I read through this whole dang thread to see if any of you guys are as cheap as I am about handsaw blades?
I have a set of jewelers files I use to touch up my handsaw blades with. I even collect freshly dull blades from other climbers that work great when touched up a wee bit.
Razor sharp tools are the mark of a pro!

Ibuki in a Sugoi scabbard for me, Sugoi if not too much hand sawing, both attached to the scabbard with a home-made snap/bungee that I can one-hand release and re-attach. We need the saw makers to give us scabbards that have a thumb lock push button release, like some knives are now designed with.

The thought of a push button release scabbard needs to be carried to the next logical step, a push button double locking interchangeable blade that attaches to both your handsaw handle and your polesaw etc.
The beauty of this logic lies in the enhanced safety of having the cutting blade itself securely stowed in the scabbard when it's not in use.
The interchangeability allows for saw scabbards with a choice of 2-3 blade styles to choose from all in one scabbard.
I've often thought the same interchangeability logic is sorely missing in chainsaws.
You have a power head, then bars and chains of varying lengths and chain styles.
A double or triple locking quick connection between powerheads and bar/chain configurations would even allow the bar/chain/drive unit to also be stowed away safely in a leg scabbard when not in use, enhancing safety even further.
Look closely at the Maibo pnuematic trimsaw in this vid, pay close attention to the custom leather saw scabbard the saw is on top of. The scabbard is designed for saddle ring attachment. The saw weighs 3.5 pounds.

ARS Pro Series handsaw has a scabbard with a "locking" feature. I keep looking at it but its even more expensive than the Silky.
Torque is totally screwed on that Maibo pnuematic saw, but by staying on the top end rpm it's still great for pruning at 2-3 inch wood.
This is the torque monster pnuematic chainsaw that our own navy seal teams use for underwater demolitions.

Yeah baby!

I use the pro series ARS saw with locking tab on the scabbard.The saw is close in quality to a Zubat(Zubat still being better) but the scabbard is awesome for keeping the saw in place and simple one hand thumb release to deploy.Also attach to saddle or leg(scabbard with SawPod my choice)The blade seems less rigid than Zubat though I've noticed new Zubats seem a little whippy of late.Anybody else notice this(getting cheap with metal thickness maybe?)

I've got the ars saw. I broke the blade 3 months into it on a hot summer day. As nice as the scabbard might be I thought that the blade would be a little nicer. I've never broken a blade before.
I'll give the samari a shot next time but for now I really am impressed with the zubat. It's stays sharp pretty long and it kinda snaps into the scabbard. I've only ever had one saw fall out and that was the gomtoro. I won't buy it again

Almost forgot. I fixed the gomtoro sliding problem with a small piece of velcro. Now it doesn't slide out anymore but then again I don't use it much either
An interesting aspect of future handsaws will be incoporating them with pnuematic motor powered reciprocating handles.
No more tennis elbow, just pull the trigger and apply pressure and let the pnuematic motor do the heavy monotonous work.
Imagine your Zubat with a one inch reciprocating throw at 20 throws a second!

Yea it's called a sawsall, or you could by one of them battery op chainsaws with a 4" bar.
