silky sugio 360mm

[ledders666]

Anyone ever used one? pros and cons? im thinking of upgrading from my zubat, but there quite pricey

Awesome saw!!! I use it on take downs mostly and use the zubat on reductions and thinning jobs.

The teeth on the sugoi can be a bit aggressive for small pruining jobs.

Would dffinatley recommened them!!

thats what i wanted to hear, yeah i was going to keep the zubat in good condition for sensitive pruning work.

I prefer the 420, hasnt got the silly vine slicing bit on the end, and it comes in a straight scabbard, which I prefer. The scabbard isnt very robust though.

[ledders666]

do you ever find 420 to big? not sure i'd like it maybe it will get in the way, altough i do use my silky over a chain saw and so the qiucker the better, is there a speed differnce between the two sizes?

[ledders666]

Another i just looked at, is the YAMABICO has anyone used this, looks quite good to

Agree peter the scabbard is usless for the money you pay imo ...and it blunts just as quick as any other hand saw so a replacment blade is going to be as much as a decent silky any way,would not buy another well probably willl because although they are big and bulky they look cool:001_cool:

[Rich Rule]

they can be sharpened.

[Peter]

I personally dont find it too big, its no bigger than a 200T, and I can lug one of those around any tree.

 

I dont think the current model Sugoi blades are sharpenable, the original blades werent induction hardened, and the new ones are. Could be wrong though.

[ledders666]

would you recomend a 420 for largeer work, and a zubat for smaller pruning? hmmmmmmmmmmmm i hate desicions and its only over the size silky i should get
