As a gardener, thank you for your showing silky saws, I only came across a few weeks ago watching corporal corner, They’re not sold in my state so I’ll purchase online, There were times working when I needed a serious hand saw. keep well. Daz from australia
I have the Gomtaro 300MM straight blade saw and I swapped out the original blade that came with the saw and I went with a fine-tooth blade and it's treated me extremely well over the last number of years. The scaber has two rollers in the sleeve which works great also. Silky Saws are a bit expensive but, you'll be happy that you paid the extra and got one of these fine hand pruning tools.
Nice work Nick . I like my scabbard attachment on my harness but I know a cpl leg scabbard types and they love your leg mount , you're right to be partial to it haha .
No Samurai? I like the blue handled Challenge for pruning. The long Tsurugi is my top choice for removals. It wasn't covered in this video, but the Stealth pole saw runs circles around the others. I just have to keep my neighbors from borrowing it.
Geez, I dunno that I'd be using the tip of my saw to hook my climbing rope. I seem to remember the arborist I worked for did a test on what it would take to completely cut through a climbing rope under tension with a japanese pull cut saw. If I remember right, it required very little effort...maybe even less than one whole stroke. Memory may be a little rusty though, that was nearly 30 years ago.
Exactly the sqme thought. Seen enough videos in training sessions where the rope was under load and under tension it just snapped. However I think he might be using the blunted saw tip, when the rope is say not under tension? But even still, I think there are better ways to do it than using saw and accidentally damaging it.
Someone needs to invent an arborist saw blade that fits a sawzall/reciprocating type of saw. I use one with a wood blade. It cuts in one direction. It’s battery powered and portable. An arborist blade that cuts in two directions would make it a great pruning option.
You might like one of the folding saws we sell! They're available in a bunch of different sizes and are easily packable.

An hour of watching UA-cam videos before I finally found one that bothered to give a reasoning for choosing between curved and strait! Thanks!!
Glad it was helpful!

I just got the zubat arborist 330 XL teeth
Absolutely amazing hand saw and the silky scabbard that's included is the best on the market
I’m looking at one for larger limb work. Have you used it in anything as large as a 20” diameter limb?
@@toneloc415 I’ve cut up to around 12” with it
I’ve got a silky katanaboy 650 that I’ve cut up to 24” logs with
Great video. Thanks
Glad you liked it!
Great information. Thank you. Zooming a bit would help in comparing...

Can i put the zubat saw on the left leg because i used my left hand ?
A whole new meaning to having the high ground when you think samurais are up in the trees with those foldable katanas lol.

not enough chip clearance in the short stroke of a sawzall.
Why did you stop carrying the Samurai saws?
They are on the site!
NB. ALL BLADES WILL BE BLOODED UPON DAY OF FIRST USE.
Silky ain't worth the expense. Corona is the best.
Silky saw? A shame he can't articulate clearly.
For a PREPPER ! THESE ARE TOO LARGE !
