Product Information

Brian Smith, our primary tester on this project, is a professional internationally certified IFMGA/UIAGM mountain guide. Moreover, one cardinal and closely related feature to the frame’s build is how it is designed to fold. Additionally, the razor teeth are three-sided for increased efficiency and impulse-hardened for exceptional durability and strength. Everybody yearns for the unbeatable euphoric thrill that camping kindles but it is not merely a sightseeing occasion.

There are three blade lengths that these saws come in, such as 21, 24, and 30-inch blades according to the specific size of the saw that you purchase.If you are mostly cutting dry seasoned wood, you should use a peg tooth saw blade that has more uniform teeth similar to a carpenters saw. To help you find the best folding saw for your performance needs and budget, we subjected each product to assembly and disassembly analysis, multiple log cuttings, and timed cuttings.

For the most part, the answer to that will be no due to the size, tho there are a few folding bow saws on the market that will fit into a pack with no problem. Having a saw, that does not particularly require big burly arms to work with, is a good choice for your bushcraft kit. In our pick of the bow saws, we have mentioned clearly the kind of tensioning mechanism each saw employs. The 7-inch Corona blade is designed to cut limbs 3 inches in diameter, but we tested it on a 4-1/2-inch diameter log, and it still outshined all the other folding saws with a blistering time of 24 seconds. During testing, we noticed the trapezium-shaped frame geometry is superior to a triangular frame geometry because it increases your range of motion while sawing.Besides, if the additional hardware in a saw-like pivot point, adjusting clips, and other ones are made of steel, they make the frame sturdier than plastic or polymer. The back bar and blade unfold and insert into the handle but need to be simultaneously lined up correctly, a task that would be much easier to accomplish with the help of a third hand. For purposes of camping or bushcraft trips, tight grip portable bushcraft folding saws meet the criteria. The risk of losing the loose part however remains, and hence the latest saws are made to have automatic tensioning systems.

Then you must narrow down your choice, here are the few factors that you should bear in mind before making your purchase. Its thick 2mm steel blade that is nearly 20 inches long is very reliable and you will have a hard time snapping it even if you tried. This in-depth review of the very best picks will surely bail you out of the choice dilemma of the bow saws might have put you in.On the other hand, the peg and raker tooth variants are suitable for cutting dry wood and greenwood, respectively. Its rugged cast aluminum handle is wrapped in a rubber grip with indentations for fingers, making it ergonomic and high friction. We all know that winter camping can be a fun and rewarding experience, but it’s essential to stay warm when the temperatures plummet, so how do you stay warm when winter camping? This blade also has a safety tension lever, which lets you adjust cutting power according to need and reduce strain on your hands.
