Good, should you have the need again I would forget bowsaws and look at
a Silky (or other make) pull saw, Zubat or Gomtaro, though for guerrilla
footpath work I used a Gomtaro Big boy folding saw with 7.5 TPI. Blades
are several times more expensive than bow saw blades but last quite
well, are re sharpenable with diamond feather edge file and a joy to use
in comparison.

Daughters Silky was very very sharp (one reason for metal strops I
believe) and would appear to go like a knife though butter on branches
that 'looked' like they would be way to big for it.

Did I mention how sharp they were ... (DAMHIK). ;-(
