Compares to my Other Forest Blades

Works just as well, better price than Forest Blades.  I cut laminates, Ply and Solid woods all the time with it.

This blade does not cut nearly as well as the worn out stock blade. I have tried a similar blade from another manufacturer and it worked great. I do not know what is wrong with this blade, but I will find out.

I have yet to take this out in the woods for extensive testing however just testing it around the house it seems to be a solid blade. The blade a good thickness with a wide gradual bevel. I carry a Laplander folding saw as well for cutting the larger logs but like batoning the smaller logs with a knife. Ideally the blade would be a bit longer for batoning however it does well on 3 inch logs or smaller. The handle has a rubberized grip which feels nice in the hand and doesn't give any pressure points to the hand when you apply a lot of pressure. The blade is 4 inches in length, overall length is just barely over 8.5 inches, it is about 9.25 inches long inside the holster, knife weight without holster is 2.93 oz, and the overall weight with knife in holster is 4.09 oz. From what I have used the knife so far it seems to be a blade that I can trust and for the price its hard to beat. Sure it might be synthetic and isn't the best looking knife but I am more concerned about reliability and functionality. I hope this review is helpful to someone. If anything changes I will update my post after I get out in the woods with it this summer.

This is a very high quality blade.  I also own the 80 tooth version.  The differences are that this 120 tooth blade cuts slower and is better suited for thinner materials.  I don't think you can get any better results for this type of blade.  I'm a little disappointed that it still leaves blade marks but that is the nature of things.  The blade marks are less than when using the 80 tooth version. I should probably rate this as 5 stars but for what I paid I was expecting a few less blade marks.  Overall it is better than the 80 tooth version just not at the level I was hoping for regarding a finished edge.  For an exposed edge I will be using the 120 tooth version and for general acrylic cutting I will use the 80 tooth version.  Tenryu quality is fantastic.  The shipping was prompt and the company representative was very helpful.

There are finer toothed blades that cut a bit smoother but this is not a finish cut blade. It seems to be holding an edge better than many. I'll but another to have it in stock rather than get a cheaper blade locally that hasn't proved to be durable if it ever breaks.

I use a lot of Oregon products with my tree service business and have always liked the quality and precision I get. These blades are no exception. They had a perfect fit, not loose and not too tight. The paint coating is thick. I mowed the yard once and hit them with a grinder. I'm picky about blade sharpness. They come sharp but the coating covers the edges. I'll will buy these again when I wear the current ones out.

The ultimate chopsaw blade. Even though I've been using the Forrest WW2 on my table saw for about a year, I was hesitant to spend the money on this blade. But I now have no regrets. I replaced the stock blade on my Makita LS1013 SCMS. The stock blade was great, but had seen better days. Why do I think its the ultimate blade? I've been working with my finish carpenter on trimming out my house and we both put new blades in our saws. I put on the Chopmaster and he put on a new Freud Diablo. The cuts definitely felt smoother and their appeared to be no tearout on the Chopmaster while their was a little on the Freud. I wasn't at the site one day but talked to my trim carpenter on the phone, he said he wanted to wait for me to get back so he could use my saw on some of the stain grade trim because it seemed to cut much cleaner than his Diablo. Now that's affirmation!

there is a sticker on the blade that damaged the finish, I could not remove sticker without damaging the finish further. I returned it. I would avoid this product unless you don't care about the stupid sticker and the damage it causes. If the finish can't hold up to a dumb sticker I doubt that it will do well in the forest.

I have previously posted reviews of the 9"/100 tooth Renegade blades and the 10"/120 tooth Renegade blades. More recently, I've purchased (and reviewed) one 8", 9", 10" Renegade Razor. Those blades have been incredible. So, of course, I decided to give the new "HAWK" blades a try.
I have a section of land that has many trees. Underneath those trees are many years of undergrowth of different types of brush and some type of plant that is so vicious that it has stickers on its thorns!
I've wanted to clean that up so I can plant grass, hang a swing from one of the trees and have a nice quiet picnic spot.
So, enter the "HAWK" blade...
I installed the HAWK blade on my STIHL and laid waste to the thick growth of brush and those killer thorn plants.
I will say this: It was my experience today that this blade is nothing short of incredible! This blade chewed through all types of brush without any trouble at all. I was REALLY happy that this blade cut/chopped those thorny growths easily and did not sling the remainder back to stick in my face.
Not that it would have hurt my looks, but I've an aversion to fish hooks in my face...
So, that's basically the long and short of it.
This HAWK blade worked REALLY well in my assortment of heavy brush and thorny plants.
While I usually cut MANY cedar trees with the RAZOR and previously listed Renegade blades, THIS HAWK blade will definitely stay in my quiver for conditions that have brush that needs to be destroyed.
GREAT BLADE! Money WELL invested.
Thanks to the HAWK blade developer!

I purchased a set of these blades in February. I waited on a review till I could put them through there paces . I had been using G6 blades and they worked great but only got approx 25 hours from a set . The expense was adding up fast . Last year I went through 11 sets . Ouch . I found these blades and decided to give thematic a try . I've used them approx 25 hours and still have a lot of life left on them . This is going to really help with the cost factor . These are 25 dollars less for 6 blade( 2 sets ) versus 3 blade (1set). These blade have less lift but for me I cut in a a lot of yards on Sandy soil . They can cut as fast as others . The mulch is a little less but not enough to make it and issue for me . All in all these are fantastic blades for me and economical .

This saw cuts much better with the fine tooth blade on it. I cut mixed hardwoods and conifers. The medium tooth was jumpy and chattery on hard wood. I love this saw. It's the largest saw that will carry comfortably in a Carhart side pocket.

Oddly these shears are (currently) more expensive than Fiskars 91696935J 25-33 Inch Power-Lever Extendable Hedge Shears, which have larger blades and telescoping handles (which do come in handy!).  But I have to say that I like the *feel* of these better -- the other shears have an odd looseness to them.  These don't -- they feel solid.

Mine were kind of stiff, so I put some WD-40 on the joints.  That helped, although they still don't open and close as easily as I would have expected.

Of course the signature feature of these (and those other shears, too) is that they give you a power advantage.  In this case it works through a kind of gear such that you open the shear handles through a very wide angle (to about 170 degrees), while the blades open far less, to something like 70 degrees.  That mechanical advantage means that more force is applied to the blades as you close them.  It's quite effective, and you'll definitely notice the difference when tackling half-inch branches.

I do miss those telescoping handles, though.  :)

I like all of Timber Wolf band-saw blades, but I use the 3/4" for all my "re-saw" work, it tracks very well, requires less tension, produces less heat- all that make my saw work w/ less strain- the method & steel used to produce the hard temper teeth & stiff back rib is a combination that makes "re-sawing" much easier & faster- these blades last 3x's longer than any other I have used in my shop (you can spend big $ for carbide tipped blades) but I don't feel that I have to go further than Timber Wolf- cost efficient, quality, long lasting- that is why I rate it w/ 5 stars

Works much better than the standard blade for mulching and side discharge. Clippings are finer and better distributed.
 I don't bag so can't comment on that

I have a Grizzly 30th anniversary edition 14" bandsaw with riser block. I have become a regular user of these Carter blades as they are much higher quality than the Grizzly blades and definitely retain sharpness longer than the Grizzly (well at least in my subjective opinion and experience).

Love the blade. But you have to have a saw powerful enough to run a 40 tooth blade.  it burned out my 3/4 HP motor on my old contractor saw.  Which turned out to be a blessing in disguise - because I bought a Grizzly 1.5 HP motor and love it!  It works the best on sheet goods (plywood, ect),  I prefer the 24 tooth blade from freud for hardwood lumber - oak, walnut, maple.  The 24 tooth gets just as good a cut on the lumber but without taxing the motor (HEAT!).  If you are building cabinets - get it!  If you are working more with lumber - go with Freud LU87R010 10-Inch 24-Tooth.  Now I have both in my aersenal!

I bought these at a local auto parts store for about $10/blade more than Amazon price.

These have been awesome on my Sequoia. They worked flawlessly for 6 months. When it came time to get new blades, I went with a less Bosch model and have regretted it horribly. I'll be getting rid of those and putting the Icons back on.

I live in the South so only have to use them in the rain or buggy summer interstate drives. I can't speak to how they perform in the ice/snow/wintery conditions.
