Type of review

Very surprised at the quality of this Saw. I got this for my wife because she is constantly out side in the yard doing something with the landscape. We were talking to a neighbor who is a farmer and sells fire wood on the side and we were discussing our pear trees and he was giving us tips on pruning, then he took out a little fold up pruning saw from his pocket to show us what to prune and my wife used it and loved how fast and easy it was to cut.so I knew she would want one. I came here to…

Pros
  • Very good quality
Cons
  • The blade may become dull quickly

Updated rating for customer service

I expected the saw to bend, no biggie, just straighten it out and keep going. The problem was the bend right at the joint, I kept using it the whole trip, but had to snap at the bend to close it for the trip out. Effective teeth for cutting.I wasn’t going to return it, I was trying to saw a log too big for the blade when it bent at the neck. They sent a complimentary replacement anyway.

Pros
  • Compact. Well made. Reasonable price. Would recommend it........
Cons
  • The TPR handle may not be comfortable for extended use

Weak hinge point - my new review

I purchased this saw for an annual hunting trip I make each fall. It worked well for the first several seasons for small kindling type wood cutting. However this season I used it for a larger 2 inch green branch that needed to be cut. The saw buckled at the hinge point and the blade was subsequently severely bent. I was unable to straighten it back to its original shape. It’s too bad because I really liked using it up to this point.

Pros
  • Great saw. Ergonomic, looks good, and does it’s job!
Cons
  • The saw may not be durable enough for frequent use

Extremely satisfied with the quality of the folding saw

Extremely satisfied with the quality of the folding saw; a solid and well constructed product with a great ergonomic handle; the blade teeth are sharp and allowed me to cut through a solid piece of lumber effortlessly. The Swedes are known for producing quality knife and saw blades. I have another Swedish saw purchased decades ago and used often over the years (from a different company) and it functions as it did the day I bought it. This is a great buy for anyone interested in a folder, and I…

Pros
  • Cuts through small branches and brush with ease.
Cons
  • The blade may not be replaceable

I was very suprised!

The first cut I made was a 3 inch piece of fat wood stump I dug up out of the ground. Thats stuff is really good for fires and its thick with resin, so to be able to saw through that and create Myan dust easily! Im sold. Only regrets is I should of bought extra blades. For down the road in this maze ahead of us. Take care ppl!

Pros
  • Pruning Saws
Cons
  • The saw may not be suitable for use on younger trees

good blade, compact, light

Was surprised how well it worked. cuts limbs easily, easy to clean, blade is flexible. only down side is the long paracord that it came with. they are pointless in my opinion.

Pros
  • Good product for the money.
Cons
  • The saw may be too heavy for some users to handle comfortably

Revainrating 4 out of 5

So far so good :) good for me

First thing I noticed was how incredibly light this is! I took it out and it performed great. The only issue I had was I applied too much pressure when sawing and the safety latch hopped up to the second groove. I put this down to my lack of practice/skill though and the once it locked forward it held the blade fast. It's a bit flexible (like most saws of this size) so my advice is use minimal pressure and be careful of bending the blade. It's perfect for hiking/tramping as it's VERY…

Pros
  • The saw's versatility makes it a must-have tool for anyone who spends time in the great outdoors
Cons
  • The saw may not be suitable for use in wet weather conditions

Great little saw best in my review

I really like this saw. Works perfect for what I need, and it's light weight. Only 2 things I feel could be better are the blade could be a bit stiffer but still works well, and I wish the blade would lock closed. Personal preference on both of those but still really like this saw.

Pros
  • Good quality, the wrist strap makes it comfortable and easy to use
Cons
  • The saw may not be suitable for use in colder temperatures

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent saw, and value.

I really like the comfortable rubber grip handle, great for snowmobiling with bulky, wet gloves. Blade folds into the handle nice and no sharp teeth are exposed to snag on anything, don't want those sharp teeth slicing up something you don't intend to. Lanyard is nice so you don't lose it while cutting wood in the deep snow out snowmobiling.

Pros
  • Great little saw. Cuts great. Highly recommend.
Cons
  • The blade may be prone to bending

Flimsy handle good for me

While cutting a small tree the saw got caught and the handle bent. Seems to have a very flimsy handle.Saw blade is good.Would not recommend for anything other then very small branches.

Pros
  • ✅ 8 INCH BLADE: The foldable saw has a total length of 17 inches while the blade is 8 inches. When folded it is 9 inches. The blade is made of 65Mn Steel (equiv. to 1065 Carbon Steel) and has 7 teeth per inch (TPI). There is always a hedge to trim or a fence to fix & in these situations it’s good to have a sturdy saw close by.
Cons
  • The blade may be prone to rusting or tarnishing

Flimsy. it bent the first time I used it out on the trail.

I suppose it's ok around the garden, but, not for hiking, camping, survival use. Not to be relied upon. I'v spent much time outdoors and I was hoping this was something to keep in my pack for clearing trails, firewood, etc, but, no such luck.

Pros
  • My husband loves it ! Thanks again!
Cons
  • The TPR handle may become slippery in wet conditions

Efficient saw to have during camping

Update: the customer service contacted me regarding the issue and the send me another one for free. The saw is really good but as I said, it broke after few use and it could be due the size of the wood that I'm cutting with. Otherwise, I was really happy with it and I didn't imagine that it would be this efficient to have during camping trips.

Pros
  • This saw will cut through some of the hardest wood with ease.
Cons
  • The saw may not be suitable for left-handed users

Great merchandise in my review

I have ordered and quickly received items more than once from this company. Their prices are very reasonable, and the items as advertised. This saw is portable, sharp, and well-balanced.

Pros
  • Who do you trust for woodcutting tools? People who deal with the woods daily. EXCELLENT product!
Cons
  • The folding mechanism may become difficult to close

Cons
  • The saw may not be suitable for use on hardwoods with knots

Compact and cuts well

I used it while camping and was able to saw a 3" pine log which wasn't yet dry very easily. It's compact and cuts well That's my review!

Pros
  • The sharp 8" blade cuts through wood quickly and efficiently, making pruning trees and cutting firewood a breeze
Cons
  • The saw may not be able to handle larger jobs quickly

Cons

Perfect camp saw good for me

This is a great camp saw, was able to cut through plenty of fire wood without fear it was going to fall apart. The construction is very solid (no plastic) and a solid rubber handle that allows for great grip. Highly recommended

Pros
  • Outstanding product, fast shipping top quality. Already putting it to good use!
Cons
  • The saw may not be suitable for use on smaller branches

Great for both camping and light yard work

I took this saw up to the BWCA, and was very pleased with its strength, durability, and effectiveness while camping. The saw is lightweight, compact, and I have been using it in my yard for light tree trimming too.

Pros
  • Great little saw , easy to use effectively. Extremely sharp.
Cons
  • The saw may be difficult to sharpen

Surprisingly Good! on my review.

Took this little saw out for a couple days camping and used this to process some dead branches for firewood. About wore me out.but only because it cut so well that I couldn't stop. I saw a lot of folding saws for a lot more money, but saw a few great reviews for this one on YouTube and figured why spend a lot for something else that does just as well.*Edit* After two years it's still going strong. I bought a Silky Gomboy, and maybe just trying to baby it I've continued using this and it's still

Pros
  • Awesome product.
Cons
  • The saw may not be able to handle larger logs or branches

Pros
  • For the price, you cant argue the quality.
Cons
  • The TPR handle may not be resistant to UV damage
