Sure is - I have "always" wondered about the practiallity of that design, as a one-man saw....

Belgian has at least one BL and in a post some time ago he did say that he too had wondered how you would hold/use the saw but in fact after giving it a run he reckoned it was an easy saw to use. I seem to recall he also has an air operated model BL.

If you have a ipl for the BL I am interested in a couple part numbers.

I have only one BL in my collection ... but it's a nice runner, just need to find another muffler for it.

IMO the BL is a very nice collector saw and has more appeal than a BLK or KS, but that's my personal take of it.

The BL can be hold close against the body, which makes it easy to hold the saw (gravity point close to your body), and the saw is quite lightweight compared to traditional 2 man saws.

It is fair to say that I like the BL very much.

Very cool. I'd love to have a BLK.

 

[benmyers]

Not many of these around here in the states. Wonder how many were ever even brought in here?

I was told the old stihl dealer that sold this saw went over to Germany to see the factory and stihl paid the bill and sent him home with 20 but I have no proof of this
