yes, I find the top handles are just a bit too twitchy. i guess its just due to the lack of the long-lever you have with a rear handled saw.

mind you, im sure if yo are familiar with them then they are just as controllable.

if you are looking for a new bar i would suggest have a word with Rob D on these forums. he has a great range and lots of expertise. i would go for the sugi hama bars, man they are nice

light and strong

 

Thanks for all the info dervishcarving, the sugi hama bars sound great, I'll get on to Rob D, cheers

Thanks the woodwizard, lots of info to be going on with
