is there any difference between the Pocketboy 170 sold with medium teeth and the one sold with large teeth?

On paper there is only a couple of mm difference in tooth size. In practice this translates in a couple of seconds in quicker cutting on an average limb. For me, being a horticulturalist it's worth it. For you it may not be. I use the medium for general use and the large toothed for larger limbs. I also have a fine toothed blade for delicate tasks. For me, the nuances of pruning require more precision in the use of tools/blades.

What is the best silky saw for cutting bone for hunting?

Saws with medium teeth work best. We have found the GomBoy 121-21 works best (ASIN B000CEAX8S).

how long is it when folded?

It fits in typical pocket sticking out just slightly. I can't recommend this thing enough though, it cuts like a hot knife though butter.

It's such a pleasure to use knives that are truly sharp and this is one of them. Makes gardening work so much fun and satisfying! This works great too for ladies with smaller hands. Be super mindful when using - they are really sharp! If they make kitchen knives too, would not hesitate to buy them!
