My Silky Collection

Try the gunfighter for that it's a GREAT finish saw. Its one of my regular primary saws. 6 of them get used on every ornamental or fruit tree. And my gunfighter is one of those 6 it's what I do 90% of my finish cuts with and my purple pocket boy is what I use for my finish cuts on the smaller branches.

That saw looks nice as fuck

Good pruning is my benchmark for an arborist....many will disagree but fuck em

 

[islandarb]

Prosenti does it all for me...I like a straight saw over curved anyday

 

[islandarb]

Oh yeah I never use a pole saw in a tree...ever

I almost never use a pole saw only in situations where I can avoid the damage climbing could do in order to hit stuff 10 feet off the ground I will use my pole saws but I very rarely do I think they are more of a pain in the ass than helpful

I don't finish anything with a curved blade. My larger curved blade silky's are for doing 99% of the rough cuts and thick cuts but all my finish cuts are done with fine toothed straight blade

Lovely spots..

Lovely spots..

Ton of money. Not uncommon to see yards with multiple ornamental trees all worth bare minimum $10,000. People pay big money to have them pruned perfectly! U wouldn't go anywhere near an ornamental tree in those areas with a chain saw unless u were removing it.

Agreed about ornamentals...handsaws only....

I agree wholeheartedly swing. Just look at the chainsaw and pickup guys and that will tell the tail. I have never seen a climber for any of the companies here carry a handsaw period! They all climb with husky 445's and bigger.

 

[oldoakman]

Oh, and they spike climb for pruning too.

 

[monkeylove]

I just picked up Stihl handsaw, needed a backup for the Silky. Silky probably needs good sharpening too.

Lovely set of saws but I can't stop thinking about how bad your tennis elbow is?

All of the best arborist I know climb with a stihl 020 or 261 climbing saws and a silky hand saw strapped to their calf or on their belt. The stihl their primary saw and the silky as their backup or a saw to make a quick cut with

I'm just the opposite. I do have a Stihl 192, but only use it for large cuts when they are absolutely necessary. I hate making cuts that are greater than 3" in diameter.
