How well will this knife cut small branches? I'd like to use it when I got to my friends house.

not really sure how to answer this one... I'm guess that the serrated part of the blade would cut branches, but you may be there a while. you might want to invest in a folding tree saw if you need to cut branches down

not sure...haven't tried branchs. Just cut some rope and cardboard boxes. Did fine with those.

Used properly, it works just fine. It has been used a lot for branch clean-up and to cut smaller trees - both dead and alive. Let the saw do the work, don't force it. My wife wanted this, and she uses it every year. She loves it since it is something small enough for her to handle and yet get the job done. We do have an extra battery which is very handy.

I do not think this saw would do a quick and satisfactory job on branches 3" to 5" thick. I've used it on 3" branches several times but think it's use is more applicable in the 1 to 2 1/2" diameter branches. Consider using a chain saw for speed and ease of cut on your branches. Note: an electric chain saw will cut your branches quite well.

I used it to cut some small tree limbs, maybe 3-4" across. Cut them with no problem.

If you are patient. This is strictly a light duty tool. For occasional use, it's great. For large cutting projects, you will want to find something else. You could probably cut 2" branches more quickly with a bow saw. I already have a collection of Bosch 12-volt tools and batteries, so buying it was an easy choice for me. Otherwise, I would seriously think about one of the 18 volt or plug-in saws.

It very well weighted & will cut through thick brush as well as small branches. I have had no issues with it. In fact my neighbor used it to cut a small sapling & he likes the sharpness & ease of using it.

I have cut a fallen tree that was about 14-16" in diameter. Took about 10 min. Cuts 3-4" branches easily with a few pulls.

It's a pretty decent blade for everyday work, and could definitely baton branches 3 or 4 inches thick. But for prying I'd be careful applying leverage as its a fairly light weight and thin blade

It will but not well. Chopping small branches is easy but the shape of the head and the small blade prevent larger cuts. Works great as a hammer though

I haven't used it much, but I don't foresee a problem with it. I did make a lanyard for it to make it safer to use. Nice knife for the price

Absolutely, just put a pruning blade in it. I do it all the time on my farm. Goes through small limbs easily

We use ours for branches up to about 1.5 inches and it works great. Tried leaves and it was not to good.

Actually my grandson used it to cut down some branches in my yard and I used it to cut some also along with some bushes. It worked well.

I love this blade, it will cut anything and everything from heavy grass to small trees. Be careful not to touch the ground, like a chainsaw, the teeth will dull instantly.

It's about a little less than a foot, I believe. If you have any friends on the petite side, it's great for them - I'm petite myself and, compared with the larger knife, I prefer this one because it doesn't feel as heavy in my hand.

I've cut trees as wide as 10" across with this. On a bigger tree like that it's slower, but it makes the cuts fine. Make sure you keep the chain sharp for best results.

It'll work fine. It is really light on the back end making it very heavy on the blade end which could be perfect for cutting off a snakes head.
