Pack saw?

[CaliWoodsman]

I’ve bought several of the UL Silky handles from Jan via email, no issues at all.

I'm gonna add the Bahco Laplander. It has outperformed 2 of my old Silky saws. It cuts in both directions and weighs nothing.

i like my silky outback

Another vote for any saw the Silky makes. They are definitely one of the best out there.

The Wyoming saw 2 is the best in my opinion, breaks down to 4 small pieces, but still has a full 18” bone saw blade.

I love the mini-Dandy saw. It works on wood and on critters. It's tough and durable and sharp as all get out. Well worth the expense.

I love my Wyoming saw, but I thought at one point I read they stopped making them?

If it's for the grandson then money is not a concern, take a look at the Agawa Boreal, they come in 15", 21", and 24" sizes. I think the 15" is 15oz without the carry case. The attachment tension system seems to be a bit safer than the average folding saw especially with bloody or wet hands.

First I've seen of that saw. Looks like a winner aside from the blade change options. For wood it looks like it beats most everything.

This is my go to. Silky Gomboy saw blade in an ultralight frame

 

[Hatchet]

Silky Zubat 330 with a paracord handle and custom sheath. Superlight and low profile and cuts like a chainsaw. Just buy a replacement blade instead of the whole thing because you’ll throw away the factory handle anyway if you go with this custom set up.

Been carrying the Corona saw for a while. 10 inch blade and 10 Oz. I think i paid $25 on Amazon. It cuts great with minimal effort due to the design. Can't speak to how you would work on a skull , but wood is great

I carried this Fiskar saw for years, Bought two, one in the truck and one in my pack. Since then I have bought two Silky's, I still have these as back up and to loan out. Picked mine up at Home Depot. Work fine and they do not break the bank. Great for a quick shelter or to make a quick ground blind.

I've got one of those and like it alot, but I won't pack it on a backpack hunt.

For that I made a cheapo diy saw.

3/4" poplar dowel I had laying around. Notched to accept a sawzall blade. I think I used one of those Diablo pruning blades, 6-8", because I had an old one in hand. Drill through the dowel and blade in two spots and then anchor with a screw or bolt/nut. Made a PVC blade sheath for it.

It's about 2oz if I remember correctly. cuts well but maybe is too aggressive.
