I picked this saw up today from a little agricultural supplier in Mirfield.
What a saw. I originally saw the 500mm version, but it was far too obscene and at £189 far too dear. I went for the next one down, the 390mm (still obscene) but hopefully it'll fit between my Bergen and side pouch. hopefully
Only problem is that this saw doesn't come with a sheath, so it'll have to stay in its plastic sleeve until I can come up with something.
I had a quick play with a fresh 5 inch diameter sycamore log in the shed, and it cuts well. Really well. I compared it to a curved wolfgarten saw, my large fiskars extracta saw and the Laplander.
It cut far better than any of them, and went through effortlessly. Really impressed. Not really surprising because it has only 5-6.5 teeth per 30mm. A very course blade. At some point I'll try and video it in action
Here are some pictures, cheers.
