I'm inclined to disagree with you Andy.
The one I have would not be described as huge.

I mean the one they describe as a "katana". It's really quite big!
Not quite as big as my Japanese rip saw, but I'm using that in a
workshop where I have room to move. Because it's Japanese and has a
"stick" handle, you have to move your body around quite a bit to keep
the angle right. Up a tree, the handle of their big saw is just a bit
unwieldy. I usually prefer my "Goat Head" saw for heavy pruning in a
tree, as the "goat"-shaped head allows you to hold it from quite a
wide range of angles.
