Saw recommendations

[CMF]

Do you pack the entire skull then after you have deboned?

remove hide, lower jaw, and eyes and ready for the boil when you get to camp...

I carry a replacement bucksaw blade only. I use it to construct meat poles if I have a multi day pack out. When I need it I make a bushcraft style bucksaw.

which model of silky is the lightest?

Just a WAG, but I'll say the 130 Pocketboy at 6 oz.

Bahco Laplander. Best folding saw I’ve ever used….

The fine tooth silky blade cuts through moose ribs with ease.

I find the Silky F180 is a fantastic saw that cuts extremely well and weighs 5.3 oz. The 7” blade is long enough to be useful on fairly large diameter trees. I always carry one on my snowmachine.

But, like what’s been mentioned, this large tooth blade is for wood, rather than skull capping. For that I use a Havalon replaceable blade saw for hunts where I anticipate capping an animal.
