Ice on logs dulls my chain. I have always been told  by my dad that it will dull chains. But found out for myself now that it is true.  Just resharpen and have at it.

I've been cutting some bigger ash logs lately for a friend. Sometime I get 4-5 cuts, sometimes it's dull in the first cut. It seems the ice holds the grit onto the log like grit on a lapping plate.

Pure clean ice like stated is nothing for the chain, dirty ice can dull chains.

I carve Ice all the time with  chainsaw. It will hold an edge all day long unless I hit my wood carving stand. But thats with a highly modded chain made to only cut carve ice
