Question 1

what is the difference between Bigboy and Bigboy 2000? I think 200 has curved blade and regular bigly has straight blade? any other difference?

Accepted Answer

The bigboy 2000 has a 2000mm curve to the blade and the bigboy has a straight blade. I have the 2000 and would definitely recommend the curve helps keep the blade engaged which makes cutting even faster.

Question 2

What are the advantages of the Bigboy 2000 (curved blade) over the 360 (straight blade) ?

Accepted Answer

The curve on a pull-cut relieves pressure on the wrist as the tension is in the fingers as the teeth bite and hold the saw down on the wood, which saves from a sore wrist by having to push the saw down onto the wood; and a pull cut is easier than a push cut on the arm muscles.

Question 3

how does this compare to say a 21" - 24" bow saw?

Accepted Answer

A folding saw will work in tight areas where a swede or bow saw will not fit (pruning branches in a fruit tree).  Is it faster?   Not faster than a 21".   Maybe as fast as a 24".  Bow saws shine in 30-36" lengths where the blade can remove a lot of wood on each stroke.  It's kind of apples and oranges here....

Question 4

Can the blade be sharpened?

Accepted Answer

Maybe. The blade teeth are impulse hardened and very hard. You would need a diamond feather file or maybe a dremel with a shaped stone and a steady hand. A regular file just slides across the teeth. I used the same new blade for 5 days straight on the Pacific Crest Trail. Probably cut 30-50 trees and limbs. Still sharp. I plan to just buy a new blade every year.
