Porting saws? Sounds like some kind of fad. :hmm3grin2orange:

mastermind, blsnelling, tlandrum, tree monkey, stumpy customs, tree slinger, and others that dont advertise. tell us the model you are interested in having ported- that may sway our recommendation.
Dolmar Husqvarna Stihl Jonsered Solo
Those are the best BUILDERS in no particular order. (of those still selling real saws)

Actually, Jonsered isn't building any chainsaws, and haven't in over two decades....

Looks like you are listing those that are sponsors on this site, and post here about it - that actually has very little to do with how good they are.....
I do believe you could say the same about Solo?

niko,
i know there are others. but i thought we couldnt name them since thery are not sponsors, so i named who i could. I did note in my post that there are "others", but I dont want to break any rules and go to camp or take any chances.
someone like you, that has been here a long time and is respected might be able to get away with it- I am a "no name" and can't.

Why not support whoever supports the site.

Not really sure about that, and Solo hardly is much of a factor these days anyway...:msp_smile:
They make (sell) some damned fine saws though.

You did fine. You listed the guys on here that are sponsors, didn't make any judgement one way or the other, and left it at that.
Everybody has their favorite builder but every builder on here is well known and their saws have been run, and talked about, enough that they're trusted. I wouldn't hesitate to send a saw to anybody you mentioned.

The original question was about the best - so I think the best solution would be to not mention anyone at all, as;
1) there is no way to really know for sure,
2) mentioning some is more or less impossible to do, without also forgetting some,
3) the best ones may not be sponsors, and can't be mentioned.
