Hand saw blades

[Steve Bullman]

I've been using a silky saw with an aggressive blade recently, i find it a good saw but can be hard to use on certain woods. If anyone else is using an aggressive saw, do you swap for a finer tooth saw on certain jobs?

[Dean Lofthouse]

I use a finer tooth saw for reaching out to cut thinner branches at full outstretch, they dont grab the branch as much so you don't have to hold the branch with your other hand.

 

The more aggressive are ok on thicker stuff.

Any climber w/o a handsaw must be a rookie.

It would take too long to murder a tree with a hand saw, they're for delicate pruning cuts Ed :wave:
