A saw chain made according to the present invention includes cutter teeth having a single slicer. Sequentially, the cutter tooth having a slicer on the left-hand side is followed by a raker tooth having an open face on the left-hand side. A cutter tooth having a single slicer on the right-hand side is followed by a raker tooth having an open face on the right-hand side. The wood is cut sequentially by the left-hand slicer, the raker tooth having an open face on the left-hand side, the right-hand slicer and the raker tooth having an open face on the right-hand side. The particular sequence of cutting provides a fast and smooth cut that avoids binding in the kerf. Alternatively, the cutter tooth having a single slicer on the left-hand side may sequentially follow a cutter tooth have a single slicer on the right-hand side. A raker tooth having a full-width raker may follow the sequential cutter teeth or two raker teeth having respective half-width rakers may follow.
