The saw is easy to use, working almost effortlessly through logs. I bucked two five-foot cherry logs roughly 18 inches in diameter with it and was amazed at quickly the rounds rolled off. The folding/locking mechanism is intuitive and easy to secure. And you want to make sure you lock the blade, because the Katanaboy is razor sharp. The ergonomics of the handle give great purchase and help prevent fatigue. It's easy to get into a smooth rhythm while using the saw - just let the Katanaboy do the work. I have a chainsaw that has seen better days, but was not eager to spend $500-plus on a suitable replacement. I enjoy processing firewood the old-school way - I used axes-only to drop a few trees last month - and I thought the Katanaboy 650 might be a chainsaw substitute. I still have to test it in falling work, but I plan to use an axe for the face cut and the Katanaboy for the back cut, wedging as I go. We'll see how it works. One thing I do know is that the Katanaboy will be much easier to carry into the woods than a chainsaw, gas and bar oil, especially with the nifty sheath/sling. While it's not really relevant for cutting firewood, I am amazed at what a smooth surface this saw leaves behind on the end of the log. A precision tool, to be sure. I can't comment on durability, as I've had the saw only a short time, but the components and hardware seem to be high-quality, with the possible exception of the plastic knob to loosen/tighten the locking mechanism. I can imagine that breaking if I don't pay close attention. I'll update the review after extended use. UPDATE: After nearly a year of use, I continue to give the Silky Katanaboy 650 five stars. I have had zero problems with the saw, and it has proved to be highly durable. After lots of cutting work, the teeth remain razor sharp. I have used it in felling work, as I had envisioned in the earlier review, and it has worked great. I open the face cut in the tree with an axe and then make the back cut with the Katanaboy. Given the blade size, it's easy to add a wedge behind the blade to prevent pinching in the cut. I have even experimented with making the face cut with the Katanaboy. It certainly works, but I prefer an axe for that application. You may be wondering, why would you use an axe and a handsaw to fell a tree if I could use a chain saw. Here are my reasons: 1) weight when carrying gear to a work site; 2) noise while working; 3) physical, mental and spiritual fitness; 4) a love of old-school woodsmanship. If those things don't matter to you or are irrelevant to your situation, then a chain saw would be a better choice. I made a comment above about the Katanaboy being irrelevant to firewood processing, which isn't entirely true. I have certainly used the Katanaboy to buck logs to great effect. The problems that can arise relate to ground clearance and stability of the log when sawing the final rounds. Propping up the log can solve the first problem, and another person holding/sitting on a log or wedging it between two standing trees or in a v-notch (if low enough to the ground) can solve the second. (I do wish the saw had an additional locking position, like the Silky Bigboy does, to eliminate the ground-clearance problem. Just a few degrees past horizontal would do the trick.) As others have noted, the saw cuts on the pull stroke, which may require some adjustment in your cutting mechanics if you've mainly used push-style saws. Also, with a blade roughly 25.5", I find the maximum log diameter for effectiveness to be about 20". If that becomes a problem for you, there's always the Silky Katanaboy 1000 as an option! Review: Slippery when wet - Its sharp, it cuts fast, and is light enough to use all day. Took down multiple trees this weekend with it landing from 5 to 8 inches in diameter and even cut them into logs for the wood stove. Thing is a beast. THE ONLY CON if you sweat or are working in wet conditions you need gloves or a wrap for the handle. Grips become super slippery. Still a 9.9 put of 10 product and will always recommend. ## Features - This beefy two-handed folding saw is Silky's answer to the "man-powered chain saw" - Made from Premium Proprietary Japanese steel, results in ideal blend of tooth hardness & blade flexibility - 25.6" (650mm) blade with XL teeth (3.4 teeth per inch) Sturdy, nylon shoulder bag included - Electroless nickel plating provides superior wear and rust resistance - The folding saw of choice for trail building, ATVing as well as all your outdoor needs ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00RD9JCS2 | | Best Sellers Rank | #82,206 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #112 in Handsaws | | Blade Length | 65 centimeters | | Blade Material | Electroless Nickel Plated Steel | | Blade Shape | Rectangular | | Brand | Silky | | Brand Name | Silky | | Color | Black/Silver | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 1,308 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04903585710653 | | Handle Material | Rubber | | Included Components | Silky KatanaBoy 650mm Folding Saw, nylon shoulder bag | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 34"L x 5.5"W x 1.5"H | | Item Length | 34 inches | | Item Type Name | fixed blade,hunting knife,outdoor,camping | | Item Weight | 2.8 pounds | | Manufacturer | Silky | | Manufacturer Part Number | 710-65 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | Manufacturers limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials & workmanship | | Model Number | 710-65 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Number of Teeth | 87 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Large Blade, XL Teeth, Taper-ground Design | | Power Source | Manual Powered | | Special Feature | Large Blade, XL Teeth, Taper-ground Design | | Surface Recommendation | Wood | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Type | Manufacturers limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials & workmanship | | Wattage | 7.58 watts | ## Product Details - **Blade Material:** Electroless Nickel Plated Steel - **Brand:** Silky - **Color:** Black/Silver - **Power Source:** Manual Powered - **Surface Recommendation:** Wood ## Images ![- KATANABOY Professional 650mm Folding Saw XL Teeth (710-65) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51UZFunGpbL.jpg) ![- KATANABOY Professional 650mm Folding Saw XL Teeth (710-65) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61-5spxyT8L.jpg) ![- KATANABOY Professional 650mm Folding Saw XL Teeth (710-65) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61AULdNZW6L.jpg) ![- KATANABOY Professional 650mm Folding Saw XL Teeth (710-65) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81dmG0GwUXL.jpg) ![- KATANABOY Professional 650mm Folding Saw XL Teeth (710-65) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81q1Xso+ifL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: What diameter log can this cut?** A: I regularly cut 6 to 10 inch diameter branches and trees with it while hiking and clearing trails. It's blade's about ~25 inches long. I've sectioned fallen trees that were 16 inches in diameter with it. It takes a while - especially if the trees have started seasoning (are no longer green). Take your time, and bring a lot of water to drink. It's lightweight, so a great tool to use while clearing steep hiking trails. But for sectioning 50 to 75 feet tall 16 inch diameter trees, it's a workout. It makes short work of limbing live trees though. You can cut through fairly large diameter branches in minutes, and 4 to 6 inch branches in about a dozen swift strokes. If you're going to cut a lot of easily approached and trucked-out wood (a quantity that hints at needing a chainsaw)... get a chainsaw. The diameter of the trees you cut will need to be much less than the length of the blade - with at least 3 inches of free blade movement on both sides of the tree... so I wouldn't try to cut anything thicker than 18 inches with it. Hope that helps. **Q: Will it work on air dried timber (peeled logs) or is it only for green wood?** A: This will work on various types of wood. Silky blades work on the "pull stroke" & for this model, the recommended cut capacity is 10" in diameter. **Q: What are the size of the teeth on this model?** A: XL - 3.4 teeth per inch I don't think I've ever seen the 650 offered with anything other than XL teeth. Maybe they assume if you want such a big saw, you'll want aggressive teeth? **Q: Has anyone tried sharpening these katanaboys with a silky sky blade sharpening file ?there's confusing info on if impulse harden steel can be sharpend** A: I just got the 650. On the front of the package it says it is sharpenable but I haven't looked into which file is needed or how much skill it would take. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Woodsman's Saw *by J***R on May 21, 2022* The Silky Katanaboy 650 is an outstanding tool for the woodsman.

Still a 9.9 put of 10 product and will always recommend. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Well Made High Performance Tool. *by S***X on September 13, 2015* I've wanted one of these for quite a long time but couldn't justify the price. This was a good enough deal that I splurged. It was worth it. It is a very well built tool like all of the Silky Saws are. It is large enough to cut logs that would otherwise require a chain saw. You can make it through a 15 inch diameter pine log in about two minutes if you're in shape. The very large, very sharp teeth make short work of harder woods as well. The non-set teeth design leaves a very smooth cut making this appropriate for arborists and even for construction projects where one might have to cut very large material and have reason to care about the finish of the cut. It's very nice that the Katanaboy blade is on the "can-sharpen" list for Silky blades since replacement blades are so expensive. At a full two pounds, and thirty three inches long folded, it isn't the easiest pack saw to carry, but if you have need to cut large diameter logs, you will save the calories you spent carrying it when you do some cutting. The two-handed pole handle plus straight blade means you use your latissimus dorsi muscle and your hips more than your biceps and triceps to operate the saw. That results in a whole lot of power and also means a whole lot less fatigue. The carry bag this comes with is a nice touch. It's made from some sort of rubber-backed rip stop and has a slot for a spare blade. ## Frequently Bought Together - Silky KATANABOY Professional 650mm Folding Saw XL Teeth (710-65) - Silky Replacement Blade Only KATANABOY 650mm XL Teeth (711-65) - Silky KATANABOY Professional 500mm Folding Saw XL Teeth (403-50) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/32599076-katanaboy-professional-650mm-folding-saw-xl-teeth-710-65](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/32599076-katanaboy-professional-650mm-folding-saw-xl-teeth-710-65) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-09-09*
