Hi David ! I select my saws based on the energy I got left AFTER cutting down wood. A shorter saw will require more pulls, let's take the Silky pocketboy 130-8 as an exemple, it will need more pulls than a longer $5 folding saw, but you will cut more efficiently with it. Possibly faster too. Anyway, cool test, I use the outback pocketboy 170 in my videos, highly recommended.

Ythis is a good presentation on comparing these saws. Helps me in choosing the one I would buy. Thanks David.

Now try it again but with similar blade shapes. My curved saws cut faster than my straight ones, even within the same brand.

Another informative vid, thanks David.

I find that because the Silky only cuts on the pull stroke, it will cut more aggressively if I ease up on the forward stroke and put more effort into the pull stroke. It's a different method of the sawing motion. It makes a difference. Don't know if the Corona is this way or not.

Pretty good saws.

I like my Corona saw so much i cut paperwood for a living and i leave my Stihl 320 chainsaw home in the shed because i can cut and load my truck in half of the time then when i was using my noisy chainsaw. It's the Corona handsaw for me!!!!

a handsaw instead of a chainsaw - and faster this = a bad Joke.

If the Corona was new, it’s likely it would outperform the Silky. :)

I wish the Corona had a sheath option like the Silky does. I sometimes hang a saw on my belt while hiking to clear some of my favorite trails. I have a generic non-folding saw with a scabbard but it's low quality.

​@tomcatt998 I was thinking the same thing I don't know to make one out of leather, light wood or even thin aluminum metal. But I'm gonna do something.

I own three Silky saws and love them but…..I will buy a Corona just to prove to myself. Can always use another pruning saw and especially at lower price compared to Silky’s. Thanks

You’ll like it.

That is also my experience

The Corona Razor Tooth Saw cut 5 slices of a 4” branch in 92 pulls. It took the Silky Gomboy 240... 145 pulls. Because the branch did not have a consistent density, I tested them on a 2 x 4 this time only making 3 slices each. The Corona Razor Tooth Saw took 162 pulls and the Gomboy took 167. Now that’s pretty much the same speed, right? Not really. The Corona is 5 years old and somewhat dull while the Gomboy is rather new and still very sharp. Amazing!!!

Who saw the lizard jump out? 😂 Around 1 minute mark.

Too fast to count David, but I too have the Corona . The Corona was $20 at Lowe's and also has the Japanese blade. There's quite a bit of difference in the cost between the two.

The Corona I bought closes all the way back, leaving no exposed teeth. A newer version, perhaps?

I think so.

Do you think the curve in the corona's blade could be part of it?

Yes, they should have, but they told me to return it to the purchase place. I discovered that Corona would make them eat it, so I wouldn't do that to a local business. Never again Corona for me.@@DavidWestBgood2ppl

I don't blame you. That's unethical!

And the gomboy costs considerably more than the corona. I think I'll stick with my corona.

What are you basing these "broken plastic" assumptions on? I've top boarded fire rolls with that saw.
