Great, Big, Saw
By ChurchSkiz
It's not a clever name, this saw really is a bigboy. I took it out last weekend and was anxious to see it in action after all the feedback I've seen. Note that my point of use was/is backpacking and not as a real arborist. I'm giving this a review from that perspective.When the saw first arrived I was indeed taken aback by the size. 14 inches doesn't seem that long, until you are holding it in your hand. It really seemed too big for a backpacking type use. I'm not an expert arborist but I'm thinking the smaller saw might have been a better fit.Initial impressions are that the lock is tight, but there is a lot of play when the saw is not locked. When the saw is folded, there is nothing keeping it down, and even when folded, there are gaps between the handle and the blade. I kept mine in a long sock so that it would both stay folded, and that small material in my pack wouldn't get caught on the teeth and get shredded. I think it should have come with a sheath because of this.As far as actual use is concerned, the saw performed like magic. I cut an approximately 5" log in about 30 seconds with relatively no effort. I could have produced enough wood for a fire in no time. I tried to cut an 8" log or so and got about 1/3 of the way in about a minute (I stopped because my arm was tired from sawing and splitting). As a comparison I also brought one of those cheap $10 sierra saws from REI. It took about twice the time on the 5" log, I didn't even attempt the bigger log because of the blade size.On a standing tree, the size advantage really came into play. I was able to saw large limbs without the need to stand on anything or saw the tree down first. It was actually easier sawing from this position and I'm guessing that's what this saw was made for.Knowing what I know now, I would probably have gotten one of the smaller models, maybe the Super Accel. The saw is packable for a multi-day trip, but a little over the top. Unless you are making huge fires, you won't need to saw more than a 4-5" log and the extra few seconds of sawing I don't think justifies having this monster in your pack.To summarize:Pros:Saws greatMakes cutting up high a breezeCons:Really bigNo Sheath + no folding lock & gaps between blade and handle when folded = shredded equipment

best saws
By JA Larson
silkysawsdotcom sells scabbards for many of the folding saws.Couldn't find on Amazon, but other Amazon storefronts may carry.Since saws are difficult to sharpen, glad they sell replacement blades. Also lets you swap blades based on what you'e cutting.

Cuts very well, seems durably made. Eliminate the need for a chainsaw to cut many smaller diameter limbs or logs.
