Just a quick side note, if you are going to hunt with a pruning saw, the largest game you want to attempt is maybe a deer. I had a friend that tragically passed away from an elephant in a South African safari hunt with a pruning saw. As he found out you should use a two man crosscut saw instead as elephants have no branches, but instead a rather large trunk.

I've been a Carpenter and I've been a tree guy, if you want to get through thicker wood with a recipro saw there's a technique, you need to rock the saw up and down in line with the cut, it not only helps to clear the blade gullets but constantly changes and reduces the contact area the blade has with the wood, once you get the rhythm you usually fly though, however when pruning, some trees will still be too wet or gummy and will put up a fight

From my experience, when cutting overhead, it's difficult to get enough saw tooth pressure into the cut. As you pull down on a curved blade, the orientation of the teeth come in on the top of the branch and cut deeper. A straight blade just moves out of the kerf full of chips and you have to push much harder into the cut.

Diablo/Freud makes a 12" and 9" carbide tipped pruning blade that I've found to work amazing. The carbide teeth have a significant set and each tooth has a large gullet which really helps make clearing chips easier. Also the carbide teeth are virtually indestructible I've used them to cut roots without removing the dirt around them still be able to cut branches only slightly slower. I'd really like to see Silky blade up against it.

Having now watched all the way through, I'd like to add that there is a specific geometry of blades for cutting green wood (green wood is anything that is alive or has been recently). Thin blades with a wide set work, but not well. HIstorically that's all we had so it is what was used. The problem is that green wood tends to rapidly swell behind the cut, trapping the blade. Modern green wood blades are triangular, wider at the cutting edge with alternating, heavily ground triangular teeth that have no set at all, tapering back to very thin at the trailing edge of the blade. Most reciprocating saw blades are for dry wood, so a thin blade with set, and so are useless for pruning.

In my experience, reciprosaws work best when you keep the saw body plate pressed against the material. Sawing with the body away from the material with only the blade in contact makes the high speed reciprocating action less efficient. Little invisible positional changes lose a portion of every stroke. So it makes sense pruning with a reciprosaw isn't the right tool. Great video as always.

I got one of the Lee Valley pruning blades. The blade angled down in my 18V Makita, so the whole thing bounced in the cut. Blade shank broke from metal fatigue in the first season, so I reground it about like you did, and it works well on 1"-4" cuts. Definitely faster with the saw shoe against the branch, and up-down movement to clear chips. It may not be faster than the hand saw, but I last a whole lot longer with the saw doing most of the work.

Almost 38 years ago when we bought our house, I cut branches off the large oak tree in the backyard. The branches were over 12” thick. I used a Rockwell, recip saw. It was pretty powerful for the time, at 8 amps, with an 1.25” stroke. The blades were 12” long pruning blades with carbide teeth. They really cut!. I was even able to cut out the honey locust roots six inches underground with these blades, though the small stones and junk in the ground did dull them. The Sawsall was too wimpy with a 4 amp motor and a 0.75” stroke. Recently I bought the small 12” battery chain saw from DeWalt, like you, I’m tied into a battery system. This saw is great. Small as it is, it chews through 8” wood with ease, which is about the largest I do these days. With a 2 amp hour battery it lasts through 10 minutes of actual cutting, which is fine for regular pruning. With the 8 amp hour battery, I feel as though I can just keep cutting without thinking about getting another battery. Boy, these brushless motors are great! But I also find that it uses more oil than expected. It seems as though they over oil the chain, which is a standard size.

These Japanese saws are designed to cut primarily on the pull stroke. The powered saw is really only giving you the cut from a 20mm pull, and the 20mm push is just putting the chips back to where they were. These fleam, zero-set, teeth are very popular with Japanese saw-makers. Since there is no set, saw-dust can only be cleared by the teeth coming out of the work, so that the dust can fall down from between the teeth. If the cutting teeth don't clear the work (as with short reciprocation) then the process is bound to fail to some degree.

So are generally all japanese saws made that way? I know of the big.. rectangular ones but they are the only ones I've encountered.

I have the small yellow model electric chainsaw, that matches my battery collection. It's surprisingly good at even smallish logs, but I use it for downsizing limbs for the brush pile. The battery feature is much better than constantly starting and stopping my gas saw while dragging branches into a pile.

I've been really happy with the Diablo 3TPI Demon pruning blade. Have cut some stuff that was arguably thicker than I should have. Great for big thick roots still buried where you don't want to toast your chain saw chain.

At about 11.00 min +/- 42s, I slowed it down to 1/1000 speed,...... and I calculated that your extra 'sawing motion' increased the cutting speed by 0.014 %! Great work! Love the video, as always!

This why I use a 12" pruning blade in my sawzall. Then you slowly saw back and forth with the saw running and this clears the chips. Thus the 12" blade is good up to about a 6" diameter branch. This is really useful when camping because most campsites (at least the ones that I go to) don't allow you to use a chainsaw but there are no restrictions on these (especially since these are relatively quiet).

Great video Tony! So glad to have you back. Funny you find you Milwaukee drinks chain oil, I have a DeWalt electric chainsaw that does much the same, but I suspect most of that drips out due to capillary action with the sawdust it traps. As for reciprocating saw blades for pruning, I found the Bosch S1531L beats everything else I've used by a large margin.

Makita BUC122 is awesome. Had mine for 10 years now, used most weekends on a few acres of woodland, never ever sharpened the chain in all that time and it still goes through 4" branches super quick. I stopped putting chain oil in it a few years back (I got lazy), it had no effect at all to performance and the bar is still great too. The best Makita tool I have ever owned period. This is before the brushless revolution too, literally hundreds of hours on it.

I use a bi-metal Lenox, general purpose or wood/metal saw blade in my sawzitall. Works pretty well for pruning.
