Silky ZUBAT 330 Hand Saw, large teeth

This is by far the best handsaw I have ever used. It slices through small branches with 1 or 2 pulls and makes quick work of larger branches as well.

Been using this saw for years. Stepped up to the Sugoi for larger jobs but, the Zubat will remain as the day to day choice.

I have several ornamental grasses that are about 6 feet tall. The stalks are as big as a pencil, and hard. It used to take hours to cut in the spring. The Zubat worked great, especially on the push stroke. It saved hours of work. The right tool for this job.

I have used many handsaws before for my work but nothing even came close to how aggressive of a cut it has and a clean cut as well

Used to use a Fanno, not any more, WOW what a saw! This saw will breeze thru 2" to 3" limbs with ease. ( Watch your fingers ) I sometimes use this hand saw instead of cranking up a chainsaw ( Safer!) I will probably get a larger silky saw for larger work on high. This saw feels good in the hand and removes and returns easily to it's scabbard . It can be worn front handed or back handed on either side of saddle or leg mounted. Definately worth the money.

The ZUBAT is a superior handsaw that crashes all competitors with ease. I pruned a 45' tall Red Oak with a 50 foot wide crown without ever starting a chainsaw!! Very comfortable to use for a Six hour project and I felt fine the next day due to the speedy cutting of the blade. This saw will be in my RopeBoss side pocket for as long as I prune trees. I have used Fanno, ARS, and Corona saws, none of them can touch Silky quality and endurance.

This saw is one fine piece of equipment. Just be careful. I made the mistake of holding the saw in my righthand while pulling a cut branch with my left. When the limb fell the back of my hand brushed the blade. It sliced through the back of my leather glove like it was tissue. I wasn't cut too badly, thank god for the glove. Now I put the saw in the case before I haul away the limbs. This is the finest saw I have ever owned but she is totally unforgiving of mistakes.

Great saw.

I am new to this sort of, been cutting trees for 20 years but mostly with a chainsaw . Now I am pruning and got a 13" straight blade, wow cuts anything. Getting a a Ibuki 390 in the next few weeks so I can leave the power saw on the ground. Great equipment!!!!

love this handsaw. strong sharp blade. comfertable handle. i use it to take up to 6 inch tops instead of fighting to get a chainsaw in a hook before the top falls

I have the Ibuki 390,Awsome saw but the blades are expensive,mine usually last 1.75 years though.

This saw is worth the money. I've had one for a few years now. The scabbard is good strapped to your leg, but the plastic area that clicks when you insert the saw and holds it snuggly within the scabbard wears out in time. Mine has worn out, and now its common for the razor sharp saw to just slide out of the scabbard as I'm moving in a tree. That is so dangerous and unnerving that I have gone back to my old pony saw and scabbard. I was browsing here to get a replacement zubat scabbard but it appears the scabbard alone not available? That stinks. Sherrill, I need a replacement scabbard, please.

when walking in the woods, this saw is very handy when trimming trails, hinge cutting small trees. Fast cutting tool. The scabbard is a ideal way to carry for safety reasons and being right at your side.

The saw is great. Had a problem with the scabbard belt clip breaking off. Not a fun thing when your 40 feet up a tree. Zubat needs to make replacement parts for the scabbard.

If you use a hand saw ,as soon as you put this blade in a tree you we will become addicted. I did Three 50' pines in one hour trimming for a 12.5 'kv line . With nothing but a zubat 330 period nothing else to say . But on the ground and down in one hour.

Cuts trees like a hot knife through butter.

Always carried one up the tree or up in the bucket - nice for hand work (overhangs and fine cuts) but enough cutting power to help you out of a jam when chainsaws and hydraulic saws fail.
