I need to cut some 4-6 inch saplings for a project (shag bark hickory). After I get the tree down, I need to limb it and clean up the brush. Because of park regulations, I can't use mechanical devices (no Stihl). I've used a bow saw in the past but that has been truly, truly a difficult process. Maybe the bow saw is just dull, I don't know. I wonder if there is some excellent saw out there that really hogs out a kerf.

Thanks.

Thanks everyone for the great replies! I'm first going to try to sharpen the saw blade because maybe I'll learn something. The next step is to by a new blade. And the dream is to buy one of those excellent limb saws.
