For those of you who think that Stihl & Husqvarna are the only manufactures, then take a look at Chainsaw Collectors Corner http://www.acresinternet.com/cscc.nsf?OpenDatabase
There was once even a diesel chainsaw !
I had previously read in my old copy of Barnacle Parps Chainsaw Guide that all modern chainsaws are based on Andreas Stihl's original design & that when German patents were cancelled during the second world war a load of manufactures had brought out their own versions, but the list is mind boggling.
