ARS CAM Series
Score: 85/100Rankings
The Silky PocketBoy 170mm is a compact, high-performance folding saw designed for outdoor professionals, featuring Japanese craftsmanship and proprietary Mirai-Me Technology. Its lightweight profile and bidirectional cutting make it ideal for portable fieldwork, though it is limited to smaller diameter wood. It is best suited for arborists and hikers requiring a space-saving, high-precision tool.
The ARS CAM-18LN is a professional-grade fixed-blade pruning saw featuring a 7-inch taper-ground high carbon steel blade with TURBOCUT tri-edge teeth for fast pull-cutting. It includes a nickel-plated finish for rust resistance but lacks the compact storage of folding saws due to its fixed design. Best suited for professional arborists and horticulturists who prioritize cutting efficiency and durability over compactness.
