I bought a Silky Pocketboy about 3 years ago. Works like a dream - unless you're trying to get into a tight spot, where the width of the blade risks damaging nearby branches and trunks. It has withstood a good bit of abuse, including being left in the rain occasionally...

Good luck.

But after sawing the limb off I trim the stump with a knife and or concave cutter. Like my dad always said there's more ways than one to skin a cat. Good growing Paul

You can go here: http://www.stonelantern.com/bonsaisaws.html or here http://www.weetree.com/index.php?cPath=21_52 to get one pretty cheap. Cheers, Brian
