There are loads of different Silky saws, the red handled F180 that I got is a faster cutting one with less teeth, they do a finer one with a yellow handle, the ones with the curved blades are good but I got the F180 cos its light and small as it will be going in a backpack.
Cheers mate

As a tree surgeon/forester, I've been using these saws for years......

https://www.qualitygardentools.com/p...bat-330mm-saw/

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.

Yeh I wanted the G10 but nobody had any in stock, and they were more money too, I think the most I saw it for was £120, I paid £65 https://uk.knivesandtools.eu/en/pt/-...masur-wood.htm

I got it today and it is a quality knife, very pleased with it and it looks great with the scales its got
