Aug 4, 2019 · The Zubat is a great saw but I am missing the Sugoi, if for no other reason the 420 version is a curved handsaw with a straight scabbard that allowed it to fit in either direction. Now with the zubat if the saw or scabbard gets turned around during use, the saw gets stuck halfway in the scabbard due to the curves going the opposite way.

Jul 24, 2010 · Zubat has been by my side, actually, on my knee, for years. If I have a tree with a few large cuts I'll bring along the Sugoi. If the large cuts are low and inside the tree, which is usually the case, I'll have the S sent up just like I would a chainsaw for the larger cuts.

Nov 4, 2021 · The Zubat does break blades if you are forcing the cut on the up stroke or it bindes. The Hayauchi is a tank but care must be taken so it doesn't get bent or dented. The Zubat flies with me in the lift.

Feb 15, 2014 · The blade tip broke again not long after that. The plastics also felt cheap. I wasn't impressed. It cut good while it lasted but no better than a Zubat. Sugoi: This saw is amazing in terms of cutting. It fits on my leg pretty well but I wish they would make a Zubat length Sugoi. Either way, the cutting ability of this saw makes up for the extra ...

Mar 6, 2016 · When I do pruning climbs I keep a Zubat 330 strapped on my left calf and a Sugoi 360 on my left hip. With the addition of the Sugoi to my harness, I find that my chainsaw stays on the ground more and more. Instead of three saws I would pick two and extra blades my self. Or maybe the Hayauchi pole saw, I love mine.

Feb 21, 2007 · The Zubat is lighter, and I have found that due to curved design of the blade you tend to apply your force along the middle 70% of the blade rather than 100% of the blade you get with a Natanoko. I like the feel of the Natanoko, it is weightier than the Zubat and has a nice balanced controllability to it.

Feb 20, 2007 · I like the zubat the most. We have both the Sugoi and the Ibuki at work and I can't say I use either one, probably cause all we have are right handed scabbards for both (Im a lefty). If we were doing a fine prune on an older tree I would probably just stick with my zubat because honestly I only see a small differnce in speed when both are sharpe.
