Silky began in 1919, when Katsuji Miyawaki started making saws in Kishi, Japan, under the brand name "Tamakitsune". The company is still run by the Miyawaki family and still makes its saws in Ono, Hyōgo, in the heart of Japan's traditional hardware region.
Silky has a long record of firsts. In 1970 it was the first saw maker to adopt automatic saw-setting, and it patented its own setting process in 1980. Every product has carried the Silky name since 1983, and in 1985 the GOMTARO and GOMBOY introduced the first rubber-clad saw handle, which won a Good Design prize.
Today Silky pruning and folding saws are used by arborists, gardeners and tree-care crews around the world for their fast, clean cut and hard-wearing, impulse-hardened teeth.
