I've used Silkies for hedge-laying. Although the length is useful when you have an easily accessible cut, and the fine teeth and cut-on-the-pull leave a smooth cut, I find that the moment there is a hint of awkwardness to access the location I want to cut at, the things are a nightmare to use. I'd far rather stick with a Bahco Laplander - short, and with a far stouter blade, but as it cuts on the push and the pull you can get in even where undergrowth is thick and as long as you can get an inch of the blade into position, as you enlarge the cut you can bring more of the blade into use.

Not a knife but a blade of sorts I recently bought a Silky saw to fuck up the cheeky Elder that's invaded the end of our garden. #allthingsjapanese
