150mm longer than its katanaboy 500 predecessor, it allowed me to cut a 2 foot wide (24 inches) with relative ease. This thing is the ultimate long term survival saw bar none. Watch me cut a 2 foot log with the silky Katanaboy! I believe that it is the ultimate prepper/ and long term survival saw a fine blend of portability and power. If I had a best of gear list, this would be in the top 3.

Can you sharpen it, I’ve had some problems with laser hardened impulse finally sharpen blades,
Truly the best prices. How did you do it?!
Time to place my order.
And free shipping to the US. You smacked Amazon. Good for you. Thanks. If I get it. I will be purchasing from you. Thank you.
Just got the big boy 2000 and am completely blown away with how well it cuts. Gone are the days I need to bust out the sawzall to trim my trees.
just got my katana boy 650 last week - what a miracle saw - cuts through wood like crazy - it insane - thank you CP for your videos that convinced me to make the purchase- no more loud costly chainsaw in my ride.
I have had the regular Katana Boy for a couple years now and love it. I carry it in a overhead gun rack in the cab of my side by side. No more carrying a chain saw to cut a tree from across the trail or getting firewood. Everyone that try it is amazed.
+boltactionshooter Nice to hear its served you well!
No matter where you go there is always a turd that shows up. Is your life so pathetic that you need human contact at any cost? If you ever become half the person that the lowest life form is, you will have achieved your life goal. Good luck with getting there.
Colour Blind ?. Dingbat .
This really is the most amazing folding saw. I use the Gomboy 240mm with medium teeth and it works through any wood so easily.
Hi mate, if you want to fell those horizontal fallen trees more safely, just put an under cut in first a quarter or even a bit less through. Great video man well shot.
I'm having some serious saw blade envy.
started my prepping journey in 91 and jus discovered the channel .of course on this journey in the world of a balanced approach and to preparedness one needs not subscribe to every detail of a anothers preps (and were not supposed to...jus grow/evolve from what we learn from each other ) this channel is outstanding and i have gleaned much from it in a very short time. .now my favourite channel by far .very grateful for the informative/ articulate author and remarkable insight .outstanding work and practical application.
Thank you for excellent review video. Just ordered a 650 and a 2000. I already have a 210 and I feel with those three silky saws there is nothing I cannot do in the woods.
as soon as I saw the website I went to it..as soon as I get enough money I'm gonna buy it and your intro music is awesome love your videos keep em coming
I have one as well and can not wait to use it! Sweet piece of gear!
Recently found your channel....love it, well done and phenomenal thought process in all your videos. Great job
+rick Whit Thanks I try to give the people things worth watching while enhancing my own capabilities.
Ordered one today!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!
+rockbay79 You'll love it man
My Katanaboy just arrived today, Holy Smokes! Thanks for the recommendation.
+Matt Kaiser NICE! Have fun deforesting your region
Great video! That saw is unbelievable! I also loved the sword, oops I mean saw display in the beginning. That was cool!
wow that last big log was the ultimate test! Great job man
Great Review! I dig your channel, keep up the great work!
Ge thanks... Now my 14" folding saw that I was so proud of, is now making me feel inadequate... LMFAO
great video! good review... and very informative...truth be told its the video that tipped the scale for me to take the plunge and get my own :) thanks CP
excellent content! keep pumping these review out!
Hey Canadian Pepper I'm your newest subscriber lol which is actually funny because I thought I had already subscribed over a year ago I guess it makes sense now why I wasn't getting updates of new videos lol 😂 anyway I love silky saws and I've been thinking about getting a katana boy but you just sinched it for me with this video it's awesome I'm a bushcraft and survival tool junkie so thanks my brother. 👍🏾💪🏾👏🏾
tree surgeon for over 16 years , i have NEVER had a wet dream about a pruning saw !!! :-)
OMG!!! I have de the Silky big boy 2000. But this saw 😱😱😱 . Top video! Many thanks for this demo. Take care of you and see you soon. David. 🇧🇪🌲🐗🏕🤠🔪🔥
Nice video - I just put my order in! I guess Big Bear Tools can thank you for some sales! This will be a significant upgrade from my Silky Pocketboy 130 and even my Bob Dustrude folding bucksaw. Of course, each tool will have still have a purpose. btw - Very proud that you represent Canada so well with your polished & intelligent videos. Keep up the good work!
Late to the party on this video. Impressive to say the least.
Now THAT is a saw! Wow.
That's insane and actually works.
Lol "totally embarrasses the tree." Great video and review. I want it.
That saw is a beast like you said, the 2000 rocks as well. I like this saw as well of course . Great video man, thanks for sharing dude, wicked.
+Kullcraven Bushcraft The bigboy will still be my standard go to but this is only if I need to deforest an entire area quickly lol (not that I would!)
I really like that you can use both hands with this ...price is a bit scary but very cool idea
No electricity or fuel needed is a plus plus !
+PREPFORIT Always at the top of my list of requirements another commenter also mentioned the benefit of being quieter than a chainsaw which I thought was worth noting.
But now, in Canada, that is a fully semi automatic Assault Saw & has been banned... becuase it has more than 10 teeth...
Can't wait for the 650 to become available in the US. I have (and absolutely enjoy) a katanaboy 500. I'm having trouble even imagining what an extra 6 inches of those big, sharp, nasty teeth would make it capable of. Thanks for the great vid!
LOVE THE TUNES! Love the saw as well!!!lol kick ass video man
Ok that thing is ridiculously awesome.
silky make some excellent tools I got a silky zubat , its brilliant , having it cut on the pull makes it even better , good video mate
That's awesome, thanks for sharing.
Very nice review. I just wish i was there with you trying out the longest saw. Silky makes the best saws, period!
Thats a beast...nice work and thanks for sharing ..
+Common Sense Camper Its a great saw indeed!
You're having way too much fun there Ghost Dog :) excellent video!
+SurvivalTech Nord Lol good movie!
Nice-- I've got the pocketboy in a pocket size and use my chainsaw for bigger, but there's no mechanical breakdown with this.
Looks like you know how to actually use this saw, great stuff
Thats really a beast. The Little brother (130er) is enough for my oppininon in the Wood for Little things i made in this. But it Looks great.Nice one.
well looks like i found my sword for the end of the world lol
Another great video. Keep them coming.
Nice video . I never use a chainsaw , always a bow saw . the Katanaboy 500 could be my new go to saw !!!!!
+screech 1 Just to be clear this is the 650 not the 500 although the 500 is exactly the same cutting tech just a shorter blade (150mm shorter or 6 inches_)
:O! I need one!!!! My mini canadian tire one is nothing compared to that!...but i still gotta love my mini :)
excellent, i just ordered it (katana650). thanks for sharing. i will save much time, i have wasted to much time with my previous traditional western saws cutting logs in bad way. I feel that japanese saws is just what i need ! super demo, congratulation.
All I can say is, wow. That is a saw!
This is a monster saw, I was going to buy a 360, now I know what to buy Good job, thanks for the video
Damn! I want one. Thanks for sharing.
Barry needs that. His yard is a tactical nightmare. Good video.
helluva saw! and it can multi-task as a tent pole or antenna mast (it would need a beacon light though) LOL ...good video
THAT THING IS A BEAST
+Scrambled O Totally!
+Canadian Prepper Ever seen a bear in the woods ?
I saw one once. It was taking a shit.
The saw's pretty amazing as well!!
Just ordered one from you. Thanks for the discount code as well. Looking forward to using it. Should make a lot of the low dead branches reachable that were out of working range before. Have been using an 18” Corona saw for years to great effect. This seems to be a monster folding version of that, with a straighter profile. Should pack about the same, as mine is a fixed blade with a large D shaped handle (great for 2 handed operation). I am not retiring the corona, will just use it for smaller work in camp.
Over a year later, this saw is incredible every time. I have felled trees and bucked wood with ease. My buddy can not wait for his turn to cut. Makes wood work a joy rather than a chore. If you think of all the wood you can gather with ease, then compare the cost of so many bags of wood, this saw will pay for itself by comparison in no time. I find it best to buck the tree right away rather than carry long logs back to camp. Reason being that the teeth pull aggressively on the workpiece. A lot of stabilization is required, so use the weight of the tree to help stabilize it rather than trying to have your buddy hold it still. It will pull hard on the wood. I can gather all those low dead branches that nobody else can get to. Lots of fatwood to be found there.
Just ordered one from Big Bear. Thanks for the review man!
My dad and I are so stoked for this saw..... Excellent video! .......What did you use for the soundtrack??? carry on Jedi..
what a beast! love the intro ;)
i would have to say out of all the preppers on youtube. i find you to be the best
+Tyler Pickersgill Thanks man, I certainly am not the best in terms of how much I know as I've much left to learn, but I really appreciate that comment, I wont let it go to my head!
+Canadian Prepper lol don't let it go to your head. i just think your videos are well done and knowledgeable. to many preppers jump all over the map with there videos
yall see, I live in West Virginia, an I have about silky katanas, but I carry a dundee bowie by condor with a hair popping sharp edge an say if I'm falling a tree, I'll take the silky out an chop a notch with my knife. little bit safer an when you get the rhythm with a sharp knife you can fall almost any tree. I recommend whoever reads this to try it out. like your vids bub I'm a new sub! keep on keepin on Ricky Bobby!
Great job on this video 🙂👍 This saw is amazing. Having used a chainsaw to provide wood to heat my house I can agree with you, from experience, that this saw is just as fast without the upkeep and regular expenses in relation to a chainsaw. Thanks for spending my money... 😕😜
I thought my big boy was the ultimate hand saw.......I've cut pine logs much thicker than the blade by swapping sides......now I gotta get a katana Nice moves on the intro.....what style you trained in ?
Thanks, Wow that looked real easy. I had a Defibrillator/Pacemaker installed last year and then told I couldn't use a Chainsaw any more, and wouldn't you know it just 3 months later I have 2 trees that need angled trunk limbs cut down. Quotes to do the work for me $NZ1000+. Luckily these are sold here in NZ but a wee bit pricey (as most things are here) at $310NZ, at 67 I think I should still be able to manage it. I have some Japanese Pull Saws for woodworking and was amazed how precise and easy they were to use.
Just ordered my 650 from your website yesterday. I'm in the northeastern US and your price was $85 cheaper than the closest competitor on the net
Looks like a beast!
Great...one more thing to add to my list. Thanks for the info. I have a smaller one with a similar tooth design and was impressed when I used it at how quickly it cut and how self-cleaning it was. I must admit though that my first thought when I saw that monster was The Walking Dead and will Michon get one of those this season. Thank you sir. Keep up the good work. It is appreciated. RB
+roadbelow Hey thanks! Realitistically it would be two flimsy to use as a weapon unless you caught it on the victim and pulled furiously! Silky saws are a flawless investment.
Alone Season 5 here I come. First person to build a full fledged log cabin. A very short one, but a cabin none the less.
All I can say is, "WOW that's neat!"
Yep! I bought one from CP's store. Once it made it through Customs... it was delivered. This thing is the biggest, baddest SOB I've ever owned. YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!
Excellent Video, Tremendous saw, the debate between power tools vs manual tools in a SHTF scenario, especially if one heads to the bushwhack, power tools require usually more tools for repairs and maintenance than the tool heads on a multitools, which are excellent. Many of today' s chainsaws have fuel injectors which a novice in small engine repair may have trouble cleaning and repairing. The Katanboy appears to have few moving parts probably, a spring release system, which means less possible to go wrong. I went this way not to buy a generator since it requires fuel to run. I purchased very cheap a true goose feather comfort with a small stain extremely cheap. Love Freedom Live for Freedom God Bless
+jonathan bosco I agree I always try to find a manual option, I too am reluctant to take on anything that requires gasoline, which puts me at a disadvantage short term but not long term.
+Canadian Prepper I'm curious of what you think about the noise level of this blade vs a chainsaw with stealth in mind. Worthy advantage or negligible aspect ?
Zhab80 A huge advantage with the saw, will be much lower decibels.
9:27 Katanaboyyyy! Haha. I could watch that sawing all day
I can't wait to order one and this month and maybe a extra blade next month
Hello, canadian prepper. Thanks for all the work you do ! I stumbled across a new product that seems great. its called the fontus airo water bottle and it claims to pull .8 liters of water out of the air per hour via humidity. I will be purchasing one and I thought id share this with you and the viewers . thanks again.
Do you still like the Fontus ?
I’m glad your doing it and not me I got a bad back and that saw wow 🤩
Whoa mama! You are not messin' around when you got a folding saw of that size.
great video. i hope there paying you because im sure you are selling these with your video like crazy i;d say 10 outa 10 who watch this are going to buy one!
+GRILLBUOY101 Well I did this review for free minus the saw I got for the review, which was fine at the time as it made for an unbiased review, I may do more reviews for them in the future but it sure will be hard to top this saw lol
Hey prepper,how's it going I just finally ordered me a silky saw,I waited for the big boy outback edition with medium teeth for bushcraft purposes,now I'm thinking of getting a pocket boy an a 650 or the katana boy 500,I've not seen the bigger ones in the outback edition yet,blades are coated on these an blades are a lil more durable
Clearing trails through burns, sometimes you run into crazy piles of logs. Now I can cut them overhead relatively safely. Pasayten Wilderness in the WA side of the Okanogan.
Nice saw! would love to get me one of those.
+Zombie Reaper Worth every penny bro.
Very nice! I have the Silky Zubat 330, which is great for pruning limbs. I just wonder how your 650 is in hardwoods.
That is amazing. I’m gonna order two. :-) the other is for my brother.
Woniya Thibeault (Alone Frozen winner) actually ground an edge on about 6" of the back of the blade for use as a draw knife or skinner blade. What are your thoughts on that and the integrity of the saw blade?
Beast of a saw.
CP, do you think they will manf. the 1000? Thought about popping on a 650. Do you think it would be worth it to wait for the 1000 or go for the 650? What do you guess the price difference will be? Thanks for your vids. They are some of my favorite.
I have something similar from Lee Valley Tools and it busted pretty quickly at the two rivets that attach the saw to the handle. How has this saw been long term?
Outstanding musical edit at 1:04 with the kick.
+Bruce Wayne I felt like one of those old 60-70s rocker kicking in the speaker at the end of the set
Canadian Prepper Hahaha, exactly ! I sense you have a musical background?
Bruce Wayne Somewhat I use to strum a few chords but nothing pro
Canadian Prepper I knew IT !
Tested on az ironwood snapped a blade on a push stroke .. have never used a push stroke again and have never needed a new saw .think about bringing the work to you and control
I still would go with a bahco sawblade, where you you can make your own bucksaw from trees or any palletwood. It will always be reparirable. No lockingfunctions that can fail. I mean if we are talking about ”survivalsaws”. But I’m a bushcrafter and have trained on these subjects. Most people have not. Nevertheless, great video. I watch your videos every now and then. Keep going man!
Can you test, or guess from your experience what the largest log you could cut with this without turning the log? I know some really nice dead logs out in the middle of forests about 3-4 foot wide. I would love to be able to make table tops out of one of them.
Between the 650 and the 500, whats your vote for an all around firewood saw for winter camping?
Nice! I like the videos! Dude shows it working instead of rambling like a idiot like some lesser reviewers! Subscribed.
LOL LOL LOL NO SHIT. Just the real shit. Great Channel for show & and get her done.
Holy crap that saw is a monster.
+ Canadian Prepper do you know what type of steel is used?
you know you look like Vin you know what im saying love ya bro keep it up
I have a question. I wonder if i could use 2 bags with handles like cloth grocery bags? I plan to carry a grayl bottle, fire kit, emergency bivy, socks, mini 1st aid kit, flashlights and canteen, 1 lb. Food, and tarp and cordage. My condition?😟
How well do these saws work for hardwoods. My property is mainly red/white oak, hickory, and maple.
do u think really old oak or locust will dull it fast cause that locust is like cutting railroad tracks.lol i filled up my ford escort wagon all the time cuttin 4 foot locust 12 to 13 inch with a basic 30 inch bow saw and it would wipe me out use to go campin and burn like 8 4 or 5 locust logs all blue flames
That is indeed an impressive saw. Now if it just wasn't so expensive. If I could talk someone into donating one of these saws for me to review I would jump on it pronto. I have two broken down chainsaws at the moment and that is why you seen me hand sawing the logs for my last video.
I'll send you a personal message...
+Far North Bushcraft And Survival Saw your video about it in the Suggested. Guess you managed to get your hands on one
+Joe Bill. Yes I did. If you happened to have watched my video, you probably could tell that I am also extremely pleased that I did end up with one. They are an awesome saw. A few weeks ago I had been going out through the woods on my snowmachine while trying to put in a trail to cut and haul firewood for our remote cabin. Well I accidently found a tree stump under the snow with my ski and I was stuck. Out came the Katanaboy and I cut the stump off and I was on my way again. The saw easily got me out of a bad situation there.
Very nice
@@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival I really enjoy your video, you really hit the things that I enjoy, too bad my army veterant body cant sleep much on the frozen ground of our beautiful country
Cool but Does it work on zombies? Video required...... :-)
Well after watching your video I was so impressed with this product I finally purchased one! I can't wait, though I'm pretty sure you make it look easy. I wasn't sure if I should purchase a backup blade right away. I waited but I'd like to know your opinion after using it a few times how you think it held up.We cut alot of wood now, I have to have it 80 or above. This saw seems to be the best choice to have for a backup incase our chainsaws were to break down. If you see this message and get a chance to respond we would appreciate your opinion on how you think the blade held up and if it's one you think would last awhile? If it does hold up good I'd probably be better off spending an extra $100 and getting a 2nd saw so we both had one than just the blade. Thanks for the great videos and all the good info you get out there like this. I would have never known about this product.
Very informative videos you put out! I just saw it on ebay for $200.00 + shipping.
+Red Dawn Is it the 500mm or the 650mm? Apparently it is available in US but in Canada only exclusively through big bear and its not up on their website yet.
