As I said on another video of yours, I ground AND polished two opposing rounded indents on the stick end, and it works great. Was it necessary, maybe not, but the stick will not move at all without intention. The polishing is necessary so it doesn’t cut the cord. This saw is absolutely EXCELLENT, and I’m very impressed with your engineering creativity! Worth every penny!!!

From an engineering standpoint , your saw is a game changer . Carbon fiber is infinitely stronger than any polymer and stronger than the majority of steel chemistries including aircraft grade chromoly . Carbide teeth for wood cutting + a metal cutting blade would be a good combination for snow mobiles and any back country vehicle . It would be easy to machine a "dedicated" aircraft grade aluminum handle which is what I will do after getting one of these . Making a canvass or cordura pouch would be easy... and quiet . Another application for a lightweight saw such as this would be for military EOD work . Thanks for your video and all the best in all future endeavors .

Thanks pretty complete FAQ and well delivered ........ agree with everything you said ........ but IMHO still think designing a model that allows the blade fit inside the handle will really make this a game changer ....... cause like you said ........ you carry it most of the time ......... a few grams (sorry ..... oz) would be a sacrifice I am willing to pay, for compact/secure/tidy functional tool (I was not scowling when I wrote my comment ..... more of an encouraging praise slap). You know Dutchwear probably have a titatanium Diturtlefurtleanga Doohickey that would work as a replacement for the cutter pin. Yes ...... orientate is fine to use in the context you chose to ....... better than drug (dragged) or aluminum (aluminium)

2 жыл бұрын
Weight: 112 gram vs 150 gram Blade: 30,5cm vs 18,0cm Handel: 25,4cm vs ~18,0cm? With this you can and should use both hands to cut and with the silky i guess its a bit short to use it with two hands. Silkys do cut really well when new but the carbide would easily win when it comes to edge retention. For finer tasks you would also need to change blades but being able to change blades make it very versatile. I got a small silky at home (pocketboy 170) and now ordered this saw. Once it arrives i can do some testing.
