Top two saws today are Sthil and Husky.  In 1919 there were three top saws, Simon, Atkins and Diston.   Anybody got any?  I have a Simon - it was made in Canada.

Got a pic of it?  I thought power chainsaws were newer that that, sounds interesting!
Turbosawmill M6 (now M8) Warrior Ultra liteweight, Granberg Alaskan III, lots of saws-gas powered and human powered :D

Found this (although I think mooleycow was talking handsaws).

QuoteAndreas Stihl - Father of the Modern Chainsaw
In 1926, German mechanical engineer, Andreas Stihl patented the "Cutoff Chain Saw for Electric Power". Born in 1896, Andreas Stihl founded a company that manufactured steam boiler prefiring systems in Stuttgart, Germany. In 1929, Stihl patented the first gasoline-powered chainsaw called the tree-felling machine. These were the first successful patents for hand-held mobile chainsaws designed for woodcutting. Andreas Stihl is most frequently credited as being the inventor of the mobile and motorized chainsaw. He invented what we today recognize as being the modern chainsaw.

Andreas Stihl bought the gas powered chainsaw from Albert Fezer and Gottlieb Stoll (Festo), he didn't design it himself.
