Nice. Competition sawers run their chains like that. Smaller kerf, and should be very fast.
I rarely get a chain down that low, as other factors have me toss the chain early.

I have a 3/8p chain like that. Its almost too much for my 011. It pulls it but it's working like a MoFo in green oak.
An 84 driver full comp chain will last me 5-8 days in spruce depending on how much dirt the cutters see.
I file my chains until there's no more cutter to sharpen and from the picture would guess you have another filing or two left. I also don't toss them until I have broken at least 4 or 5 cutters in a row. The first one or two are really just a semi-skip conversion anyway...
It almost pains me to put on a new chain knowing it will inevitably get used to cut something off the fence row and whack a staple, chuck of wire, or something else hard beneath the bark.

Bullets are the bane of my existence. Always some .223 bullets in beneath the bark somewhere in the forest.
I don't think I have hit any bullets, yet, but I probably will now! Murphy's law...
Buckshot too. An fking arrowheads!
For me when that chain broke a tooth or two, it would be retired into the stump chain supply

Cut a few bullets, wire, a cows skull jammed in a crutch was the most surprising. The worst thing i ever hit was a glass bottle, toasts a chain real fast.
I have encountered nails that had been so corroded over time that they just disintegrated when they came into contact with the chain. Just left a mark like this.
an old steel bike frame & rim once... The tree grew around it, and at some point years before the tree died, the frame was cut flush with the trunk & bark covered it up.
Never would have known or suspected it was there from the outside, as the bark was perfect & rough, but smooth( odd, but you know what I'm trying to say) Till I hit it and wrecked my chain...The homeowner showed me a picture of his firepit with the bike frame sticking out of a 25" dia log he was burning from that tree, spokes & all. I thought I hit fencing pipe at the time.
