I use this to trim trees in my yard and in volunteer trail maintenance projects. I’m always amazed at how fast and effortless the saw cuts. I use it on branches or small trees up to about 6 inches diameter. Anything less than three inches normally takes only two or three strokes. It’s a great tool.

Obsolete version sent
Update to note that, though I received an obsolete version of the item and was not happy about that, the actual product as described in the listing with "Professional" embossed on the blade is a fantastic product. Just beware sellers who send the obsolete, thinner version that is prone to snapping in half!Original review: Was hoping to receive the described item. Did not. Silky has upgraded the blade thickness for the Bigboy 2000 saw. The upgraded version has "Professional" embossed on the blade and is 1.8 mm thick. The old version which is 1.1mm is thin enough to snap in normal use. I am careful, but have snapped several of these 1.1mm versions. The newer 1.8mm version is substantially stronger and is far less likely to snap in normal use. I love my "Professional" version that I got by the luck of the draw, I guess. The image and description in the current Amazon listing for this item depicts the newer and better "Professional" version. Hoping to get one of these, I ordered this recently on Prime Day as a back-up and had my fingers crossed only to receive the obsolete version that does not have "Professional" on the blade and is only 1.1mm thick. Ordered mine from Amazon vendor EBIS Mart. Beware and do not accept the thinner version.

This blade is not equal to an original Silky 2000 Bigboy blade. I am a USFS certified sawyer. I have been using a Silky Bigboy for 7 years and make 100's of cuts each season. In the past I would get 2-3 years of sharp fast cutting from a blade. Also, I never had a blade break or bend. I recently replaced a blade with one of these and was seriously disappointed. At first it seemed fine....sharp and quick cutting. I quickly noticed that the blade was so flexible that it bowed and bent very easily under normal use. I also noticed there was a slot shaped hole in the center of the blade length near the back edge of the blade. The slot was approximately 3/8 inch long and 1/8" wide. The bending and bowing seemed to be propagating at one end of the slot shapped hole. While using the blade the second day during normal use it bowed and snapped in half. The snap point was at one end of the slot shaped hole. It is obvious that the slot shaped hole causes a stress-riser and was the source of the weakness that caused the blade to snap. I will not buy another of these inferior blades. BEWARE!!! I have attached pictures of the snapped blade.
