Picked a handsaw over a chainsaw for a tight backyard job today

Had to drop a big maple limb between a fence and a shed, so I grabbed my Silky Zubat instead of firing up the Stihl. Clean cut in 20 minutes with zero sawdust cleanup. Anyone else find themselves reaching for manual tools more often than you expected?

Wait, did you mean zero sawdust cleanup? That Zubat still made sawdust, right? I mean its a saw, it has to make dust unless you cut bone dry wood that turns to powder. Maybe you meant no big pile or no chips flying everywhere? I get that though, the silky blades leave such a clean finish you barely have to sweep up after. Ive been grabbing my folding saw way more for stuff in tight spaces too, quick and quiet. Just dont want someone thinking a handsaw makes zero mess at all.

Honestly, are you really tracking sawdust from a Zubat or measuring how clean it actually cuts?
