The reason chainsaws are not generally allowed is because they are classified as dangerous goods under ICAO/IATA regulations. This is because of the engine, and the fluids contained therein. Nothing to do with the sharpness - this is why carrying knives/axes/billhooks etc. is not an issue - they are not going to endanger the aircraft by leaking or catching fire. If you can satisfy the requirements by draining them and packaging appropriately then they're not prohibited from carriage aboard passenger aircraft. Cargo carriers such as DHL can carry more dangerous items, some of which are completely forbidden on passenger planes
