Silky Katanaboy 650: Folding Saw Test
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 апр 2022
- We recently acquired a Silky Katanaboy 650 along with a spare blade to have a portable light weight and effective folding saw for cases we need to clear a tree off the road. We tested it on logs ranging from 3" to 14" and are happy with the results. It works great for camp firewood and contracting hunting blinds.
The price of the saw and blades has doubled since our purchase, so we are glad we got it when we did!

Great demo! What an awesome asset!
I'll make a video when i get mine delivered
👍👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏
Great demo! Have you had a chance since the video to try this out on some fresh, green blowdown trees? I've got the BigBoy 2000 and am thinking abut getting the Katanaboy to tackle bigger trees on the trails.
Works great on fresh blowdown. We have cut fir, cedar and alder. Limbing smaller branches (if you need to, perhaps not needed for clearing trails) can be a bit tedious with the combination of long blade and aggressive teeth, but combined with a hatchet or smaller saw, you're all set. Only other tip I have, going through bigger stuff where there is any serious weight involved, just like using a chainsaw, try to figure out where the pressure will be to avoid getting the saw pinched/stuck. In general, if a log/tree is off the ground and supported on both ends, pressure will be on the top, so saw up to 1/3 (or until you feel resistance from pinch) through the top and then saw up from the under side to meet it. If it's supported on one side, pressure will be on the bottom, so saw 1/3 up the bottom then saw down from the top to meet it. That will avoid pinch in many cases, but good to also have a wedge (or hatchet to use as a wedge) to release pressure and get your blade out if it does get stuck. Those blades do cost a small fortune.
@@caddisguy Thanks for the info! Yeah, determining the pressure spot helps a lot. Sometimes I've guessed wrong and had to fight to get my saw back in one piece 😁I'll remember to use the hatchet as a wedge though for next time if I run into problems!
