Which hand saw and why?

[Brushcutter]

Silky 330 zubat. Always prefered a curved saw makes getting in akward places easier. 330mm just becuase i can. tried a few other brands and designs always coem back to the zubat

[Ben90]

Zubat, but mine's an un-compensating () 270mm, because I went to an event at a garden machinery shop near me and only took £100, with that I could just about afford the 270mm and a Vertex helmet set

 

You lefty's should get gomtaro's, you can put it into the scabbard the with the handle sticking out either way. I'm sure curved blades are just a gimmick anyway

[Kev Stephenson]

Silky gomtaro 300, would use a curved one but being a lefty makes them a pain

[ad15]

have a cutting-edge lex 330. brilliant bit of kit, but you need to cut the bottom of the scabbard off to stop it clogging,,,

 

tried sawpod,, can't stand the bloomin thing, wont hold the saw properly,,, if anyone wants it it's been used once, can have it for half price..

i get the straps really really tight and i find it holds it fine?

 

 

i have a 330mm zubat and a 240mm gomtaro, i started with the gomtaro but having that short blade makes bigger branches harder as you have to do more short strokes to cut the same branch, bought the zubat and never looked back!

[penfold]

300mm gomtaro, a 390mm ibuki and the gomtaro rootsaw. just about covers all eventualities.

[Mozza]

Just buy whatevers on offer, They all do the same thing

[Heads up]

Gomataro 300 dont think i've ever used anything else (surgoi aside)

Got maself a Nakanoko, I find the blade is less flexible than the gomtaro but am lookin for a new one as its bin by ma side for nearly 2 years now!! yep its blunt an missin teeth lol
