Bought this hand saw for my husband as he was struggling with some laurel bushes he had to chop down, It came this morning and I left it out on the table and went out, when I came back home he had started to us it and told me it was brilliant. The handle is a nice fit and the blade cut through the branches with great ease, (of course it is new), we shall see how long that lasts, but at the moment it is working very well and he is very pleased that I bought it for him. A few more bushes to get through so see how we go with it.
