Thank you very much for the info.  I had heard good things about the Silky, so I went down to the bank, got a second mortgage, and obtained a Pocket Boy.  In the meantime, I used a locally obtained Corona to hack away at my shrubbery. Indeed, you learn right away it cuts on the pull stroke.
Now here's another question, one with some teeth in it.  I really value the saw on my Leatherman Wave, but I use it sparingly in order to keep it sharp for those really critical jobs.  How would one go about sharpening the saw blade on the typical multitool?
