I've got a fixed saw for big stuff. Plus the chainsaw.
Those silkies cut good I like them. But any good saw should work just fine.
And to Gerber. I was a huge fan. Paid alot for the products. Had the multitool set. A friend worked at Gerber. So I'm really familiar having owned alot of thier stuff.
And the multitool? That was a flop. Leatherman is another Portland company... They crushed Gerber to the point they had to ship production to china.
Worst company ever. And the lack of quality control makes that a dangerous machete. Had one bust and nearly cut my leg off. Same with SOG! The lower end products are more dangerous to you than helpful. Especially when these need a first aid kit and hospital run to get stitches.
Yeah gotta choose a tool that won't hurt you. And the lowest quality control of both companies is pretty appalling.
