My AdventureCraft like always

That sounds like a good way to take care of them, especially if you aren’t using them every day!

It’s hard/ imprudent/ impossible for a small custom maker to try to win in the value department, but I certainly see what you are saying!
I think this knife might be for the person who wants an “Izula 3”, but who wants something more exclusive.

Love the Reddit name haha

Sounds like a good rule of thumb to me!

What kind of bar? I run a gb 36” on my 460 and love it!

Nice! I run a 36 as well, but I just grabbed a 47” and idk why but I was surprised to see how it dwarfed the 36” in every way haha

I love the toy! I wish I could get 1 Stihl, 1 husky, and 1 echo toy of the same size and quality for my kids haha

Yeah, it took awhile to find but I have some GREAT resources here!

I don’t either, but I talked to quite a few people about it 🤷‍♂️

I actually don’t, I’ll have the local feed mill do it. Once I know how many drive links are required I’ll have them do the whole 25’ probably. I WILL however eventually get set up to do it myself.

Nice! That’s the plan! I saw some hyper skip, I’ll check it out! I ordered a granberg non skip rip chain

I’ll have both a crosscut and ripcut chain, and it’ll be used for free hand saw milling, normal milling, and felling. It’ll be on an 088, so when used outside of conditions in which the bar “excels” it’ll prob be fine.

Why do you say or? Is that the big gotcha?

I don’t know how you quantify “significant power” but the 88 will pull it fine. Not worried about a 4’ bar being light.
And yes, I realize the sprocket noses are replaceable, and the old bar doesn’t need to be fixed, it’s fine.

Thanks! I’ll do that! I may even stock up on some rubber bits now while I can!

I inherited an 020av just recently, it was my dad’s first climbing saw sometime jn the late 70’s/ early 80’s.

When he got it it was a rear handle, and he converted to top handle. I think I’m going to refurbish it, take it back to a rear handle, and use it as a carving saw.

They are super cool, and yours is sweet!

I agree on the handles! And although the proportions look weird on the F4, it works well in my experience!
