Gold Strike Tungsten Carbide Chainsaw Chain for Husqvarna — 3/8" .058" (1.5mm)
A carbide tipped chainsaw chain purpose-built for Husqvarna chainsaws running 3/8" pitch and .058" (1.5mm) gauge. The Gold Strike delivers where standard Husqvarna chains fall short — through dense Australian hardwood, dirty timber, and the abrasive conditions that professionals and property owners deal with every day. Fewer stops. Less sharpening. More wood.
Why Carbide Over Standard Husqvarna Chain
Every cutter on the Gold Strike has a tungsten carbide tip brazed onto the cutting edge — one of the hardest materials used in cutting tools. The chain body is manufactured from 68CRNIM033 steel imported from Germany, built to handle high abrasive loads and extreme cutting conditions without stretching or fatiguing early.
The result is a chain that holds its edge 10x times longer than a standard Husqvarna chain. Where you'd normally stop to sharpen every few cuts through hardwood, a Gold Strike carbide chain keeps cutting — day after day. For anyone running a Husqvarna through serious timber, the time savings alone make it worth the step up.
Semi-Chisel Cutter Profile — Made for Australian Hardwood
The Gold Strike uses a semi-chisel tooth design with a rounded top-plate corner. Unlike full chisel chain — which dulls rapidly in dirty or abrasive conditions — semi-chisel holds its edge far longer through the hardwoods that make up most of the cutting work across rural Australia.
Built for timber like:
- Ironbark — one of the hardest and densest timbers in the country
- Stringybark — common across NSW and Victoria, tough and fibrous
- Red Gum — heavy, dense, and often embedded with dirt and grit
- Spotted Gum — hard and abrasive, common in coastal and rural areas
- Box — extremely dense, a standard chain killer
- Bluegum — widespread hardwood across southern Australia
The safety low-kickback design keeps the operator safer while delivering cleaner, more consistent cuts through dense native timber. If you're running a Husqvarna through Australian hardwood, fallen logs, or timber that's been sitting in the dirt — semi-chisel carbide is the right setup.

Why tungsten carbide?
Why tungsten carbide?
Tungsten carbide is one of the hardest cutting-tool materials going. We braze a tungsten carbide tip onto every cutter, so the edge holds up where a standard steel chain just rolls and dulls.
What that means on the saw: fewer stops, less sharpening, more wood through the bar per session. The chain body is German steel — high quality design for Australian hardwood.
10× longer edge life — what that actually means
10× longer edge life — what that actually means
A standard steel chain dulls after minimal work. A tungsten carbide chain stays sharp roughly 10× longer in the same conditions.
If you used to sharpen your chain after every fuel tank, now you can run a chain that lasts 10 times longer between sharpens.

Three specs to check:
Pitch — the spacing between drive links, stamped on your bar. 3/8" and .325" pitch are the most common for farm and forestry saws.
Gauge — the thickness of the drive link. Match your bar:
- .063" (1.6mm) — suits most Stihl 3/8" setups (and .404 forestry saws).
- .058" (1.5mm) — suits most Husqvarna 3/8" setups.
- .050" (1.3mm) — low-profile chain for smaller / mid-range saws.
- .043" (1.1mm) — low-profile chain for smaller saws.
Drive link count — total number of links. Depends on bar length.
Not sure? Use our Chain Finder — pick your saw model and it returns the exact pitch, gauge, and drive link count. Or send Aaron a photo of your bar stamping on 0431 183 421.
Sharpening — what you need to know
Sharpening — what you need to know
Tungsten carbide doesn't sharpen like standard steel chain. You'll sharpen these way less often, but when you do, use a diamond sharpening disc — a regular round file won't touch the carbide tip.
Signs it's time to sharpen: cuts are slowing down, you're applying more pressure than usual, or sawdust looks fine and powdery instead of chips.
For most users, expect 1–2 sharpenings a year of regular use, vs every few sessions for a standard chain.
Common questions
Common questions
How long does it last? Roughly 10× longer than standard steel chain in the same cutting conditions.
Can I sharpen it myself? Yes — but you need a diamond sharpening disc (not a regular round file).
Will it work on dirty timber? That's exactly what it's built for. Semi-chisel + carbide handles dirt, sand, and abrasive bark far better than full chisel chain.
Does it cut faster than standard chain? Standard chain is slightly faster on clean softwood. Carbide chain is faster on average in real cutting because it stays sharp — you spend the session cutting, not sharpening.
What kills it? Same things that kill any chain — dirt, rocks, fencing wire, nails in old logs, hitting steel. The chain is built for timber, not metal or stone.

Warranty & returns
Manufacturing defects: full replacement, just send a photo + order number. Reach out on 0431 183 421 or farmandacreco@gmail.com.
What's not covered: damage from hitting rocks, dirt, fencing wire, nails, or steel — that's wear-and-tear on any chain. Tungsten holds up better than standard, but it's not bulletproof against metal.
30-day returns on unused chains in original packaging.
