Silky Katanaboy 650 Saw

it works great! Definitely would be a item I would take if I was going to spend time in the woods, even before I would take a axe. Saws through trees like butter, didn’t even pull out the chainsaw today.

Steady, moderate rhythm and very little pressure allow you to cut through trees at twice the speed, and size of the Bigboy.
Perfect for bucking out intermittent larger blow down on your favourite trail without having to pack a chainsaw.
While it doesn’t fit nicely inside my day pack, it straps on very securely to the back and doesn’t protrude enough to catch on rogue branches.

I love the silky. Cuts effortlessly. Great tool

I am using it and the Big Boy 2000 right now to cut up firewood for next winter. Its advantages are that it is quiet so it won't bother the neighbors and that I'd be able to use it in winter. I have two battery-operated chainsaws that use lithium-ion batteries. The minimum operating temperature for those is 0 C, so it's nice for me to have a saw that I could use in winter when it's cold.
I have cut lots of wood with bow saws in winter, but some stuff I could only cut with a chain saw. The Katanaboy 650 has cut stuff so far that I would have had to use a chain saw for. I don't use a gas chain saw due to I don't know how to mix oil and gas, plus I don't like yanking a cord, so I only used electric or battery-operated saws when I use a power saw.
I also like it that I don't have to carry a heavy chain saw out to the bush, plus a pail containing spare batteries, chain oil, plus don't have to wear ear muffs (to protect my ears from the loud engine).

When I'm done cutting wood, I can carry the saws and the wood back, whereas with a chainsaw, I would have to move the chainsaws back to the house first, then go back to get my wood.
I could be using my battery-operated chain saws now to cut up firewood for next winter, but am using the Katanaboy 650 and the Big Boy 2000 for now. I can keep on cutting if we don't get tent caterpillars again like last year. Last summer about this time, I was on a roll, enjoying myself cutting up firewood, till the caterpillars started.

This has nothing to do with the Katanaboy 650, but a few years ago, when I was cutting up firewood on a big humongous pile of logs I had, (using an electric chain saw) a coyote came out of the bush and was calming walking toward me. I had heard on the news about people being attacked and killed by coyotes, so, to be on the safe side, I climbed back over my fence. The coyote came quite close to where I had been cutting.
Oh yeah, I used to have problems with mice and chipmunks chewing on the extension cord, so I couldn't leave the cord lying on the woodpile. I had to wind it up each time and hang it up. A cat started hanging around, of which I was glad because hopefully the cat would take care of the rodents.

Of course, with the Katanaboy 650, there is no worry about rodents chewing on extension cords.

Excellent.

Un bel outil, bien conçu.
Je m’en sert depuis que je l’ai reçue dans le jardin et en forêt. Rien ne resiste la Silky Katanaboy. Il est cependant mieux de l’utiliser sur des troncs plus large, plus stables.

Le seul probleme c’est lorsque’on s’attaque à de trop petites branches. Il faut bien stabiliser la branche sans quoi vous finissez par la tirer vers vous par traction sans la scier.

Elle se manie bien à une ou de main et dans differents angles. Il est facile de tailler des hautes branches d’une cour. Toutes ces caractéristiques la rende très versatile et bien adequate pour divers types de
Projets: Camping, feu de camps, jardinage, taille d’arbres, construction...

Si vous avez 300$ TTC...allez y, c’est un investissement à long terme. Merci à Canadian outdoor equipment pour l’envoi prompt et rapide.

Excellent product!

The saw works great. I am now able to cut through fallen trees that are 20 inches in diameter in about 30 minutes. The Katanaboy has easily increase my efficiency of would processing by 4 times what I could do with the Silky Big boy. I have no regrets and recommend anyone who is debating buying to just by it. You won't be disappointed.

Bought it for my husband and he absolutely loves it!!
Definitely a must hsve
