I'm sure this has come up before, but i use zubat 330 on my leg with a sawpod. I had a gomtaro but found the zubat heavier duty and harder to snap the blades.

Which I've not done for a good while, although I've fed two to the chipper instead! (When feeding the chipper Connie branches catching the saw on my leg unnoticed).

Yeah it has. Zubat 300 for me also in sawpod. I snapped a bit off the end once so it was about 260 and carried on using it because it was sharp but really found it too short.

I’ve always sworn by the Natanoko 330 in a sawpod but lately I’ve switched to the Zubat fastened to my harness. The shape of the blade makes pruning above head height much easier. The tail of my strop kept getting caught in the handle with the sawpod.

Most comfortable place to wear it is in the cab having a cup of tea. K

You been working with @TyCorrigan by any chance  ? K

Gomtaro for me. I prefer the straight blade as I found the zubat difficult not to compromise the cambium on other braches on some cuts that are tight 

 

Horses for courses though I reckon. 

 

The bigger curved blades do get through larger chunks quicker. So I have both. But the gomtaro is my buddy.

You could make a film titled that .  Somehow I see Will  Smith as the lead ? ...?

Do you have the strop hanging down on the right then? Assuming sawpod on right.

I guess it's the way I was taught and I've stuck with it, strop hanging down on left and chainsaw on right (silky on right leg) so occasionally the chainsaw handle gets hooked on the silky handle. Overall though the inconvenient moments of the sawpod outweigh the convenience.

I'm intrigued by the strop hanging down on right if you also have topper hanging there.
