A chainsaw cutting link comprising:

• a base portion provided with two rivets holes for pivotal interconnection with adjacent links, each rivet hole defines a respective pivot axis;
• and
• a cutting tooth extending away from the base portion, wherein the cutting tooth comprises a top plate and a side plate, the top plate and the side plate defining an angle to form an L-shaped cutting edge facing in a cutting direction in which the chainsaw cutting link is configured to move during cutting, wherein the L-shaped cutting edge comprises a top plate cutting edge arranged on the top plate and a side plate cutting edge arranged on the side plate, wherein the top plate cutting edge is sharper than at least a portion of the side plate cutting edge, wherein the at least a portion of the side plate cutting edge comprises a concave portion including a rearmost trailing portion of the side plate cutting edge relative to the cutting direction;
• wherein the side plate cutting edge further comprises a convex portion located between the top plate cutting edge and the concave portion of the side plate cutting edge;
• and wherein the rearmost trailing portion is located proximate to the base portion.
