Working with a Stihl FS-130 with bike handles. Mostly cutting thick underbrush--blackberries, rosehips, etc. maybe some 1"-2" Ash saplings, but 80% blackberries. I've seen the Stihl 3-bladed ones, reasonably-priced but they get mixed reviews on blackberries. I bought one of these carbide-tipped circular saw style blades, and while the price was pretty reasonable ($20 shipped) and it worked pretty darned good--until today when I "found" an old hidden piece of barber wire fencing that knocked off at least half of the blade tips, plus, I think it would be next to impossible to get an 80 tooth blade sharpened because the teeth are so close together....I've seen the Beaver Blade, as well as the Redmax SST series....lots of choices just know know which one is best for my application.
So, I need something that going to cut blackberries, doesn't cost too much, will last for awhile, and is reasonably easy to sharpen.......any suggestions?
