DESCRIPTION

The SILKY KATANABOY is a two-handed, professional, heavy-duty folding saw available with a 550mm or 700mm blade. And compared with the legendary Japanese Katana samurai sword, the Katanaboy is the largest folding saw on the market today. 

The long, well-balanced, taper-ground blade with an impulse-hardened, non-set tooth design provides extended working reach, faster cutting and handles large limbs and trunks with no effort. The non-slip, two-handed, rubberized cushioned handle provides a sure and comfortable grip even in the most difficult operating conditions.

Exceptional design, strength and balance make these saws suitable for serious tasks like cutting large timber and tree trunks and each saw comes with a sturdy nylon shoulder bag with Velcro fastening and a pocket for replacement blades.

*Katanaboy - although there is no specific Japanese translation for the word Katanaboy, the word Katana translates to "one-sided blade" and refers to the traditional long, curved, single-edged sword used by Samurai.

MAINTENANCE

Although the blades on these saws are made from the highest quality Japanese steel and are coated with a hard electroless nickel plating (a uniform, hard, corrosion-resistant finish that uses a chemical reaction rather than electricity during manufacturing), they may still be affected by rust and resin if not properly maintained. 

We recommend you clean these blades with warm soapy water and a light brush to remove tree sap and small wood chips after each use. For anything heavier (or if you've let residue build up over time), our Yanipika Sap and Resin cleaner should return your blade to good working order.

After drying your blade thoroughly, we also recommend applying our special purpose Mineral and Camellia Oil for added protection and then store your tool away in a moisture free place.
