Very little difference in price between dealers, occasionally cheaper on Amazon as their prices yo-yo so much, they are well worth the high prices. Cutting Edge do similar saws (also high quality) at lower prices if you are on a budget.

 

Which silky suits your needs is a matter of personal choice most people end up owning a few. In the last 2 days I have been using a Katanaboy an awful lot which I bought from another member on here that decided they didn't have a use for it after all whereas I have used it an awful lot and will continue to do so but I also have other hand saws for different jobs

I prefer curved blades which generally cut faster as opposed to straight blades which leave a marginally tidier finish so tend to use either a Silky Zubat 330 or Cutting Edge Trojan curved 330 most frequently which one is purely a case of which comes to hand first there is no real difference in performance between the two saws even though one was almost half the price of the other.

Another for the natanoko , best all rounder I've found.

 

To be honest I haven't tried any of the others.... but have done such a huge amount of work with the Natanoko and it feels perfectly balanced.

cheers, Steve
