Prouboy pointed me in the direction of the silky saws. A tough call as I liked my lightweight aluminum saw but, hey, it looked like a winner.....AND IT IS!!

The folding "Big Boy" silky saw is awesome. Handy and looks to be indestructible it's scary sharp. A few strokes and I'm through some mid sized branches and sensed that if you weren't careful a fellow could end up wearing the thing (and that would be bad....very bad) Time will tell how long it stays this sharp. I also like the width of the blade compared to my other saw....It is quite a bit wider and binds up much less.

Yea I know it's some dough. But man is it sweet. When I'm out there I like things to go smoothly.......saws that start binding up halfway through a cut are frustrating.

They also have one with extra large teeth. Not sure which one I have, it has a yellow handle, packs well BTW. Keep your fingers out of the way when you fold it up, (seriously)....not sure I would let kids or teens use it.  

If you are looking for a little bit better price than Amazon, I bought mine (360, large teeth, orange handle) at   (You need to Login or Register.

And yes!  They are sharp.  I happened to bounce the blade across one of my knuckles during my last trip.  It produced an uncomfortable gash.
