Which hand saw and why?

[armchairarborist]

zubat 330 usually replace every year which means fresh blood every year(never share a silky with a friend).. the clip is annoying on scabbard after a while, can they be resharpened? as i have a small pile of them

some silkys can, not sure which, methinks its not the impulse hardened ones?

 

silky ibuku. curved blade, straight sheath, perfect for cack-handed (sorry, ambidextrous) peeps like me. great size, can handle anything. great for de-epicormicing n dead wood.

 

ive also got a silky pro gomtaro, with a double sized tooth, great for nice fruit tree prunings.

 

the polesaws are great, and the loper head is a fantastic at taking bigger bits off than most. any other polesaw youd have to keep swappin heads over!

 

the samuri's are very flimsy, snapped a blade everytime it got used.

Silky Zubat 300 and Sawpod for me works well every time

You do have to clean the end of the holder out it tends to build up with saw dust but this only takes a few seconds
