Tried a Silky saw over a Corona on a big oak removal
I had this massive limb hanging over a roof in Portland last month and borrowed my buddy's Silky Zubat. The difference in cut speed was insane, like the wood was butter compared to fighting with my old Corona for 20 minutes. Any of you guys notice that big a jump switching saws?

Abby's not wrong about the brittle thing. Broke my Zubat on a knot last year.

Hold your horses there, buddy. I've been using a Corona for years on oaks and I've never had it take 20 minutes on a single limb unless the blade was dull as a butter knife. You probably just never sharpened it. A Silky cuts faster but it's brittle. One wrong hit on a nail or a knot and you're buying a new blade while the Corona is still going after a file job.
