My Corona did not come with a saber and I have not found one made specifically for my Corona and they run in mid $20 range."
"My neighbor brought his chain saw over to help me cut limbs but after seeing how quickly this little saw limbs trees he decided to take his saw back home."

"After 3 months of daily use, it's still sharp."
"I did not think through the issue of cutting the tree stumps down to ground level which I was unable to do because of how thickly the trees grow and the uneven ground."
"On dead branches (on lemon tree), more sawing motions needed but still pretty easy."
"It did cut through fresh palm leaves with ease !"
"The edge is ridiculously sharp, however, so I plan to keep it in my saw drawer rather than dangling from a hook in the tool closet (I've been attacked by stuff in the tool closet far too many times!"
