Product description
To mark 40 years of the Gomboy, Silky Japan introduces the Gomboy Curve Outback “KURO” — a limited edition model that combines proven heritage with exceptional field performance. Every element is purposefully designed: a deep Black Oxide coated blade, a matching sustainable Arbor Composite grip, and a custom black carrying case. The name captures the aesthetic: KURO means black in Japanese.
While its look is distinct, the KURO is engineered for serious use. The low-glare Black Oxide coating gives the blade a matte, non-reflective finish, making it ideal for tactical work. Crucially, the coating provides exceptional corrosion protection, ensuring the saw’s reliable cutting performance endures in any environment. The curved 24 cm blade with 8 teeth per 30 mm naturally holds its position in the wood, delivering smooth, effective strokes on both green and seasoned material.
The innovative Arbor Composite grip, crafted from a blend containing 70% wood powder, offers a sure and comfortable handhold. It is noticeably firmer than the traditional GOM rubber, providing a secure, reliable grip even when your hands are wet or greasy.
What makes the KURO truly special is the balance between its appeal as a collectible piece and its capability as a truly dependable tool. This edition is a refined expression of the trusted DNA within Silky’s Outback line. This limited edition is released only once. Make sure to secure your piece of Silky history.
