My voluntary conservation group has switched from bow saws to Silky Zubats.
We still keep the old bowsaws in reasonable nick and replace (rusty) blades,
and take a couple out on tasks with us, in case we get a better than expected turn out,
or somebody wants to use a large bowsaw.
Zubats are much better for differential coppicing,
taking out overgrown hazel without cutting down all the growth.
Just have to be careful, and adjust ones technique to get the benefit of the pull-stroke.
