I gave my Piranha chain a second sharpen and the few cutters that were hard to file the first time weren't apparent.... so it seems that whatever hardened those cutters was only on the surface.

 

I'm no longer having to keep tightening the stretching chain (and I reckon that's very similar to Oregon chain).

 

So far I would say that Piranha chain doesn't cut as well as Oregon chain (and that's with the rakers taken down the same amount).

 

I'm edging closer to going back to Oregon chain, even if it costs a lot more.... unless the Piranha chain does something more impressive in the cut hereon (not even close to half worn yet). Time will tell.

 

Cheers, steve
