can we have the same but with metal handsaws ?
Can you do a video about japanese saws ?
Had a Corona and broke within 24hrs of use, I've tried a few more but I think the sliky is the winner for me…
Corona, Silky and Agawa Canyon saws are the only ones I use for work, camping, backpacking and trail work. They’ve lasted the longest and stayed sharp the longest too
Small critique: I would like to know the weight of all the saws, as that is a factor for folks packing a hand saw in a backpack. Great video overall though, keep ‘em coming!
You forgot Opinel, which is better than all of these.
I'm just gonna get the Milwaukee folding jab saw and buy a few blades for it.
I'll stick to silky. Especially the bigger models are unbeatable in terms of sawing speed and quality
Watching this after I made my purchase. I’d been looking at Silky but the price.. ended up with a Corona due to reviews and $25 price for the larger 10” blade and love it.
This man must be protected at all costs
Next time you do a folding saw test, I'd also like to see a test for durability with the weight test you briefly did at the end where you continually add more weight to the blade and grade them by when they snap
Great test design, easy to understand performance vs what is available locally
In my experience everything SOG is terrible and everything Gerber is above average.
Love all of the reviews. I have been researching rope saws. Would love to see a review from you all on rope saws.
I really appreciate this! I'm surprised the Korean Corona beat out the Japanese saws, especially the Silky, as everyone seems to favour those the most. I also saw a lot of Silky saw reviews showing BROKEN BLADES, and I'm wondering if the issue is caused by the USER or the hardened SAW BLADE
Curved blade vs straight and fine tooth vs rough in dry wood. 😅😅😅
Gerber used to make flat grey finish foldable knives of unknown steel quality. I guess they changed to industry standard 8Cr13Mov for most of their commercial lineup.
VERY IMPRESSIVE 😁
I have just bought the (expensive) Silky and it has proven it's worth the premium (I bought a larger size, so it's not directly comparable other than in terms of product/brand quality.)
I have had the Gerber "for year" (it's a readily available brand) and it has survived years without too much corrosion. There's no way to sharpen these blades and finding replacements just isn't cost-effective. The Gerber has been a reliable tool in the bag. Another option is a drywall saw … cuts through tree limbs like butter.
Corona all the way baby
I cut myself with one of these blades once and was wondering if you ever did a video of the best Band-Aids on the market. Because there are many people cut themselves in the shop?
Time to review Ryoba double blade Japanese saws?
I don't knwo why m watchign this, i don't even need this, These r not even available in my country.
UTTER SATISFYING
very well designed test. I wish you had Friskars in the mix.
Can you do more review with the recent Chinese brand? It's $8 and looks very promising.
I find my chainsaw is so much faster.
Everything's made in China, then we keep being told China is a military threat. I get sick of lies, or Congress not doing their job.
The Swedish sounds good
I have the corona and fujiwara, I prefer the fujiwara over the corona.
Thanks for the tests! I was skeptical that someone could do a fair and scientific test of tree saws, but you managed it somehow, like you always do on your tests.👍
We've had the same or similar corona saw as in the test for about 20 years. After a lot of abuse like sawing roots underground, getting bent by abuse and hacking at many hard wood limbs it's only now getting to the end of its life. Not all of their tools hold up as well in terms of over all durability, but over all it's a great brand for pruning work and one that's easier to find in most hardware and gardening stores. They offer replacement blades for most of their more expensive cutters too which is nice.
stihl?
what about angle of cutting? first test wasnt really acurate, blade angled front down will cut faster than blade leveled
This is the best channel on YouTube I love your videos! So helpful!! I’d love to see an updated pliers one as a lot of other brands have updated their pliers and cutters over the past couple years
……
Have you thought about doing and segment on splitting mauls.
Thank you for this awesome video. It answers a lot of my questions and the quality is awesome.
