| OK Guys, It's time for me to buy a new pruning saw. I'm finding fairly wide price differences between brands. What do you guys recommend? |

| What are you pruning with the saw? I am very happy with my silky gomboy medium tooth pruning saw. The cut end of the branch is very smooth, it cuts fast, the blade folds to be protected by the handle. It's quite expensive as folding saws go though. The bahco Laplander is another great choice and I'd imagine the offerings from corona would be a good budget conscious choice. |

| I use the Silky Gomtaro 300MM rough cut, but the price of replacement blades is getting crazy. Any good tricut Japanese type blade is probably good enough for home use. I don't like the foldups because a sheath is quicker when switching back and forth from lopper, to hand pruners to saw. Silky does make the best feeling handles but I expect you are looking for something less pricy. For home use it may last at least ten years before you need another blade if you are cutting mostly green wood. |

| Thanks Guys, I ordered the Gomboy 240 medium teeth. It wasn't too bad at $28 and free shipping & no sales tax. I looked at all of the reviews and videos comparing Silky vs Bahco, and the Silky seemed to be the one everyone preferred. Can't wait to start grafting. |
