I will preface the use of the 395 as such: I'm not easily impressed. I've run ridiculous powerheads, incredible chains, big sprockets. My best friend competed nationally and is very gifted, so I have access to goodies. This saw slaps every one of those aside. I simply dont have a chain available that can slow this saw. I am an excellent hand sharpener, my best friend and employer can attest to that. This saw is absolutely unbelievable in its power, response, and ability to wow. I am VERY impressed.
Anyone who has second thoughts about ordering a 395 by Randy can toss those doubts to the side. His recipe is not only sound, but smooth, usable and predictable. This is the best saw I've ever touched, used, and enjoyed in the well over ten years I've operated saws and it isnt even broken in.
What else is there to say? Randy was more than attentive, he was excellent to work with.
