Caught a guy using his handsaw for a 6-inch limb yesterday and had to speak up
I was doing a removal in a backyard in Portland and the homeowner's buddy was "helping" by cutting branches. He kept using his folding saw on limbs way thicker than it was meant for. I saw him struggling and the blade was already binding up. I walked over and showed him a proper notch cut with my Silky instead. Has anyone else run into well meaning folks using the wrong tool for the cut size?

Woah, maybe the real issue is he didn't even know which saw was for what job.

Oh man, I bet that blade was screaming at him in a language only lumberjacks understand. Next time he'll bring a butter knife for a 12-inch log, I guarantee it.

Oh man, that's exactly what I was thinking! I had this one time where I tried to split a big piece of firewood with a little hatchet and man, that thing just bounced right off. It was like the wood was laughing at me. I ended up having to go get my splitting maul and that did the trick, but it was a total learning experience. So yeah, butter knife for a log, I totally get that vibe.
