I think Nate, @fordf150 , mentioned having inner EU style ones, maybe You could ask him - though I think he didn't have outer ones.
Just a thought.

I am considering to purchase a outer EU spike for my PS-6400, my PS-7900 has a US style set that @computeruser kindly sent to me.

I knew you had gotten a set from them for the 6100 and was hoping you knew if they had em for the 6400. thanks

Not yet that I know of. Ive been busy with other stuff and havent made it a priority. The spike for the 6100 came from Adirondakstihl

Can't You guys order the small European PS-6400/7300/7900 spikes in the US?

I'll ask what they cost here (Croatia, Europe), should be 12-15 Euro per spike though.

Nope. Can't order them. I have tried many times

FYI , EU small spike vs. USA Style 1 spike



They are great for bucking/cutting smaller stuff and limbing, not so great for felling and bucking big logs as the PH easily comes in contact with the wood/bark.

Thanks for the pics WDE. Fordf150 is sending me a set of the older US style spikes like the ones in your picture. My saw came with the new style ones which are about 3 inches long.

 

[wde_1978]

Those USA Style 1 spikes are almost exactly 2" long, measured from the PH.

They are nice, could have a tooth or two more to make the gaps smaller, might be a tad better if they were at least 1/2" shorter.

Considering I only used the short European ones for 9 years, I actually like the US ones quite a bit.
They are great for felling and good for bucking, not so great for limbing and cutting thin stuff though.

I hope You'll like the new spikes!

I know this is more or less solved, but in the spirit of the threads topic allow me this little bump.
