Do not scare me! I have had enough with knives already. Last but not least, wanting to try out a pair of Showa Kevlar Gloves, the GP-KV2R, I have lightly pulled my new Buck knife on the upper part of the glove, while wearing it. Very clever... Apparently the GP-KV2R are not really level 4. Or...

I am about to take a decision which could change the course of my life, and surely the weight of my wallet (which anyway will not weigh enough if I do not receive some money for Christmas). I've decided to buy three saws: the Tsurugi 300-10 for general pruning. The Gomtaro 240 Roots for roots...

Yeah, I also like curves. In women, specially. I cannot really explain why. Not sure if it is physic, metaphysic, chemical, or animal. But if I was to choose a sword, I would at least know that if I want to cut somebody like in the Samurai movies, from top to bottom, a curved sword would be...

Isn't she lovely? If when a woman smiles you can't help smiling, she's something. Now, about the saw, if she is right, I definitely need a straight saw, as that is how I mostly use a saw. If she is not right, I guess I will have to find by myself when I will have the money. You may gain back...

Biscuits or "brownies"? Ahi ahi ahi... Anyway, you made a nice journey for a while with a straight blade, would you mind sharing some thoughts on what can a curved and what a straight do better? I would also appreciate if you could consider the different needs that a not climber may have.

It depends on what you call "professional". I am a professional. Just, gardener, not tree faller. So I do not own a chainsaw myself. And actually we do not have one where I work now (we mostly do perennials and pruning). You are right anyway, I too would prefer chainsaw all the time, at least...

Thanks! What happened with your "never more a curved blade" decision? Can you explain what made you change idea again? When/why would a curved blade be better? To me it seems that with a curved blade I need to move my wrist a lot, so that the curve of the blade follows the curve of the branch...

What is the difference between Tsurugi and Gomtaro and Gomboy7 (which in my understanding is the exact same blade of the folding Gomboy) apart for the Gomtaro and Gomboy having apparently a bit wider blade (do you say wide, for the distance between teeth and back of the blade?). I say...

Hello everybody, I have found you with a google search for straight blades vs curved ones, as a second result after the video of Silky Australia with that gorgeous woman. I have tried a couple of curved blade saws and I cannot get used to them, I feel like I am using only the 50% of the blade...
