I bought saw after seeing it being used by professional tree surgeons and having a chance to use it on a sizeable tree. The draw cut is simple and less effort than the traditional push cut. The slightly curved blade is easy to use and allows clean cut in a confined space. The belt mounted scabbard-like holder clips the blade in securely - useful when both hands are needed mid-job. It's a shame that virtually everything is black. The older version I tried had a red handle which was easier to see.

My second Silky saw which simply amazes with the speed and ease of cut. Had a lot of heavy pruning use in just a couple of days since delivery. I should have bought one sooner. Great substitute for small chainsaw whilst limbing in awkward spots.

Bought cheap saws in the past and they end up being thrown away, so decided to invest in something decent and was not disappointed. Used it to cut off about 3 feet off 12 foot high row of beech trees - no problem. Use it as it is supposed to be used and cut on the pull stroke only. Minimum effort does the job quickly and would recommend + when you pay a higher price you look after your tools better !!

These saws are fantastic. Proper professional and long lasting stuff. Ive had three now as i use them so much . Scabbard is really good too. Just remember gloves every time !

While the cost was high the performance of the saw is wonderful. There were inch thick branches of our leylandi hedge that this cut through with four or five long strokes. It was less effort than using loppers and can cope with thicker branches than even the largest loppers. It made the job enjoyable so for me the cost was worth it. I think I can probably do without loppers altogether now and just use this instead.
