The saws of Alone

Ask an Alone contestant what out-cut their axe and most will say the saw. A good saw turns hours of chopping into minutes of quiet work, at a fraction of the calories, which matters enormously when you're eating a few hundred calories a day.

The Silky name comes up so often on the show it's practically product placement the producers never sold. Here is every saw documented across the seasons.
