For years, I’ve used pruning saws in camp. They are generally a folding saw that cuts on the pull-back. If you think about it, we’re cutting branches, usually in the 2”-4” range. Exactly what is being cut when pruning trees. I’ve been buying inexpensive saws at the local hardware. They’re OK, but I found something that costs about 15%-25% more, but is about 200%-300% better.
A professional pruner won’t use one of the cheapies like I used to buy. They wouldn’t last until lunch time. Similarly, the professional pruner wouldn’t spend the $100-$200 that some camp saws cost. Nor would he work with a bow saw. They require assembly BEFORE using, and DISASSEMBLY and PACKING after being used. There’s about 3 minutes of wasted time.
Googelize this: “Corona Razor Tooth Saw RS7265”. You should be seeing a professionally made saw, with a sturdy red and black handle, and a 10” blade. The teeth on this saw are different than normal saw teeth. The blade is stronger: The teeth are stronger. The teeth are sharper. The teeth will cut faster - while clearing sawdust from the cut - than almost any hand saw you have ever used.
The entire saw - handle, hinge, and blade - exist to support the very tips of the teeth. The tiniest part of the saw is the only reason that the other 99.99% exists. And the tips of these teeth are specially ground.
Do yourself a favor, and get this for yourself for an early Christmas present.
