The 650mm long Katanaboy is a seriously good addition to your kit-... View
April 16, 2020This thing is freaking amazing. It's significantly lighter than expected which is nice. The pull saw design allows for a thinner blade, which means lower weight and less effort expended while sawing. My main motivation for buying was for collecting firewood without the noise and fuss of a chainsaw. I've since used it to cut up an entire spotted gum tree which fell over recently into firewood sized lengths. The largest trunk section was about 40cm. If you're not using a chainsaw, you're going to burn a lot of calories doing that no matter what you use, but I can definitely say I'd rather use the Katanaboy 650 than any other saw or axe I've laid my hands on.
The ergonomics of using a pull saw take a little getting used to if you've used push saws your whole life, but once your body gets used to it you can really fly through the timber. While it is *possible* to cut flimsy, smaller branches with it, the aggressive teeth do like to bite in so whatever you're cutting needs to be well braced.
If you're not likely to be doing logs larger than 30cm, the smaller Katanaboy 500 would probably be a saner choice. That said, I'm really glad I shelled out the extra and got the larger 650.
Elite Outdoor shipped it to me quickly and well packaged, and I'll certainly be coming back in future for my outdoor needs. -

April 7, 2020This magnetic mount is awesome! Have used it quite a few times already for spotlight hunting and I'm super impressed with it. It gives you the options of holding your torch and then quickly attaching to the barrel when required or having it on the barrel the whole time. Great price & great fast service from elite outdoor gear! -

April 4, 2020I have owned this head torch for a few years it is excellent the memory feature is great low battery integrator can get a bit annoying. charge time with a fast charger is great. To charge it you have to remove the aluminum screw cap on the charging side which if your not careful could get lost. -

March 31, 2020What a beautiful piece of engineering! With the pull-saw design, it cuts through pine like a hot knife through butter, and it's just as brutal with Eucalypt. It's the chain saw you want when you don't want to annoy the neighbours. All SES volunteers should be issued with one...light-weight, ergonomic, no fuel to carry and gives precise cutting. -
