Rubbish is actually a compliment mate...

I know GB are making inroads with their EVO chain from China but it's still crap by all accounts. Quality control in regard to metallurgy is not a Chinese strongpoint. A few full time woodcutters I've spoken too have had loops of it just break during use, prior to even sharpening it.

Bylink is just Tri-link with Bynorm's own brand name on it.

Hey boys

on the weekend bumped into an old mate, he use to work in a saw service shop, he cuts a bit of wood himself and he
has this way of sharping semi chisel like as if you were sharping a full chisel with file on the angle instead of 90 degree
as normal with semi chisel, does anyone do this? if so whats it like?
he claims it cuts better, tell me what you think.

I've heard of that before and tried it. I didn't notice any difference and it's the same theory as filing full chisel at 10° angle. I didn't notice any difference but that's not to say somebody out there hasn't found out a trick somewhere

It's a possibility I suppose Rudy but as yet I haven't seen anything to suggest it.

I've got some Chinese made stuff named E&S which isn't too bad. A few guys here have loops of it (I gave a fair bit away). I did direct import a 100' box of 3/8" .058" semi chisel straight to a fulltime firewood cutter. He thinks it's great but after having a few bits shatter under load I'm not touching it again.
It wears very well and cuts well too. Only issue I've seen is where the odd loop comes too brittle and when trying to crack out the preset the whole tiestrap will shatter. This isn't actually a good thing and if you sold this gear and it wrapped around somebody's leg you'd get your arse sued off. You'd never get a penny out of the company that made it either.
