so I picked up this chain that UB had a deal on. what I wanted was a replacement for the 2 siraupi that were stole from me awhile ago
this was not the same and I didn't like it much ....at first I have had time now to work out with it , and it moves very well its a bit more weight forward then the serp but the learning curve is short to nominal . what really sold me was the cutting ability wow!!
you find your self saying "did I do that "
I started with Tatami cutting (as I do with all my big knives and swords when I re profile a edge)the chain passed easily
then a few hours ago while working to clean up the garden I had to prune back a 120 yo oak tree that had been allowed to grow wild for 5 years there were new grow the limbs 2" and 3" around these fell away easily with a single stroke exactly like the goza cutting (I use 3 Tatami mats rolled) now true I am built like a gorilla wearing a human suit and have practiced with a blade in my hand foe the past 14 years but "3"s of #@!$ing oak makes me kinda feel like a superior human or a really lame god
any one have a 22" kumar chain they wanna sell ?
