This has been really useful so thankyou.. The Silky range is huge on its own.
I cant find the Sears model on the internet. Has it been discontinued or released in another guise? Did any of them prove to be more of a "go to" tool than the others or did you just stick with the one with the longest blade?
he-he, so each and every one of them (except of gerber) outperformed the bahco? i wish you tested the one that i use, too - the fiskars... i don't know about how fast it works (pretty fast, you can get an ideea from my vids), but it is unbelievable light...
however, the saw (regardless of producer, model, etc.) is a great outdoor tool - even the sak's little sawblade is extremely usefull.
The Silky saws cut on the pull stroke so you should not put much pressure on the saw when pushing forward. Apply the pressure when pulling back, this is why the silky blades tend to be thinner than conventional saw blades. If you apply pressure on the push strokes the blades can bend. Another tip is to hold the saw so that the handle is lower than the blade tip so that you pull the saw handle downwards. Hope this helps.
Good job on the review, best ive seen.

Seriously broad number of saws to review.

The craftsman was a little heavy, but for the money it may be the best one.

Thanx, so the Sears was the best over all right? Was it a craftsman?
