Title: Folding Buck Saws
Post by Kerry on Oct 9th, 2010 at 2:25am
I’ve run a QJ search on folding bucksaws and I’m surprised to find that nothings coming up so I’ll put this out here.
Since my earliest camping days I have carried a Sven saw.  After more than 40 years of use I finally changed the blade.  The replacement blade (which was advertised as the replacement blade for the Sven) was not the same as the original – it was thinner and had a different tooth configuration.  The upshot is that with the new blade my dependable Sven turned into a piece of crap and the aluminum frame ended up bent out of shape.  So ... I’m in the market for a new saw.  There are two that interest me and they look pretty much the same – The Northwest Woodsman Folding Bucksaw and the Fast Bucksaw.  I believe the Northwest is 24” while the Fast is 21” but other than that they look very similar and are priced pretty close.  Has anyone experience with one or both of these saws?  Would you recommend one over the other?  Are there other saws that you might recommend other than the Sawvivor saws (which I don’t like much) or the pruning style saws?
Thanks.
