A thumbs up for this

Puts my bowsaw (with a new blade) to shame. I think it cuts on forward
and back strokes, so very fast indeed!

Looks good - I bought a S&J Garden Predator from TS a few years back and
that's bloody (literally if you're not careful!) good.
BTW, don't try the teeth for sharpness with a finger - it'll tell you!

Yep, my only criticism is that it could do with a substantial blade
guard. It really is razor sharp.

Very nice! I picked up a similar blade*, but in a smaller pruning saw
form-curved blade about 18'' (am I allowed to use inches?) long that folds
into the handle. Used it to lop off a few dead pine limbs where I had to
reach overhead from the ladder, and it cut _way_ faster than what I thought
was a good bow saw! And yes, it's really really sharp!

*in a U.S. "big box" store, so details not useful.
