Which hand saw and why?

[Matthew Burton]

Was interested to know what everyone uses while climbing. I've seen everything from the usual silky zubat to small folding saws and even saw someone usual a bowsaw from a mewp!

 

I've got a 300mm silky zubat and as of tomorrow hopefully a saw pod for it.

 

So, what do you use?

300 zubat, spot on, except im left handed... they need to bring out a left handed scabbard!

Just bought a Zubat to replace a Gomtaro.

I agree Chris Cnc - us left handers need a left handed scabbard!

Hi stig of the dump,

 

Silky, great brand which you can't go far wrong with. However, we have had an increase in demand for a new brand called 'Cutting-Edge', they pop up at all the usual trade fairs. The most popular sheathed saw that we supply from that brand is the 'Bronco' 310mm.

 

The secure-to-scabbard locking mechanism is designed with assisted rollers built into the scabbard sheath giving you optimal safety & storage comfort with an easy one-handed release action, and used with a Sawpod makes this saw perfect professional pruning, trimming, lanscaping, forestry and gardening.

 

Any queries, please PM us.

 

Regards,

 

Jason.

I have a samurai as it was cheaper than the silky equivilant. If claimed you can cut plaster board with it so I did and now its a bit blunt. Not impressed. Think it will be a silky again or the BQ one above as I must admit I've had one before and aren't a bad bit of kit at 13 quid.

Gomtaro Pro

Small and compact enough to be comfortable in a sawpod and has small teeth at the end for smaller branches, which is really handy

Silky masaru, as i can sharpen the blade myself. I now do not have to suffer from a blunt blade, and it should last for my working life.
