Siky Saw, what to do?

[Cov Climber]

Unfortunately whilst climbing the other day, I managed to snap my Zubat 330mm blade.

I have a few options.

I Was looking at getting either a 420mm Sugoi or Sugowaza saw? or do I get a replacement blade for my zubat and then buy a 300mm Gomtaro saw. The second option would mean I would have 2 saws and a choice of curved and straight blades for around the same money!

 

I look forward to hearing your answers.

 

Cheers.

Don't like curved blades, I like mini gobs and back cuts

Never seen a Zubat break . We use them extensively every day and no problems at all . The Zubat has a much more powerfull cutting action which is a must if your cutting larger limbs . Unless your a glutten for punishment or doing small trees i would stick with the Zubat at all costs

Ah the bastard I snapped mine about a month ago in a beech, luckily I had a spare although when I buy again I'd like a straight blade one.

Yes u can bud takes about 30-40mins to do all 3 edges. But have found the finishing cut to be rough compared to the blade being new

Why not buy a CeUk handsaw. I was thinking oh god those samurai ones are back, 10 months in and my trojan 250 is still strong and i got a replacement blade which made it pretty much the same cost of a silky!! but with another blade so hopefully another 10-12 months without worrying about buying.

out of interest who sells the CEUK ones be interested is cheaper than the silky have tried others but no match to the silky for sharpness
