Grind off the dead cutters. Use it for bucking large wood only. If I'd have shown you some of the "bucket chains" from bulk buys I run on long bars you would laugh out loud.That tooth caught onto something and lost the fight!
Out of curiosity what brand of chain is it?
I caught this one while sharpening, unfortunately AFTER I filed the whole one side of the cutters and a good portion of the other side.

It wouldn't have hurt much more since it's just a cheap TriLink off eBay, 13Euro/72DL loop including shipping.At the least the chain was pretty worn. It would hurt a lot more if it were on a new chain.
If You were referring to my post, that loop certainly didn't hit any foreign object.The chain appears to be a Timber Ridge chain if the logo is right.
Most times I replace the cutter with a new one from my saved cutters from doing loops from bulk. As the fellows said looks it took a good lick somehow. I know one customer here did something similar but it was an axe that it to a new chain. Most time I just see the cutters broken off.
I'm not even considering to fix that loop, it's remains are not worth the trouble!
I don't use knifes, I do all my cutting with my chainsaws . . .You always take up blacksmithing and turn the remains of it into a knife...
Really cool video. [emoji106]
Why? His mower was razor sharp!I told him that was one of the stupidest things I had ever come across.
