Overview

The Silky PB170-O General is a folding hand saw with a black nickel and tin plated steel blade and a composite handle, measuring 14.7 inches long and weighing 8.8 ounces.

General is the model name here, not a stray category label, and it identifies a folding saw line from Silky rather than a mismatched product. The plated steel blade resists corrosion better than bare carbon steel, and the composite handle keeps overall weight down for a tool meant to fold and travel.
