You probably dont care but if you're bored like me during the covid times then you can watch all of the latest series on InstaFlixxer. Been watching with my girlfriend during the lockdown =)
I carry a Silky Gomboy 240 and a Silky Katanaboy 500 out for my adventures. They are incredibliy effective. Easy to harvest all the dead wood around my camp. As you showed, it's easy to cut a plate with just a few pull strokes on the saw.
Thats so odd I got a Pocket Bout 170 today and its the first Silky Saw I have had and they are totally amazing. The Katana Boy is something else, thanks for the great video Ben
awesome review! I feel when im using the Silky Katanaboy i would have one hand on the back of the handle holding normally but the front would be above ( Back hand facing up to sky ) it helps to keep the downward Pressure ) Stay safe and stay awesome Mr Ben and everyone!
I just purchased this saw off amazon. $130 and free shipping at the moment. My honest opinion is, love the saw, perfect in every way. I can't see the need for the bigger one either. It seems like (6'2" tall) this saw maximizes the use of my reach and length. I can't see getting any additional benefit from the longer one, give the mechanics of a sawing motion.
I bought one some time ago and it cuts just like you showed. I thought the time might come where one could not but gas for chainsaw even. Still need to feed the wood stove ! Old Boy Scout, Be prepared !
We share the same bow saw. It has its place in the kit, for sure. My go to, which is always in the rig, is my Katana 500. Hopefully you didn't sacrice a camera when the stack tumbled. Cheers, Clay.
Nunca he usado una de esas sierras. Por eso me gustaría preguntar lo siguiente: Pierden con facilidad el filo de los dientes al cortar madera seca con esta sierra? Tengo sierras pequeñas con dentado Japonés (filo en tres ángulos del diente), y funcionan de maravillas para madera verde. Pero en madera seca pierden rápidamente el gran filo inicial (de marcas Bahco, Bellota, Carpa)
@@TonchyShultz sure they are high quality saws so aren’t the cheapest option. But boy does it cut like a chainsaw and is certainly is lighter to carry into the woods 👍
Hi mr ben .nice to meet you. I like your channel. Please you try silky saw Genki Temagari. I think Genki is best saw for green wood working and bushcraft. I want ask your opinion.
I have my 10" curved Corona razortooth which is an amazing cutter but I wanted a bigger saw for those bigger jobs so I ordered this one here when I saw it on sale $75 off the regular price, here in Canada everything is over priced
I've been checking that out for trail maintenance. Crazy winds lately have felled big trees blocking way and when no one is clearing them out people stomp new ones. Price is just way steep.
I watched it again, and you cut that log with 54 strokes! Amazing !!
Good to see this saw in action with its pros n cons, and tips added... appreciated you taking the time to take us along for the experience. Great job!

That coaster cut was spot on!
I need this in my life.
I've got the 500 as well and its amazing. Such a great blade. So easy to cut through logs up even 16" if you needed to.

Makes sense now that I've seen it. Good job convincing me👍

Sweet deal, here in Europe it sells for $220 give or take. :)))
Bigger saw allows bigger maximum log size
Great review Ben!
wow how would have thought! i was shying away from a saw that big but now i think its a good idea.. J..

I've been wanting one of those saws for a while now. I didn't know they now do a 1m blade, that's just mad!
$130 on amazon at the moment
The 1000 is pricey at $650, but it's a ripper. th-cam.com/video/LJ56bB13GM8/w-d-xo.html
So where's that update video you promised?
How's the saw holding up? How much cutting did it do before you had to sharpen it?
Awesome. Thanks for the demo.
"Coasters for Christmas." Hahaha!!!! These blades are a workout for sure. Thx for the vid!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well done! Very helpful...thanks!!
Wow, that's a cool piece of kit - might you add this KatanaBoy 500 to your store (fab search results on this review!!)
Cracking review mate. Have 3 of the smaller ones and want a big one

I got to buy one now. Awesome tool
Went through that like butter 👍

Hi, really cool video thanks. Would you consider doing a video on how to sharpen this saw please?
wicked review thanks
Good review... thanks
im sold. got one sitting in my ebay cart and was not 100% sure about going through with it.... should mount nicely on the side of my hiking pack
If you're cutting resinous conifers, the occasional spray with wd40 can reduce gumming up of the teeth. Great saw!
Thx for presentation ..can you tell how much you paid this saw .Ok Greetings from Canada . 👍🍁🌿🍷🍻👌
Sure they aren’t the cheapest of saws but I paid about £150 for mine. I think they may have gone up a bit in price now but a great bit of kit 👍
@@BenOrford Woow prity high price ..you can buy Chainsaw for that money ..omg..Ok Thx for answer .✌🍷🍻🌿💕👌

Made me want to buy it! But its out of silky stock and not yet on your website😃
Yes, out of stock unfortunately. Beginning of May stock should be back up!
Where do I get it
Hi, Ben can you tell me the website or store name where can i buy silky katanaboy 500 saw?
Well we have them in stock if you would like one. Just let us know. Many thanks cheers Ben
totally needs a back scabbard for that :D
Is this the best hand saw you can buy in comparison to a traditional handsaw? Like to cut trees without using my Stihl chainsaw. Cheers
Definitely. It’s great if you’ve got no power and don’t want to lug around a chainsaw. We’ll have them back on our store soon too, so keep an eye out!
Hi mr ben .nice to meet you. I like your channel.
Please you try silky saw Genki Temagari.
I think Genki is best saw for green wood working and bushcraft.
I want ask your opinion.
FANTASTIC 💯💣💣💣

Just picked a brand new one at a garage sale for $80 :D
What!?
How much does it cost?
Wtf lol I got a brochure from Vermeer and has all of these saws in the brochure lol awesome saw lol
What was the price? 👍
Katana massa!!!
😍😍😍, from Luxemburg 😉
Weight?
Man this is awesome! and their way cheaper too if you buy them directly from Amazon Japan instead of buying them from the American Amazon website.
I've bought one, awesome tool. Cut up 2 bodies last night in under 15 minutes. 🤣👍
The katanaboy 1000 is just ridiculously expensive!
Wow! Oh, $250...
I guess it looks worth it if you're actually going to use it often
on outdoor trips with no access to electricity.
BeasT of a saw
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽✌️✌️🙏🙏
Impressive!!! Great, now I'm going to go spend 140.00... but oh well!
Imagine an actual katana blade option, for those tall brush cutting tasks 8)
Great idea!!!
@@jjm9902 this is actually the real reason I want a lightsaber...
Katana x Saw = Silkysaws
Посмотрел сколько она стоит, проще бензопилу купить! За какой-то складешок 28 500 платить?!
I cut milk jugs with my silky katanboy 650
2:49 what kind of tree are you sawing? İt seems like a poplar tree... But if is it soft or hard tree as pine or osage tree Can you tell me please?
