Default Bowsaw

Need to get a bowsaw for use this Winter as the spinney at the bottom of
the garden has been advancing for a few years.
Nothing too big: there's an ash tree that's about 10cm thick and will soon
be tall enough to fall on the hose and some hawthorn of similar size.

I looked at this:

which should be big enough and wondered if it's reasonable.

As for spare blades, there's only this:

which gets v. bad reviews. Given that a blade will wear out or break before
I've done the job, what are the alternatives? I prefer somewhere local
rather than on t'net, so a shed is likely.

Cheers.
