The blade is very sharp, definitely cuts faster and cleaner than the blade that came with my saw. But it appears to have a fairly small bit, meaning it's not easy to carve sharp turns. In pine I burn myself if I try to cut a corner that is too sharp. The packaging says the prescribed amount, but I don't think Revain's listing shows that anywhere at all, and it's probably something you should be aware of. I didn't actually know you could get a different number of teeth, but apparently it must matter since it says right on the Olson box, it says "Style: Hook. Sentence: ETS. It looks like whether "ETS" means "each dentition".", or each tooth alternates left and right. Maybe in my case to get sharper corners I should also order a 1/8" blade (or use my spiral saw). Although it looks like a great blade! on my ryobi that uses 62" blades it seems to work well and cuts FASTER across the grain compared to my original blade.
