I've worn out 3 of the above model, and would recommend them above all others.

I would strap the scabbard to my leg, with the saw attached on a long leash, this model will cut through 6" green Oak, with ease. I used my small Stihl saw, far less in favour of the silky for high pruning.

But, and it is a big but........they are fearsomely sharp......so much so that you can have a severe cut......and not know it until you see the red stuff.....they take no prisoners......Mea culpa......ouch...
Nice one, its good to get a pro's opinion, I'll get one to keep in the truck.

This thing is very sharp yes, the teeth are electronically impulse hardened (apparently ) which makes them stay sharp for longer.
