Aggressive teeth come with a tradeoff. They're good for wrecking, but not so good for pruning. My regular Zubat leaves an ugly cut in small stuff. I'm sure the Aborist Edition's even worse. If I were doing this stuff all the time, I'd probably have the Zubat on my leg, and a folder with medium...

That's only for the saws that aren't impulse hardened, but the Zubat's hardened. Someone mentioned using a diamond file to sharpen the hardened teeth, but that seems like more work than it's worth to me. If it was me, I'd buy an Arborist Edition Zubat blade. It has bigger teeth to cut faster...
