As someone who’s been dealing with a lot of low mood lately, it really brightens my day to hear someone express gratitude for my anonymous, unauthorized trail maintenance.

    You can’t go wrong with any of them, and you can buy different blades. I just checked their lineup online and “gomboy” are about where your bush saws start. I’d grab a 190mm straight blade and buy a second blade. When you are out in the woods throw a pruning blade on it, when you are in the shop try and remember to swap it for a fine tooth blade.

    The bigger you go, the less you’ll find it useful for woodworking, and the smaller, the less efficient for brush clearing. Curved blades are awesome for brush clearing and straight are my preference for woodworking.

    Just head to the store and hold them in your hand, you’ll find one you like and you won’t regret the purchase.

    Oh and personal grudge: don’t buy the “hunting” one, with the deer on it and the antler or bone coloured handle.

    1. It’s the same picture but $10-20 more
    2. You want a bright colour so if you set it down or drop it you have a hope in hell of finding it again.

    Happy trails and happy woodworking.
