Additional information

The Silky Katana Boy 500 takes its name from the legend of the katana, the famous Japanese sword, in reference to its long, powerful blade that cuts wood with impressive efficiency. Designed in Japan by Silky, a brand recognized worldwide for over a century for the quality of its hand saws, this folding saw combines performance, cutting quality, and professional ergonomics.

With its 500 mm blade, the Katana Boy offers cutting power that rivals a small chainsaw—but without the noise, petrol, oil, or pollution. The extra-wide teeth allow for significant material removal with each stroke.

Expertise

Gaignard Millon

Expertise forged through workshop experience: we compare, measure, and test each item on various types of wood. Selection guided by cut, ergonomics, and durability. A standard confirmed by professionals: École Boulle, the Louvre Museum, the Musée d'Orsay. As enthusiasts, we select only the best tools.

Workshop check & sharpening ready to use

Every tool passes through our hands before shipping: visual inspection, geometry, flatness, and deburring. If necessary, we sharpen it on a Tormek system for a consistent angle, and a clean, durable edge. The result: a tool that cuts cleanly right out of the box, with no time wasted at the workbench. Tested on wood, wiped down, protected, you receive a tool ready to work.
