Most Japanese products are not cheap. This is one of those products that are worth every cent. It cuts on the pulling stroke which makes this a very safe saw. It also has a double safety so it will not close on your fingers. The case, however, is poorly made with very light weight nylon fabric. This is its only drawback because it even has a space for an extra blade which if you intend to go on any type of a survival situation, it would behoove you to have. I don’t believe it’s necessary because if you use the pulling action like it is intended for you will not bend the blade requiring a replacement. I tried to contact the producers of the series “Alone” to get specifics on all cast members choices of tools. As you can expect I never got an answer. But this is with me every time I go on a trip in a vehicle or backpacking. I hope this helps. JJ (U.S. Army)Read full review

This is my go to, do it all, favorite saw of all time! Cuts through 10"-14" trees like butter! I have even cut a 23" pine down with this saw! Do yourself a favor, spend the extra money, believe the reviews, BUY A SILKY! This is now a piece of my kit that is NOT replaceable! The Katanaboy 650 can do it all with NO fuel and NO maintenance like a chainsaw! one of the best purchase's I have ever made!

Just completed 14 days of back country trails maintenance in the Olympic National Park and Pasayten Wilderness, using this tool for clearing the winter's load of blowdowns. Superb tool for everything from lopping off overhead limbs to cutting 40 cm logs while the big crosscut saws were busy elsewhere. Extremely efficient blade and very aggressive tooth pattern, with a great handle that multiplies the effectiveness of the blade.

This saw is special. It is Large, Sharp, and Expensive. The question of ,is it a good value, is specific to your needs. If you are going to go into the wilderness and build a haven I can’t think of a better tool. If you are going to cut up many lengths of firewood for your home get a chain saw. I was able to fall a small tree and make several cuts in an already downed tree with ease. This saw is a very good choice for those times when power tools are not available or you only have to make one or two cuts. Keep one in your vehicle for emergency tree or limb clearing. Shipping from Japan was expensive but much quicker delivery than I expected.

Expensive, but worth every penny. This saw represents EXCELLENT value. Less than a week to receive it from Japan to my door! Very well-designed and wicked sharp. The day after receiving, I used it to tackle a 20" diameter section of a downed tree with no difficulty whatsoever. Not as fast as a chainsaw with sharp chain, but considerably quicker and easier than using an ax on the big stuff. I consider this a "must have" for any backcountry trip. I bought it to help clear the occasional log jam encountered during canoe expeditions in those spots where portaging is next to impossible due to terrain. This saw will from here on out always be with me.
