 396-LAP from the title. Buy it when a Bahco 396-LAP folding pruning saw name card is the sentence you opened, not a Silky 170mm Large Teeth body with the PocketBoy tooth and case cells. Do not invent a tooth pitch, a millimeter blade length, a cut capacity, or a case sentence onto B002O6QJAS from the Silky feature line.

Buy neither if you wanted a fixed field knife. StrongArm versus ESEE 4 already owns that seat. Buy neither if you wanted a folder. Benchmade 535 versus Spyderco C223GP is that shelf. Buy neither if you needed water. LifeStraw Peak versus GRAYL GeoPress is the drink shelf. Buy neither if you needed fire. Stormproof versus FireSteel Army and Scout versus nanoSTRIKER are the flame shelves. Buy neither if you needed a flashlight. A P20iX or Warrior 3s is the lamp shelf.

What is the Silky PocketBoy 170 Large Teeth actually for?

This card is a Silky Professional Series PocketBoy Folding Saw 170mm Large Teeth, model 346-17, ASIN B0014C7XS0. The Amazon feature block that travels with this part prints compact lightweight folding saw language, a 6.75-inch (170mm) blade, a rust-resistant hard chrome-plated taper-ground blade, impulse-hardened non-set tooth design, 2 locking positions, 6.8 teeth per inch (8 teeth per 30mm) Large teeth, 1.4mm blade thickness, a 3.4" cut capacity, a clear plastic flip-lock carrying case with belt clip included, and landscaping / pruning / camping / trail / hunting language. Those cells belong to B0014C7XS0. Do not paste a Bahco-only Product Type Saw sentence as if it rewrote the Silky tooth pitch. Do not paste a StrongArm fixed-blade cell, a Benchmade folder ASIN, or a ferro rod onto this card.

Six-point-seven-five inches / 170mm is the blade-length sentence. Hard chrome-plated taper-ground is the blade finish and grind sentence. Impulse-hardened non-set tooth design is the tooth construction sentence. Two locking positions are the open-lock sentence. Six-point-eight teeth per inch, also printed as 8 teeth per 30mm, Large teeth, is the tooth pitch and tooth-size sentence. One-point-four millimeters is the blade-thickness sentence. Three-point-four inches is the cut-capacity sentence. Clear plastic flip-lock carrying case with belt clip is the carry sentence. Landscaping, pruning, camping, trail, and hunting are the use sentences on the card. Model 346-17 is the reorder string. None of those sentences is Brand BAHCO alone. None of them is model 396-LAP. None of them is a fixed-blade tang story.

A PocketBoy folding saw rewards limb and branch work when you want a compact saw that locks open in either of the two positions the card prints, then folds for the belt case. Large teeth and 6.8 tpi language are the cut personality on this ASIN. They are not a reason to invent a different pitch for a sibling Silky with a different ASIN. Hard chrome-plated taper-ground language is corrosion-slowing and blade-shape language. It is not a claim the blade can live wet in a muddy sheath forever without wiping. Impulse-hardened non-set tooth design is the tooth sentence. Non-set means the teeth are not set outward the way some western saws are described. Quote it as the card prints it. Do not invent a Rockwell number. Cut capacity 3.4" is the diameter language on this card. It is not a claim every softwood and every hardwood behave the same at that mark. The clear flip-lock case with belt clip is how the closed saw rides. Confirm the case that arrives matches the flip-lock and belt-clip cells before you bounce on a truck seat. Compact lightweight is pack language. It is not a reason to hang the open saw from a thin cord as the only safety plan.

Landscaping and pruning language point at yard and garden cuts. Camping, trail, and hunting language point at field cuts. All five words sit on this feature line. None of them rewrites a fixed knife, a multi-tool, or a flashlight. Practice one cut on scrap wood at home with the saw locked in the position you intend to use. Confirm both locking positions engage before the first trail day. A different Silky length, a fine-teeth PocketBoy sibling, or a non-170mm blade with a different ASIN is a different cart even when the family name matches.

Do: match B0014C7XS0 and model 346-17, and keep 170mm / 6.75-inch, hard chrome taper-ground, impulse-hardened non-set Large teeth at 6.8 tpi, 1.4mm thickness, 3.4" cut capacity, 2 locking positions, and the clear flip-lock case on the PocketBoy card. Don’t: invent a Bahco tooth pitch onto this Silky cell. Don’t: order a StrongArm because the word hunting matched. Don’t: treat cut capacity as a reason to skip a locked blade check.

What is the Bahco 396-LAP actually for?

This card is a Bahco Folding Pruning Saw for Hunters, Campers, Fischer 396-LAP, ASIN B002O6QJAS. The feature language that this comparison will treat as belonging to the part is Product Type Saw, Brand BAHCO, and model language 396-LAP from the title. Those cells belong to B002O6QJAS. Do not paste a Silky 6.75-inch / 170mm blade cell, a 6.8 tpi Large teeth sentence, a 1.4mm thickness cell, a 3.4" cut capacity, a 2 locking positions cell, or a clear plastic flip-lock case sentence onto this ASIN. Do not invent a tooth pitch or a blade length for Bahco beyond title model 396-LAP.

Product Type Saw is the category sentence. Brand BAHCO is the brand sentence. Model 396-LAP from the title is the reorder string on this card. Title language that names hunters, campers, and Fischer sits next to that model string as the naming story for who the listing addresses. None of those sentences is Silky Professional Series PocketBoy. None of them is model 346-17. None of them is impulse-hardened non-set Large teeth at 6.8 teeth per inch. None of them is a hard chrome-plated taper-ground 170mm blade cell printed the way the PocketBoy card prints it.

A Bahco 396-LAP folding pruning saw rewards a shopping habit that stops at the model string when the detail block does not lock a pitch or a length for this comparison. The job is still a folding pruning saw for field and camp kits when the title says hunters and campers. That does not authorize inventing Silky’s 3.4" cut capacity onto Bahco. That does not authorize inventing a clear flip-lock belt case onto Bahco from the PocketBoy cell. Match B002O6QJAS and 396-LAP on the stamp or the title before you match a generic folding-saw photograph. A different Bahco model string with a different ASIN is a different cart even when Brand BAHCO matches. Fischer language in the title is part of the naming string on this listing. Quote it as title language. Do not invent a separate Fischer-only tooth chart this card set did not lock.

Open and close the saw once at home so the first field cut is not also the first hinge lesson. Keep fingers clear of the teeth when you fold. Local rules on tools in packs and vehicles still apply. Product Type Saw is a category word. It is not a steel grade, not a Rockwell number, and not a cut-capacity chart. Leave those inventions off unless a card you can point to prints them. This comparison will not invent them for B002O6QJAS.

Do: match B002O6QJAS and model 396-LAP, and treat Product Type Saw plus Brand BAHCO as this card’s locked cells. Don’t: invent 6.8 tpi, 170mm, 1.4mm, 3.4" cut capacity, or a Silky flip-lock case onto Bahco. Don’t: invent a dollar figure for the listing. Don’t: order a ferro rod because the word camping matched.

How do you read these two folding-saw cards without mixing the knife and ferro pages?

Both technique cells are folding pruning saws for limb and branch work in yard and field kits. A fixed blade will not replace either of them as the only saw. StrongArm versus ESEE 4 is a fixed-knife conversation. Put B0014C7XS0 or B002O6QJAS in the saw kit if the folding saw is the job. A pocket folder will not rewrite a saw tooth. Benchmade 535 versus Spyderco C223GP is a folding-knife conversation. The LifeStraw Peak versus GRAYL GeoPress article tells you about drinking water. It does not rewrite a blade-length cell. The Stormproof versus FireSteel Army article and the Scout versus nanoSTRIKER article tell you about flame. They do not rewrite a locking position. The flashlight article tells you how you see the woodpile at night. It does not rewrite a cut-capacity sentence.

The PocketBoy card gives you compact lightweight folding-saw language, a 6.75-inch (170mm) blade, a rust-resistant hard chrome-plated taper-ground blade, impulse-hardened non-set tooth design, 2 locking positions, 6.8 teeth per inch (8 teeth per 30mm) Large teeth, 1.4mm blade thickness, a 3.4" cut capacity, a clear plastic flip-lock carrying case with belt clip, landscaping / pruning / camping / trail / hunting language, and model 346-17. The Bahco card gives you Product Type Saw, Brand BAHCO, and model language 396-LAP from the title on a Folding Pruning Saw for Hunters, Campers, Fischer listing. Those are the sentences this comparison will treat as belonging to these parts. A reviewer who timed a cut on a different Silky length is a reviewer. The feature still says what it says.

One hundred seventy millimeters and model 396-LAP alone are not the same blade-length cell. Six-point-eight tpi Large teeth and an invented Bahco pitch are not the same tooth cell because this comparison will not invent the Bahco pitch. Two locking positions and a clear flip-lock case belong to the PocketBoy card in this pair. Hard chrome-plated taper-ground language and 1.4mm thickness belong to the PocketBoy card in this pair. Brand BAHCO and Product Type Saw belong to the Bahco card. Do not invent Silky’s 3.4" cut capacity onto Bahco. Do not invent a dollar figure for either listing. Use the buttons for the live cart.

Keep the fixed-blade fights on the sheath when a hunting photograph tempts you into StrongArm or ESEE 4. Keep the folder fights on the pocket when the brand neighborhood matches but the product does not. Keep water tools on the drink shelf when a kit list says saw and filter in the same breath. Keep ferro rods and matches on the fire shelf when the kit list says saw and flame. Keep flashlights on the lamp shelf when the word trail is the only filter you clicked. The ASIN is the shopping rule on those comparisons and on this pair.

What actually fails on these two cards?

The PocketBoy card fails when B0014C7XS0 is rewritten as a fixed knife or a pocket folder without renaming the part. It fails when 6.75-inch / 170mm language is sold as a different Silky length ASIN because PocketBoy matched in a photo. It fails when hard chrome-plated taper-ground language is ignored and a rusty wet store is blamed on the brand alone. It fails when impulse-hardened non-set tooth design is rewritten as a set-tooth western saw the card did not print. It fails when 6.8 teeth per inch / 8 teeth per 30mm Large teeth language is pasted onto a fine-teeth sibling. It fails when 1.4mm blade thickness is invented onto a different model. It fails when 3.4" cut capacity is treated as a universal softwood and hardwood guarantee without a practice cut. It fails when 2 locking positions are skipped and an unlocked blade is blamed on Silky forever. It fails when the clear plastic flip-lock case with belt clip is dropped and a loose pouch is ordered because the word case matched. It fails when model 346-17 is ignored. It fails when landscaping / pruning / camping / trail / hunting language is read as a reason to buy a ferro rod or a flashlight instead.

The Bahco 396-LAP card fails when B002O6QJAS and a different Bahco model are treated as one ASIN. It fails when model 396-LAP is ignored and a Silky tooth chart is pasted onto Brand BAHCO. It fails when Product Type Saw is read as a steel grade or a cut-capacity number this card set did not lock. It fails when a reviewer invents a tooth pitch or a blade length for Bahco beyond title model 396-LAP and calls it this detail block. It fails when hunters / campers / Fischer title language is treated as Silky’s 3.4" cut capacity. It fails when a StrongArm ASIN is opened because both products sit in a hunting kit list. It fails when a LifeStraw or GeoPress ASIN is opened because both products sit in a camping kit list. It fails when a ferro ASIN is opened because the word camp matched.

The shared failure is shopping the word folding saw without reading model string, tooth language, lock language, and case language on the card you opened. Another shared failure is the first hard cut happening on a trip with no practice stroke at home. Cut once on scrap wood at the bench. Confirm the lock before the truck ride.

What is this comparison not?

This is not a fixed-blade comparison. Both cards are folding saws, and StrongArm versus ESEE 4 is elsewhere. This is not a pocket-folder comparison. This is not a water-filter review, a fire-starter review, or a flashlight review. This is not every Silky and every Bahco. B0014C7XS0 and B002O6QJAS are the cards. A different Silky length, a different tooth size, or a different Bahco model string is a different part if the ASIN changes. This is not a price quote. The listing moves. Use the buttons if you want the live cart.

This is also not a claim that one saw makes you a better woodsman. Neither card prints a certification for rescue work or for legal carry in every jurisdiction. Leave invented tooth pitches on the Bahco card, invented Rockwell numbers, and invented dollars off the feature block you cannot point to. The job is a folding pruning saw for limbs and branches, not a fixed knife and not a ferro rod.

So which folding saw should you buy?

Buy the Silky if you want ASIN B0014C7XS0, the Professional Series PocketBoy Folding Saw 170mm Large Teeth, model 346-17, a 6.75-inch (170mm) blade, a rust-resistant hard chrome-plated taper-ground blade, impulse-hardened non-set tooth design, 2 locking positions, 6.8 teeth per inch (8 teeth per 30mm) Large teeth, 1.4mm blade thickness, a 3.4" cut capacity, a clear plastic flip-lock carrying case with belt clip, and landscaping / pruning / camping / trail / hunting language. Buy the Bahco if you want ASIN B002O6QJAS, the Folding Pruning Saw for Hunters, Campers, Fischer 396-LAP, Product Type Saw, Brand BAHCO, and model language 396-LAP from the title without inventing tooth pitch or blade length beyond that model string. Buy neither if you wanted a fixed blade, a pocket folder, a water tool, a ferro rod, or a flashlight. Match the model string and the tooth story you can actually point to before you match the word saw. Cut once at the bench. If the tooth and case set you wanted was the PocketBoy Large teeth card and you opened a Bahco name card with no pitch locked here, the card was wrong, not the branch.
