Silkys.... Are they cutting back ??

[Swampster]

Gotto say I love silky's and use both a gomtaro and a zubat. new blades on both in the last month and they seem ok (probably snap tomorrow now...).

 

I've just bought a sugoi 360, it looks short? I want it for larger reductions as i find hand saws just too civilized and am thinking a longer one may be in order. any advice/experiences??

 

thanks.

Replacement blades never last as long as the blade you get with a complete saw thats a fact IMO

Your right, a friend has the Sugoi 360. I have the zubat 330 and side by side the cutting edge is not 30mm longer as it would sugest. Infact, its less than 10mm.

sugoi seems the way forward

The sugoi is a great hand saw. Very aggressive cutting and fast too. It's not good for trimming very little twigs though as it is too aggressive. The zubat is more suited to gentle reductions as it doesn't shred up the small twigs.

 

The sugoi has a habit of digging into its scabbard and wears it out!
