Hello everybody, I have found you with a google search for straight blades vs curved ones, as a second result after the video of Silky Australia with that gorgeous woman.
I have tried a couple of curved blade saws and I cannot get used to them, I feel like I am using only the 50% of the blade and I cannot be much precise either.
After reading the thread of MasterBlaster I am convinced that I want a straight .
But at first let me tell you about me: I am not a tree climber, I am a gardener. So, although I was instructed how to fall a tree, I do not do much of that. I mostly cut some branches which are not needed, or which are dead or sick or whatever.
I have been fine with a Pocketboy 130 till now. But lately I have felt the need of something bigger, and fixed (as I would not carry it on me all the time).
I have read that many of you (specially MasterBlaser) love the Natanoko.
Is this because it is more robust due to the wider blade with slightly curved back?
May I suppose that this would be less important for pruning? I have the feeling that in most circumstances I need a less wide blade, something which can go better between the branches.
For this reason I like the "new" Tsurugi. I think a 300 with 10 teeth per 30mm would be good.
Any feedback?
I was also looking at the Gomtaro for Roots. In this moment I feel ok with Mattock or Minimattock, but if this Gomtaro special for roots is so good, I may give it a try. I just cannot stop thinking that beside soil there can be also some stone there. Would this saw resist that?
Thanks!
