Beak is beak, hook is hook, both are fast. If you look at the new Stihl chain that is faster than square, it is a combination of hook/beak lovechild from hexa and super sharp C.

What's the new stihl chain?

Thanks.
Depending on the saw/application I could like or dislike that. For brushing out tree jobs that can be nice as the chips are smaller for cleanup, but for bucking I'd want the larger kerf.

I like the narrow kerf chain on most applications. It makes the saw perform like it has more power.

It DOES have more available power because the chain removes less wood so the PH has more power to spare.
