Katana means the curved single-edge sword of the samurai, and the Katana Boy earns the name: it is a folding saw at a scale most people have never seen, available in 500 mm and 650 mm blade lengths. Silky's razor-tooth Japanese blade rips through logs and timbers that would normally call for a chainsaw, then folds for transport. Three saw sizes: the 550 for logs to 11 in, the 700 for logs to 14 in, and the 1000 for the biggest work. Replacement blades come in 500, 550, 650, 700, and 1000 mm; the 500 and 650 blades fit the 550 and 700 bodies.
