Just a quick one, Silky's

Another little benefit to the gomtaros that all of you lefty arborists out there have probably already noticed is that you can put the saw in the scabbard either way.

good point one i was about to make even for us rightys still use it left handed ocasionally

i have various ones

tbh i prefere straight one my latest one was the natanoko 2000 which although is straight cuts like a curved one

gomataros are good for everything

zubats ok but not a fan of curved

natanoko ace

sugoi ace for dismantles but too rough for prunning

sawpods good if you can be bothered putting it on

I find the Natanoko 2000 is a good compromise between curved and straight blades.

agree ,used the zubat for years and probably every other silky inbetween but the newish ! natanoko 2000 in my view is the best silky i have used by far.

Not forgetting this beast:

 

 

Great for spreading jam on a lunch break or opening letters.

Given myself shark gill finger a few times with the silky zubat. And never once was it my fault.:-o

[Ben90]

Just hearing Shark gill finger made me shudder, that and looking at the scar.

 

To be honest, that would happen with any arborist handsaw.

I find the 020 the best one!!!!

 

Its a little noisier than the others, but much faster!!

I use a Zubat 300 and saw pod

I find it a lot quiter than the 200t, But only on small stuff too much like hard work on big branches:biggrin:
