[QUOTE="M.D. Vaden, post: 499432, member: 3005"] What would you say is the best handsaw for you? My pick is between the Silky Zubat and an ARS although I'm leaning away from wooden handles these days. I prefer the curved blade saws because less downward pressure is required on the pull stroke, alleviating strain on the forearms. Also, I don't care for any handsaws that have the notches between every so-many teeth, as that prevents use of the saw on smaller tree and shrub branches. A good sharp saw can keep me from pulling my handpruners out for 3/8" to 1/2" twigs and branches. But the notch will snag the little ones. [/QUOTE]
