Pruning saws

[Steve Bullman]

i used to have that same problem bob, thats another thing i like about the sawpod, it means my zubat sheath is always the same way about

[bob]

tried a saw pod but spent all my time trying to put saw back in harness and often thought i didnt need it as couldnt be bothered to put it on but usually regreted it if its on your harness its always there only use sawpod for epicormicing limes for which its ace

I've run a Zubat for years.....it's only on empty now and then....

 

Also have the Samurai Ichban, which is flimsy blade, but At ISA Hawaii, a Japanese Samurai rep said they've beefed up the blade a bit. I'll try another. It cuts very well and holds an edge---on apapr with the Zubat, but is fragile....the old design that is.

 

I just got a slew of Zubat blades cheap..on ebay..and a bunch of other stuff...pole saw blades, some 1.4m FlingIt, a nice shot pouch, Zubat 11 fo0t pole saw for $60...!!!

 

Today's job did not involve the quiet tools, though.....

 

3 firs, 4000 board feet.. a full log truck load. butt log was 1130 bf and only 26 feet long!!

Corona 13" curved, Though I've tried the Zubat.

 

I can get them razor re-sharpened for 8$.

 

But Bodean, both those blades are impulse hardened...so they won't hold an edge for long after sharpening....

 

still worth it for the pricey Silky blades, I reckon.

 

Can't use a feather file on them, has to be a diamond stone, I think....

I like the Barnel hand and pole saws. Got 'em from Forestry Tools who have an advert at the bottom of the page.

I just don't think the price of a Silky is that much

more long lasting than 2-3 Fanno's.

I could be wrong. I have a silky at work and it's okay, It doesn't have a red cape or anything on it.

 

Jeez did I say Corona, What a dolt.

I've only used Fanno's, Gotta support Chico.

Nice Fir removal Job too, By the way.

 

 

Gotta love the self loader.
