Can't be too far back.
Back in the day (before) nobody would use a furrin' chain saw.
Everybody used Mac's*
* it's "a cutting saw!"
There was another alternative brand that was pretty big, but fergit what. I'm sure mac is out of business now - they couldn't compete with the medium quality Germany and Swedish stuff, much less the high quality brands.
A Tip - take a big saw and put a short bar on it. It'll last forever.
AND be extremely careful - these are very dangerous machines - once they cut thru bone, nerve, or blood vessels it is nothing like a knife or axe wound. Everything for a 1/4" thickness is just gone. There may never be proper regrowth even if the $50,000 medical procedure manages to save your arm, hand, foot or leg.
