Which Silky & Where do you find most comfortable to carry it

[TIMON]

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.

Chainsaw clipped high on the left to climb, then I’ll hang it either side depending on which side of my body I’m working. I seem to be more ambidextrous with the saw than I am the strop for some reason.?

All tree surgeons are ambidextrous -  gotta be. K

Shush! don't tell him, he still doesn't know why that blade snapped.

Do any of you guys use a samurai ! I’ve got one and found it holds a decent edge

Had one of the early ones, had way too much flex in the blade. Plus I seem to recall some snapping in the cold, may have been another make though. Perhaps the steel has improved since then, we are talking probably 12 years ago.

Absolutely. I've learned stuff of 20 year vets and and guys who are 2 months out of college. Knowledge is power. Love a bit of historical trivia too so thanks.
