- Even though I do not typically do product review type videos on my channel, I made an exception for this one. See why.
I received this saw from Big Bear Tools in Canada
bigbeartools.co...
Great review you went into a lot more depth than I did about its capabilities, I learned a bit more like always. I especially liked what you said towards the end of it not needing any other fuel but elbow grease! I hope it serves you well my friend.
CP
Yeah man your review got me to buy one.........in the right hands this thing could replace a bow saw a chainsaw and a samurai sword 👍
+Canadian Prepper Your review was good ... I bought one after watching your review ;-)
+Canadian Prepper I'm sure it *WILL* serve me well. Thanks for the compliments on the video. I was impressed with the professionalism with your video.
Far North Bushcraft And Survival very detailed explains why silky are at the cutting edge of saws
I'd much rather carry this seven or eight miles than a chainsaw as well. LOL.
I recently bought myself a silky pocketboy :) Thanks for the review Lonnie.
+Survival Lilly Great. I'll bet that is a nice saw. After using this one I can see that a smaller Silky for general camping and every day bushcraft use would be really nice to have. I know I really like my Bahco laplander and I'm sure that a similar silky would be nice to have and use.
Meng Lee, You were not paying attention or maybe just missed it. He addressed that when he talked about the pull cut and how the blade gets pulled taught.
pocket boy is brilliant little saw, they have a curved blade pocket boy now, overall I love my gomboy 270
..and it was Great to see you - almost - Smile about it.. :) Love yer channel, Cheers..
Survival Lilly : thanks for the info. I really learn a lot from you both. I am looking forward to some relaxing bushcrafting and canoe camping and fishing in the northern ponds and lakes of the Adirondack Park in NY.
Is this the bob Ross of the wilderness
Bob Ross was excellent.
Great folding saw and you won't regret it.
There is an alternative smaller saw made by Silky available on Amazon now which is much more affordable however it is the slightly smaller model. It's a 360 mm blade length ie 14~ inch. $46 on Amazon now.
It's called the "Silky Professional Series BIGBOY 2000"
i drooled a little watching it cut.
The beard , the demeanor, and the fact that you live the "outdoor life" just got you a sub sir. I live in British Columbia and have similar topography, wood species, weather, etc.. The worst thing my friends/family find about "outdoor reviews" is folks that have never lived in remote regions and such trying to pass themselves as "survival experts" while you hear traffic and see a Tim Hortons sign in the background. Besides all the good points you mentioned about a chainsaw vs manual, one major point is that wildlife is more disturbed with a chainsaw and may delay trapping/ hunting for a period of time. GREAT VIDEOS SIR!!! Keep them coming...A very Merry Christmas to you, your family, and of course your tough,peacefull lifestyle...sign me Jealous.
Thank you for the kind words and thanks for subscribing. I appreciate it and wish to welcome you to the channel.
I counted only 42 pull strokes of the saw and it made a clean cut through the 7" log. Speaks for itself. Thanks.
You may want to keep in mind that this is also a dead tree that is not as dense as a living tree. A live tree does take more time and work to get through even with this saw.
I LOVE Silky saws. I carry a Pocket Boy as part of my EDC, and I really want the Katana. I've seen it in action, and it's hard to believe how well it cuts even standing trees. Besides, when someone pulls out saw, you can now say, "That's not a saw. This is a saw."
great review! I have had the 500 in my "shopping cart" a few times but always chicken out as I'm afraid I will break the blade like I have many times with the smaller Silkys. I realize it's my fault for being rammy and always in a rush but as far as the flex goes on that guy did you ever bind and bend during use or have the thought of it snapping? thx for the review
+Doug Outside I have never yet had any problems with binding. However I can sure picture it happening if when sawing through a log and the log sags & pinches the saw blade. A person just has to be aware of these scenarios and operate with due caution during those times. The saw blade is quite stout. Because of the saw's extreme aggresive teeth, I find that nice slow but steady strokes are best for long term energy conservation and efficiency. Under those circumstances, it should be easy to stop yourself when the blade is binding and not go far enough to break the blade. Because of this being a pull stroke cutting blade, I don't apply that much pressure on the push stroke.
+Far North Bushcraft And Survival awesome -thx for the reply
they cut on the pull stroke shouldn't have to put that much pressure on the front stroke to break it
I have a boy and I love it
With a beard like that, you know you're in good hands.
Such a precise examination to the physics (and function) of the saw.. I am buying one even though I don't really need it! It is truly a work of sawing art!. Thanks Far North Bushcraft.
I need one of these. As a carpenter I've used hand pull saws before. Hands down the ergonomics was better. The Japanese are hard to beat when they produce a quality blade of any kind.
I've been using my Katanaboy professionally for the past 8 years. Matter of fact I used it today to remove a ten inch diameter, rock hard long dead ash and a similar sized spruce that fell across our trail system. I also made a new swinging gate and all of the rounds were cut with my Katanaboy. I may have to replace it's blade in 10 or 15 years, but I'm good with that.
it lasts that long?
I have the Silky Katanaboy 500 and I have been very impressed by it, I actually did not know that there was a 650 option or I might have gone that route but now that I have had time to use my 500 I am glad I went with it, I have cut rounds as big as 12+ inches with mine, still these are great saws and which ever one a person chooses they will have a wood eating machine. I have also picked up a Silky Bigboy so I would have a smaller and lighter weight pack option and I am equally impressed with it. Great review.
Jason
+Primal Outdoors The 650 has only been out on the market for a few weeks, and isn't available everywhere yet. My 500 is fairly new to me too and I bought it just about 6 weeks before a Japanese exporter I do business with told me the 650 was coming... 5 more inches of stroke and 5 more inches of those nasty, sharp teeth just seems quite tempting, doesn't it? ;)
+Primal Outdoors Thank you. Those "bigboy" saws do look like a great size for the pack. That is good to hear that they also are a good option.
+betweenfiveandseven The extra length can be a negative in transportng the saw compared to the 500mm but when cutting a large amount of wood, that extra length would then be quite an asset in making production wood cutting less strenuous.
Hi Lonnie, I'm really liking the flute music intro and background. When you first introduced it, several of us asked for a video on how to make one. Could you please put that video on the list to do soon?
+pjculbertson55 Thank you. I will move this request up in priority and make a greater effort to get it done. I believe that this is the most requested "to-do" video that I have ever received in the history of my channel. I would rather be out in the woods than in my shop but I will make this one a high priority.
+Far North Bushcraft And Survival Thanks Lonnie, I am really looking forward to that tutorial.
Lonnie, Thank you for helping us to stay alive during and after what's most assuredly coming.
Phil in the Pacific Northwest
If anyone's wondering these blades/teeth are predominantly meant for green wood cutting. It would absolutely fly through green in about a third of the time. Used by gardeners and arborists.
In my opinion, the Silky is better than the Laplander in every way. You have several sizes to choose from with Silky, and each size comes with a choice of small, medium, or large teeth. And the backstroke cuts better. This is one area where the Japanese really know what they're doing.
@ 72 years of age, I like to be careful. I’m not a big fan of chainsaws on slopes. I don’t need to worry about running out of gas at the bottom of the slope, or carrying a gas can up a slippery slope, after a storm, rain or ice & snow. When I use my saw, I use a Stihl easy pull. For fallen branches, I prefer my Silk 2000. I’ve got a Stihl pole saw that is a pull saw, with 3 5 foot extension handles. I really don’t like having to use any of them, but if I have to, I usually have myself for company. Hand saws are safer, quieter, lighter, and easier to transport. If you have to buy a tool, buy a good one, once, not a poor one & a good one. If money is a problem, rent, whenever possible. Loved your video, learned something new about Silky models. Thanks & be careful!
Am glad you are a how to channel and not a product channel, there are too many of them for us who like the old haaard ways, lol :)
+Tall Cedars I see that in a forest such as ours, the Katanaboy 650 is ideal. We here have old poplar forests and this saw would be idea for trees that are as large as in our area, love how it cuts deadwood like butter, thanks for this review Lonnie.
Your camera angle is just right showing the full stroke you're able to achieve and how the saw clears and expells the sawdust with each stroke. Very impressive!
Such a humble man. Thank you Lonnie
Hey Far North,
This is a great vid! One thing... Katanaboy actually CAN be sharpened since the teeth are not impulse hardened.
Thanks friend,
Paul from Big Bear Tools
Thanks Paul for clearing that up. I have been getting a lot of questions on that.
Even the hardened saws similar to this can be sharpened. Use a diamond hone and hone the top "flat" part of the tooth.
Lonnie, excellent video (beautiful saw), and I really appreciate the part about the future-a good point. Also, thanks for clarifying the word "cheap" with "inexpensive"-that's a rarity these days :D
+adarkerlight Thanks my friend for the kind words and for stopping by to watch.
Nice tool my friend, thanks for sharing your opinion about the future, take care and have a great weekend, Taro
+Taromovies Swiss Bushcraft Thank you and you are welcome. You have a great weekend as well my friend.
+Taromovies Swiss Bushcraft Ahhhh .... My two favourite bushcraft video creators communicating together :o) I actually bought my Felco 600 saw after seeing it in Taro's videos. This Silky one has my interest now as well.
+Dutch Prepper Taromovies Swiss Bushcraft does put out some great videos and I can easily see why he is a favorite of yours.
+Far North Bushcraft And Survival Thank so much to you both for your kind words and i agree with Dutch Prepper Far North Bushcraft and Survival is also one of my favorite!!!! wish you a great week, Taro
GREAT ITEM! Looks like it's worth it's weight in GOLD. Thanks for sharing Lonnie.
+imasurvivornthriver It has been a great saw for me that am very thankful that I have. You are welcome and thank you for watching.
Wow. Really cool. I've always loved razor sharp zero set pruning saws for their clean cuts, but hated the binding on larger pieces. I spent the first 5 minutes of the video wondering why a zero set blade was going to be so special. Glad I stuck around to find out. So simple, yet so profound. I also love the other features, I've closed a saw on my hand a hundred times (years pruning trees for a living). Thanks!
Thank you... I noticed on the packaging when it finally came in, that you are correct. The Silky 650mm can be sharpened with a special file
Great review Lonnie! I've been eying this one for the same reason you got it. I've had a BigBoy for years now and show everyone I know. I use it in my pack. No other saw brand comes even close.
+Barbarossa4U I'll bet that bigboy is a nice saw. I'm sure impressed with this Katanaboy.
That saw is almost taller than you are! Nice review, great saw for processing large wood.
This is what I found out about the sharpening file:
Silky file
Silky saws remain sharp a long time. Should it be necessary, then you can file the teeth of the following series:
• Hayauchi
• Hayate
• Natanoko 60
• Yamabico
• Sugoi
• Sugowaza
• Zorin
• Ibuki
• Temagari
• Katanaboy
• Todoku
Thanks for the great video. I'd bring a can of brake cleaner and some dry lubricant or WD-40. It's a Samurai Saw. I like removing complications from my life. This is a good start. You could cut down a pretty large tree with this if you don't have any dead wood. I'd prefer this to using an ax.
Hi ya Lonnie! that’s one big saw, Being 5’2 it bigger than me but it sure would give me more fire wood n less time and without wearing myself out, gonna have to save up my pennies. Thank u
That is amazing Lonnie, thanks for the review, I really like this option over carrying my chainsaw for the occasional fallen tree on our ATV trails, ideal for that application not to mention an excellent camp saw for preparing the large 2 and 3 log all night fires you showed us.
+Canesser You are welcome and thank you for watching. The Silky saws are very popular with trail clearing crews judging from reading forum posts on the web concerning Silky saws. As stated in the video, that will also be one of my main uses for this saw. We have quite a few overland miles to go when riding the snowmachines into our cabin and we never know what to expect as far as tree blowdowns.
An honest review. Unlike wrangler whatever his name is
Excellent review, you should be their poster boy for their saws. They really are the best hand saws in the world !
These are great cutting tools ! Dude get some coconut oil and drench your beard ! You will thank me. Love your videos, also my name is Lonnie also,there's not many of us. Loni Anderson of WKRP, Lon Chaney,....Thats all I can think of. I really appreciate your work on this channel.
I want to hear a video like this addressed to Mr. Anderson.
Hi Lonnie:
First Thank You for all you do and share.
I enjoy your videos very much. In fact I binged watched them for a couple hours and learned much.
I admire your kind demeanor and approachable style of teaching.
It is quite evident this is your passion.
I took the Karamat winter course with Mors and your name came up several times for all that you have shared.
I definitely was swayed to buy the katanaboy saw and when you said you could forsee a time when there might not be gas or oil for a saw this piece of kit becomes especially invaluable. Getting the most highest yield of firewood with the lowest input effort is a worthwhile endeavor when you consider the multplier of waste with other methods and how much work there is to be done is a day aside from firewood.
While $200 for the saw is quite a chunk of change and seeing the replacement blade is 150 it made me want to do a little reseach on sharpening. The file is called a feather edge file and can be had on ebay in different lengths for $7-12 plus reasonable shipping
Here is a video of the silky being sharpened
th-cam.com/video/a91eJSCL-Js/w-d-xo.html
Short of that I guess we could put a abrasive wheel on a dremel and make do with some results: that is if there was electricity.
Looking forward to your next videos.
Mors is in many ways the "father of modern bushcraft". It is a tremendous honor for my name to have been mentioned in that type of setting. Thanks for the web link.
I know this is an old video but this is the power of espousing knowledge. A newbie like me can come along and soak it all up. I love your videos. Your professionalism is especially appreciated. You do things the right way. Thanks again.
i always enjoy listening to your lessons you teach on youtube, you're a great teacher!
Thank you, sir, for bringing this product to my attention. I will definitely be adding this tool to my inventory. Looking forward to more videos. Take care!
Hi Lonnie, I'm glad you decided to do this review. I've been sitting on the fence about purchasing this saw, I think it's time to order myself yet another Xmas present :) I liked your comments at the end of the video, as Canadian Prepper mentioned. Well done.
+Johnny Yukon Thank you. One thing about buying your own Christmas presents, you know that you will most likely enjoy the gift. lol. You can also be pretty sure it won't be socks or underwear. lol
+Far North Bushcraft And Survival hahahahaha, awesome! :)
You ever receive an answer from Silky about their file sharpener?
No I never did, though I did have a Silky distributor say that the blades can be sharpened. Silky does sell a diamond file for their blades.
Haha that's a badass saw. I use the laplander. Works good. Nice to use stuff from my own country aswell. Keep the videos coming! Have a good day.
Now that's a folding saw! Yeehaw! lol
+The Wooded Beardsman It is pretty big lol. It is that very "bigness" though that make the work so much easier when harvesting large diameter wood especially. Thanks for watching.
*****
To lay down big wood you need a big tool! lol Love it.
Yes, what a saw! Seen and used it at a Symposium, but don't own one....yet! Thanks for the link to Big Bear Tools. I did not know about them here in Canada.
+Wintertrekker I don't have much experience with Big Bear Tools other than this saw but "Canadian Prepper" highly recommends them. Atb my friend
What a great review. Unless they are small, the weight of the chainsaws is too much for me now. This would be wonderful!
Thank you very much .
Your invitation to Silky Katanaboy 650 is very simple and logistically physically reasonable .
So , I just now ordered Katanaboy 650 on Amazon .
I had been wondering which one should I buy , 500 or 650 in these three years .
Very very valuable footages for the futures .
And your voice is also too much believable enough .

Good review. Love your videos! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills!!
That is a sweet piece of equipment. Maybe just a tiny bit longer than I'd like to carry, but clearly very efficient!
Theres no way $150 Katana 650 could run toe2toe with my $12 saw4 5" &under dry hardwood.
I wore out a Stanley Fatboy, $12, in 1year dry oak heating/cooking 760 sq. ft. cabin Oklahoma. Blade 510mm. Effective blade 440mm (17.5") Blade now dull, chipped. I also cut about 200 2 x 4.
It has hardened triple edge teeth.
I have heard Katana 650 lasts 1, 3 years forest service. I would guess durability comparable.
I don't think Silky saw the answer. Too expensive. I do wish I could cut up2 9inch oak logs.
I am surprised no1 complaining about outrageous wear/cost ratio.
I have concluded cutting over 5" branches wood is getting silly.
Peeps are cutting 8" logs only 2 have 2split them. Destroy a tree.
Trees can be harvested so as 2 encourage sprouts.
Thank you... I noticed on the packaging when it finally came in, that you are correct. The Silky 650mm can be sharpened with a special file
Thanks for that feedback. That is good to know. I also heard directly from Big Bear Tools who is a major Canadian distributor for Silky's. He verified what you just said.
Silky gomboy is probably the best pack saw made. Imho
I agree with your assessment of the Silky brand but I sure *LOVE* my Bigboy 2000 as my packsaw. Never tried a Gomboy so am not familiar with them.
Nice ! , I could totally use this at my work. Holy crap just checked the price on the saw $293.00 I guess I'll go without .
Never had a problem sharpening any Silky saws. My only complaint is spending $60+ for a file that is only good for 3blade filings.
Only in an extremely limited range of products are you actually able to compare fully motorized versions to their counter-part manually operated device. The fact that you as well as many others do, is a true testiment to it's capabilities. It's on my wish list for sure.
It's far more efficient to make a full sized siberian long fire that will last a full three days when you have something like this to use.
Let alone the potential for building a cabin.
LOL! That say is WAY too long for bush craft, or backpacking in my opinion!! Not to mention the price of those things! WOW!! $267.00 Canadian....pheeew, very steep. I do however love the Silky Big Boy 2000 with XL teeth, AND it fits in my pack. Cheers!
"So that your fingers won't get.." Impaled? Wow look at those teeth!
That cut through that like nothing. Great saw thanks for sharing atb John
+Turtle Bushcraft You are welcome. I know I sure like the saw. It has me sold on it. Atb to you too John. Thanks
Get a bristle brush to clean that nasty wood off those teeth
That is actually the process that I personally use.
Excellent review..! Very helpful. I've seen a review by ''Survival Russia'' last year, and you both did a great job..!
Hi Lonnie... Check out Silky Saws Australia for ideas on sharpening... Another great video. Thanks... P.S. I can only assume that all Silky Saws use the hardening process you speak of??? If that is indeed the case the video should be of some value to you??
I often heard story's about strange things that people have seen in the bush , have it be a Bigfoot, two caribou locked together at the horns, a 3 legged fox etc. Just wondering if you have seen any strange things like this...if so maybe you could do a short video on this. Ty in advance😃
Antlers not horns lol my bad😜
I don't make videos. At least not anymore. Also, my various interests would complicate things. Seriously, I have too many interests. But, I understand what you're saying about product reviews. I do think It's okay to casually mention a product you may use at times in a video. No more than a few seconds. Not to go in depth on the product. But, let's say for example if you're doing a how to, and, happen to bring out a morakniv robust, you could simply just say "This is my morakniv robust, and, I have found it to be a fairly reliable knife." I think if the viewers see that an experienced soul such as yourself uses a product, that alone already speaks for itself that it could be a good product. That could lead the viewers to research the product. A name or a close up camera shot of of the product is all that it takes.
With that aside, though. I personally don't like recommending any products or services. I just try stiff out and use what I like. For whatever department.
This saw costs what is equal to 2000$ on a Norwegian Bushcraft site.
Actually nevermind, that was the katanaboy 100, the katanaboy 65 was around 500$.
I`d probably buy one if I could afford it, until then I`ll stick with my trusty bow saw. I have a nice logging saw along with the tools and skills necessary to re-.sharpen it, which to me is pretty important if/when things go bad. It`s not very portable though.
A chainsaw sounds horrible and can be heard for miles! I go out into the bush for the peace and quiet. No power tools for this girl, thanks! I just bought a Silky Bigboy 2000 Pro, and can't wait to start using it!
My two cents on sharpening: A diamond dust file will cut the surface hardness. Making a fixture to hold the blade, and reciprocating the file accuratly to the saws tooth....( how many teeth and angles ?) and then the chrome like surface hardness is gone ! Good diamond files are not cheap.
Nice vid, thanks.
Cheers,
I got that FatBoy I believe it is called and I would put that thing up against any comparable saw in length and maybe against some that is longer. Them are some cutting hand saws brother and yes they are sharp. I ended up in the emergency room after trimming some limbs back and got my hand in the way. That is for sure a sharp saw. I don't think that Laplander could stand against that Silky. I would put that Silky up against it anytime. Great post!! Very good looking saw! I wasn't aware they made one that large. I will of sure be saving for one!! Thanks brother! Have a bless day!!
That is an interesting alternative to a bow saw. How do you think the performance of this Silky compares to your bow saw?
Thanks for the review - Martin
+NorwegianWoods You are welcome. I meant to speak of that bin the video but forgot to. On an physical effort scale of 1 to 10, I would rate an axe at about 14, my 36 inch bow saw at about 7 and the Katanaboy at about 4. I recently used my 36 inch bow saw to cut up two 7-9 inch diameter trees into 4 foot lengths and I was wore out. I believe that I could basically cut all day using the katanaboy because so much less effort is involved. I would not be afraid to use it to cut up a week worth of firewood for the woodstove out at our cabin. I used another 36 inch bow saw that we have out at the cabin to do just that when the chain saw was broke down and I think i had to spread the job over a couple days if I remember right. I would not want to repeat that job again using the bow saw if I did not have too.
Thank you for the answer. That makes this a even more tempting saw. I think I will have to save up some money and get me one. More wood with less effort always results in a more pleasant stay out whet it gets cold.
I ordered a 20”, the 500. Should suit my needs in the back yard and as a shtf survival saw.
I'm not sure that I can be trusted with a Silky saw and blade that long...all those trees would begin looking so tempting...only kidding! Super video, Lonnie. Take care...
you can sharpen these saws from silky katanaboy 500 , hayate, hayuachi, longboy. the file silky sells is a diamant file. however a good quality knife/sword file does the trick as well. at between 80 to 120 for a new blade it's worth a try
.
Good music
Excellent saw
Thanks for sharing
Definitely will get one
Beats a chainsaw
as you suggested
...
very cool saw! I shared this video with one of my other TH-cam video maker friends! his name is David Pearson. his channel is Reallybigmonkey1. I thought he'd enjoy the video as well. he is a silky saw fan! thanks for another good video! happy holidays!
Fabulous review Lonnie. Well done Sir!
I don't think Silky have a patent on Japanese saw tooth profile. Its used a lot, including in woodworking saws. Been around for a lot longer than the 20 years (patent life time)
Also your right things in the next year or two are going to get bad. Wish I could pack up and go to Alaska. Thing is I have lived in Ohio my whole life. All my family is here. Plus it takes money to get there and to live there. Also I would imagine that Canada and Alaska are going to have trouble with enough outsiders coming to live there .
This is how they used to cut the wood back in the 1800's but they had one that had another handle on the end and two people would saw back and forth together I've been looking for one that is similar to that Looks like This is what I'm looking for Chainsaws will not work cuz there won't be any gas and they're too heavy to take with you Also they will too expensive in the future to keep up Thank you
Another Great Video. Thank you again. 👍🏼
I use tri-angle blades like that for work. You can try to sharpen with a feather file, It's tough to do free hand. I'd recommend some sort of homemade jig. Just cleaning the teeth makes the saw cut better.
I just checked Big Bear these things are $409 (I guess Canadian) ..so I guess they've went up in price a bit
I still prefer this one over the 1000 version. The blade isn’t flimsy like a noodle lol 😂
I hope they give it for free Lonny, they owe you one, after this review...
Correction, It is the BigBoy I have and Dave you are so right!! The only one I have seen close to the Silky is the Corolla I believe it is called. That hand saw cuts good too! I still like the Silky though!!
Sorry, I made a typo. Those card sized sharpeners are available in three grits: coarse, fine,and extra fine. I think they are thin enough to fit between the saw teeth. You can find them on Sharpening Supplies.com
One thing I like do before I cut a log is knock the snow off . Snow tends to have a lot of dirt and sometimes there's small rocks laying in the bark. These dull your saw faster.
Well,Lonnie That Bad-Boy Will Sure Give Ya 2 Heats, 1 From Sawing & 1 for the Stove,or the Camp-Fire. Have 2 agree on your ending statement. Thanks 4 sharing Friend, Tell Connie we say Hello & Give 'Ole Buck A Scratch !.......ATB Terry & Melanie.....God Bless
+T.W. Milburn (skillet210) Thanks my friend for watching and for your ever encouraging remarks. Atb to you both
$200.00 does sound like a lot, however when shtf is upon us how much would it be worth? how much are the spare blades? thanks.
10 times out of 9 when a chain saw don't work, you need to clean your carberater, maybe even rebuild it. then next thing is your coil
Outstanding.! Nice explanation and demonstration !
Good night!! looks like that thing is cutting about a quarter inch per stroke!! The second cut took 43 strokes!! Much better review than others.
Can you please tell me when there is the Silky katanaboy 1000 mm on the market for sale? I would order this immediately !!!
Nice video Lonnie. I have the smaller Katanaboy as well as the Katanaboy Pocket 170. Great saws all the way around.
I also have the Bigboy 2000 now and would hate to be without it now that I have had it for a while.
Obviously a nice saw,but $200... might as well be a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.
When they say it can't be Sharpened they mean just that!.No File can Replace their original Technic.
someone posted another video with a katanaboy 1000 ,,,,, it sells for 600.00
Wife got me a BigBoy for xmas and it fits perfectly in my backpack. I love mine, and it will never leave my pack.
Ian M and the good thing is it will never need sharpening if you keep it in your backpack😄😄😄 just kidding with you
