It could well be wrong but chains sharpened for ripping can be
square.

who uses a chainsaw to only rip?

AJH? He once very kindly *ripped* some Oak into scantling for me.

I'd had some fallen Oak cut up with a portable Lucas mill. This can be
set up in the field around the trunk but is unable to deal with the slab
in contact with the ground.

My collection of slabs were very quickly converted!

I suppose you could keep a spare chain sharpened this way.
