Silky Saw Katana Boy 500 - Test

[@RichAllfieldnohit]

Love it, I got mine for a hundred bucks a while ago. Too heavy for backpacking I've found but I put it behind the seat in the truck for when I come across a tree that's fallen across the dirt roads I frequent. Works like a charm.

[@Dont_Poke_The_Bear]

So many chanced for a "THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!" I lost count! lol! That's a huge tree for a folding saw! Epic work!

[@RichCiminisCrustyTissue]

"it's hard to tell if I'm getting a full stroke since it is so big" that's what she said!!!!

[@highonimmi]

hey, bubba! I got the saw for 130 on amazon for black Friday....still, you know I gotcho back....don't forget the big boy 2000....what the hell tree was that....concrete?I was so excited watching ya saw I damn near spilt my beer:)

[@yahman21]

I just picked up the Katanaboy 650.... real awesome saw! Biggest folding saw ever. Love your vids, Tac!

[@highonimmi]

[@yahman21]

+highonimmi eBay for $213.00 It was a seller from Japan but it shipped reasonably quick.

[@yahman21]

+Yah Man That price includes shipping.

[@preparedmind101]

Awesome. Candian Prepper hooked me up with his guy, so I should have one to test soon.

[@DCgeek13]

Looking forward to it

[@presto4548]

It is truly the Godzilla of folding saws.

[@DCgeek13]

I wish I could get one, but the laplander is more in my price range

[@cbr600rrturbo]

sweet man I'll be there

[@Bruce6001]

Omg Chris I can't believe you cut the straps off your ilbe what were you thinking?

[@wheelsgonewild1286]

I have the Silky Big Boy. It took over space in my gear by pushing my Bacho out of the way. I use my silky now for almost all my cutting. It has also reduced the need to carry an ax. I love my Silky.

[@austinadams5285]

What are you?... a ad?

[@gnpahdc]

Awesome from a subscriber, awesome bit of gear, and great vid. Keep 'em coming, Tac!

[@guns4funcajanajustin]

What a beast! That thing is wicked! Nice drop on the tree!

[@MrMann703]

I'm late to the party, ordered mine today, I envy the prices you guys have on things, in Canada it's always around double what you pay down South. If you see this great video Tac, always enjoy your content

[@jackmehov5788]

[@spokanesurvivaltrainingand5797]

a lot of people might pass you for knifing techniques but I do believe that's a hundred percent legit USMC training slashing that's awesome you're great with a knife brother

[@MarkThomasBuilder]

Thanks for testing the Silky, Tac! I've always thought about picking one up. Looks like they're worth the money.

[@scottydog636]

Good timing! I was just researching and pricing one of these. Looking at the 600 version though. Might as well get the biggest! Love your vids, I always get a sincere laugh from your antics, wish I had your enthusiasm. Rock on Tac!

[@tcruz86]

Arriving today and looking forward to cutting to fuel firepit. Thanks for great demo + humor👍🏽🤙🏽😂🌴

[@cbr600rrturbo]

Anytime

[@CedricAda]

you look like the grim reaper holding that thing, Tac! What an awesome subscriber you have there

[@burkefeaster9883]

I thought the Silky Bigboy was impressive, now I am blown away. Great video.

[@cbr600rrturbo]

+Burke Feaster me to

[@highonimmi]

+Burke Feaster dude, that big boy is still a great saw. I love mine. hell, I love them both!

[@burkefeaster9883]

+highonimmi yeah I started with the small pocket boy, but I'm working my up in size. still wouldn't trade the pocket boy.

[@highonimmi]

***** don't blame you. that pb is perfect for most normal jobs....and it can fit in damn near any type of kit you would want to build. sometimes, a person doesn't need a huge tool to do the job!

[@toddklekotka3340]

Damn thats a big ass saw! Awesome job Tac, that definitely the tool to have for camping or long term stay in the woods.

[@osamabinliftin1981]

Todd Klekotka better to have a wooden saw u can replace for long term

[@osamabinliftin1981]

Just Like an axe

[@Veesaki]

Very convincing test you did ! That saw "moves" thru that tree a carpenter's saw goes thru 4X4 !

[@osamabinliftin1981]

Kirk Veesaert should hope so considering you can buy 500 saws for the price lol

[@spyderbro9205]

Hilarious! Tac, you and this saw are freakin beastin on this tree!

[@LeoLazzarotto01]

Nice to see you have some generous subscribers!!

[@brianmccann666]

Tactical has a new favorite saw. Ahh yeah.

[@massey-rn8mq]

Always fun to watch your vids!! Keep it up!!! I'm an electrical ok man and I use silky saws on smaller simpler stuff because they're light to carry and super fast.

[@massey-rn8mq]

Lineman

[@rainmayhem4255]

Great video

[@b75s]

LoL at 6:49, who else thought Tac was going to do a karate jump kick on the tree?

[@kennywheelus6857]

Me,lol

[@nurseactual]

awesome saw. thanks TAC.

[@cbr600rrturbo]

+Jason Mcdonald anytime

[@frankcastle1272]

I thought my lil corona saw was great...wow....great vid TAC...

[@40belowful]

Cool saw! I have the one half that size:) love it

[@Dovahninja]

That was great to watch, now I want one.

[@mr.delacruz559]

Highonimmi you are a rock star!!!!

[@highonimmi]

+Daniel De La Cruz thanks....I gotta admit, I had as much fun watching him tear into shit as you did:)

[@tomjuzba8450]

awesome,now that beast deserves a HIGH FIVE....

[@preparedsurvivalist2245]

Screw the big stuff. You could use that on small stuff all day long and it would take like two seconds to get through it with no energy expended. The ultimate survival saw.

[@eddraper]

Epic in every way! Love it!

[@jeffstanton1915]

Best hand saw I ever seen

[@michaelmoore5438]

I agree....got to have one of these....

[@NeilTheKnifeGuy]

That thing is the definition of awesome. Not much you can't do with that saw. Wow!

[@cbr600rrturbo]

+Neil The Knife Guy so true

[@salottin]

Aaaaaaaw yeah!!! That was epic! What a saw!

[@amrasurvival5580]

awesome beast a fitting saw for a ninja like you

[@Captain-Flynt]

omfg that thing is an absolute beast

[@Shooter11B]

You know what is crazy Tac? They make and even bigger one called the Katanaboy 650!!

[@cbr600rrturbo]

+Steven “Shooter11b” Szabo dam!

[@knivessavelives7887]

Hey tac what is your favorite large fixed blade knife?

[@umbalaba]

That is one crazy saw! Could you do a rip cut with it? I am just curious what it saws like along the grain.

[@shadowdance4666]

They're great aren't they. I've had my Katana for a year and half. I think the best way to preserve them is to put power only on the pull stroke and not on the push stroke. It keeps them from bending. An old toothbrush and rubbing alcohol cleans it up nice. I try to avoid using on fresh pine. I picked mine up for $95amazon. Prices range wildly on this particular saw. Why wouldn't you notch the tree like you would with a regular chainsaw first?

[@scoopdedoop2673]

WOW! that is an awesome present!

[@livingsurvival]

Amazing saw.

[@buckeyebunnyhunter]

Holy Sheet! Heck of a Saw!

[@matthewtaylor9063]

Your funny, when I need to smile I just watch one of your vids. I am glad you didn't pull a Wiley Coyote move.

[@drzarkloff506]

I'm loving that saw. I have to admit that is rather have a fix blade version.

[@shadigif8916]

Very Tactical

[@ambrose8496]

that was an incredibly dangerous way of cutting a tree down.

[@supertrampalex]

Now that's a saw! Great vid playah! Are you planning on doing more camping vids soon?

[@redbeard6606]

That's a freaking monster.

[@crosshair64]

Awesome my brother Tac

[@odinandreassen3018]

Could you tried timber rattler western outlaw bowie ? 😎

[@Cain0078]

Love it to bits!

[@YouAreNotFree.]

Starting to rival some of my cross cut saw's i collect that thing look's beast mode.

[@noahkoenig4447]

nice video as always, brother.

[@dispatchforthwith]

Well Tac, I guess this makes you a 'silky' playboy ;-)

[@highonimmi]

smooth as silky baby

[@robfromaz1977]

Cool saw bro. Just so you know, cutting a tree at an angle will not help it fall that way. Which ever way its leaning is going to determine that. And you should always make a face cut first then make the back cut. Look up a Humboldt cut.

[@josephmelchor7661]

all jokes aside I think it'd be kinda cool if someone made a larger folding knife with that kinda lock and see how it compares to a lockback

[@triumphant39]

Old comment but that's kind of the way some of the older early-modern era european folding knives worked. Some of them, though, not all, but brands like laguiole, douk douk, otter messer and etc use a lock that you press/tilt up, then let it down in the tang of the knife, which is essentially the locking mechanism on a silky saw. The main difference is that the silky lock is made with stamped components, and that type of lock can either sit against the tang of the knife, or interface with it. Either way it might be worth trying out some of those older style knives, do some shopping around and research first before you buy though.

[@danofiremano]

If you would've notched the fall side it would have been much easier! LoL

[@djkmark]

You can by it on Walmart's web site for $126. I almost bought one back in the fall.

[@scottf.3808]

Now that is just am awesome saw to have...

[@ComicKidzz]

I don't even like saws but that's just impressive.

[@bobwampler3387]

I've got to get one of these!!

[@brianmccann666]

185 total strokes !!! 34 strokes 1/2 way... 74 strokes 3/4 way...

[@highonimmi]

you, sire, are a study in patience....ty for doing that cuz, to be honest, I was gonna count....but you did even better!

[@brianmccann666]

Next time once Tactical gets 1/2 way through, he should change his cut. Move 90° to continue cutting the tree down. ...B... A....C ...D... Start a A. Cut across to the B/D point. Then move your body to the A position. Then start cutting the D towards the B since its smaller now. Also would be wise to insert a wooden wedge to keep the tree from pinching the blade at various spots...

[@thebrizzy]

They should make one fixed blade with a short handle with some type of streamlined cover or sheath for the blade. Save some weight and bulk and all that jazz.

[@product_six8569]

BUTTER!

[@bearpawtracks]

Awesome tool.

[@greggreg2458]

Nice video as always

[@paulie4x1]

Say Heah Playboy, I have the Silky Bigboy2000, should I get the Katana 500, It's in giving you recieve, You need to do him right now with some of your toys.

[@paulie4x1]

Say Heah Tac'ie My People. I was thinking of getting that Silky, But I play in a similar playpen as yours, and I find my Bigboy 2000 is big enough. But yeah, That 500 is sweet.,,.

[@woodlandsnorth]

[@highonimmi]

+Daniel Lapointe it's great when cutting snow blocks for igloo style walls. survival Russia shows how he does this. when I saw that I just had to get me one....when my bro and I used mine I just had to get tac one!

[@daniellapointe2590]

[@highonimmi]

Daniel Lapointe I know! when I saw Canadian prepper rock one I was like, "ohhhh billly...billeeee barooooo." lol

[@highonimmi]

+Roy Fernbach got it for $130.00 with black Friday sales on amazon.

[@omarcorrea1996]

[@ActionHero29]

[@kitkit5450]

[@RealBushMonkey]

not much of a survival tool, but great for around the property. Get them dead lower branches of the trees to eliminate ladder fuel for fire and get some sun to the forest floor for regrowth. Im gonna get the Gomboy for in my pack

[@highonimmi]

+RealBushMonkey don't count out the silky big boy 2000. great saw. I got that one, too.
