Corona Razor Tooth Saw, Out-Saws The Silky Gomboy 240

[@LoreTunderin]

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

[@ARAW-__-]

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.

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!!!

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.

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

Corona cuts on the pull also.

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.

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

I actually enjoy both, very much.

[@tomcatt998]

Make one

[@craigsellier5973]

​@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.

[@joehuber9168]

Great presentation Mr west thank you for sharing 👍👌🔥

[@Cool-Lake]

Another informative vid, thanks David.

[@wampaone100]

The corona for me

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

Me too.

[@groovr22]

Your cat is so cool...

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

Tybee's a great cat.

[@oldbones9162]

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

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

You’ll like it.

[@MichaelR58]

Interesting video David thanks for sharing, God bless !

[@pathfinder_strider]

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

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

I think so.

[@craigsellier5973]

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!!!!

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

They’re great saws!

[@xxxvvv9172]

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

[@auroraborealisknives4019]

That is also my experience

[@Uncle_Red]

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

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

Yes, it holds to the wood better… don’t know how to explain that “feel”.

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

Plastics are durable.

[@onesky8647]

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

[@lowrangeoverland9013]

Both saws are good but you are the spark master💥💥🔥🏆🥇💪🇺🇲

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

Pretty good saws.

[@barnabyvonrudal1]

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

[@robertdodd9623]

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.

[@eggbenedict-gt7mw]

Will this cut live wood

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

Yes, with ease.

[@The-Armed-Pacifist]

What is your sharpening technique for your Mora and other knives?

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

Smith’s diamond stone with a fine and coarse side.

[@The-Armed-Pacifist]

@@DavidWestBgood2ppl Thanks. I am severely lacking at that skill.

[@billlyell8322]

One criticism, guy a second clamp at the other end would be much butter for your safety. I had safety drilled into my head for 20 years, i cant help myself. Lol.

[@DennisMacdonald-r7d]

Ty i buying a corona saw n beer

[@sully4875]

🪚🪚🪚🪚🪚🔥🔥👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@quebird3108]

OK, THAT Corona looks good, but I purchased a nw Corona blade for my bow saw and that blade was worthless from the day it was new. Unusable!

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

They oughta make it right, to you.

[@quebird3108]

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

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

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

[@1Dataware123]

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

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

I always just thought that the Silky was a better saw till I started using one.

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

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