SOG Knives Folding Saw

Cuts good. This is a nice sized saw that folds into a small enough item to put in my emergency backpack. The nylon case seems adequate and has a secondary pocket for extra blades. The only thing I noticed is that I have a tendency to hold the saw up high on the handle and a few times I accidentally pressed the orange button that locks and unlocks it. This caused the blade to go backwards until I locked it in place. I was disappointed that it didn't have a black safety lock as pictured and came with a bright orange one. Someone wanting to stay hidden might not like that. The orange is very visible.

Let’s face it, it’s a hand saw for like backpacking and camping. It does its job and closes just nice. Easy to carry and easy to use. As for its cutting speed, it’s a hand saw so don’t compare it to like a chainsaw. Feels great in the hand.

Four stars for now. It's lighter than my old saw, but doesn't seem as sturdy. We'll see if it will actually hold up to heavy usage. Old saw grew legs at camp last fall.

Very portable. I attach the sheath to my belt and take it with me in the garden and the trail. The saw blade is very sharp and cuts right through branches. I was concerned when I read a review that the blade was too thin. No problem; it works beautifully.

Works as advertised. Solid construction, blade is sharp, you can use around the yard or camping and it will do its job.

Cuts stuff….

This thing cuts great. I bought it for cutting roots while metal detecting and bottle digging. I’ve used it to saw through a 4 inch tree laying in my path with minimum effort. It is a great buy and well worth the money. Only downfall is the blade is thin and is prone to bending and possibly snapping. Just be careful with it and you should be fine. It is very lightweight, and handy.

Bought this for camping but its first workout was a few hours of surgically extracting a hedge of buckthorn from some old lilacs. Super sharp. Nice mechanism locks the blade when it is stowed and when extended. Sawed through 1" limbs in just a few strokes. I learned to be slow and deliberate with it. The blade does the work and I really did not want to hurt myself either! Blade is easily changed though I expect this to stay sharp a long time.
