My brush blade is made by Stihl (or at least it carries their name), and it works great. It'll cut through 1" to 1-1/2" hardwood saplings and stays sharp for a long time. I don't remember how many teeth it has, maybe 6-8 and it's configured and looks very much like an 8" circular saw blade. I highly recommend it if any of you discovers that the one you have isn't up to par.
