Its hard to tell the grade but water won't sit on it once its gets worked in.

A couple of good storms and it will revert back to what it was... or at least close to it...

Wow. That looks like a lot of work they did. I think you should just reverse the pictures and take credit for building a great trail..

I'm on my 3rd Gomboy 300 blade. The first two were 5tpi, one snapped at the root of the first tooth and the other had a crack at the root of the first tooth when I replaced it. For sure I didn't treat them very well, so no complaints. My 3rd blade is 8.5tpi and with the shallower teeth/more land I'm hoping it will last longer.

A friendly reminder that these are pull-saws.
They are not meant to cut on the push.
(yeah, do I take my own advice? only on the kantana boy)

 

[MuniMan]

They snap real easy if you jamb them on the push.

I just got the Corona 14” saw and scabbard. The blades are only $10 at Lowe’s. I’ve seen lots of testing that shows they cut the fastest.

…because of this. Sadly it is true especially since it is a $$$ blade.

I have broken 3-4 silky blades over the years but they were used and abused

My poor BigBoy has been so abused but thankfully never snapped. I stupidly used to push it too and saw that thing twist and bend to ungodly angles before learning the right technique. 😳
