Beckerhead Portable Saw

[gytheran]

Which one of these saws do you guys prefer?

 

[Moosez45]

I voted for the Bahco, out of all the saws I've used, their proprietary blade design, cuts better than anything I've ever used.

Bahco is good for bushcrafty stuff but I want a bucksaw for the campfire. I like the Sven.

 

[Psyop]

I have the Corona its great. No experience with the others so they may be as good or better.

 

[Skystorm]

The Laplander rocks for hiking

Thanks haha

I have looked at one of those before, It will be interesting to see what is at the top come the end of the week. As of now I don't have any kind of camp saw.

I also have the corona and love it. Anyone used the Bahco AND the Corona and still prefer the Bahco?

I love my 10in corona, its great for the style of camping that I do. It also cuts dang well. I've not tried the others, but this one doesn't have me wanting something better and for the price its hard to argue against.

However, for a hiking saw I might want to go with the 7in version. I can't imagine what I would need a 10in blade for on a hiking saw.

I have the 10" corona and it's seen a lot of use and still cuts well -- even compared to a new silky...
I feel that it gives "Becker-grade" bang for the buck when compared to higher end tools.

The Bahco cuts like a demon!
The tip on mine bent the first time I used it.
It straightened out easily and I haven't had an issue since.

If it's small enough for a 8-10" folding saw I can take it down with my BK9 or other chopping utensil easy enough. The 24" buck saw from the hardware store works great for my uses though.

 

[Murphnuge]

Never used any of these, so I chose by name alone. My logic-

Trail Blazer=A crappy watered down SUV.
Corona=A crappy watered down "beer".
Sven=A Swedish fruitcake.
Big Boy=The wrong burgerjoint or the wrong cellmate, either way wrong choice.
Bahco =How I pronounce Backhoe, now that's a tool to have in the bush!

I have the Silky Bigboy, XL teeth and a curved blade. It's awesome, but quite large for the backpack. Plus, there is a open gap that exposes teeth, when folded. I did not get this for camping, well maybe car camping, but more for yard clean-up, trimming tree limbs, etc..
I'd suggest going smaller for "portable" saw choices. That's why I got a Gomboy 240 with LG teeth. It's still a pretty good size, and comes with a plastic case, and the straight blades means that the teeth are actually inside the handle when folded.
I'm sure some of the other saws are great, but I chose to get the Silky Saws, based on reviews.

What exactly are we using the saw for? I have three of the saws you've got in the poll and use them all for different stuff.

Yeah but if an evil witch cast a spell so you could only own ONE...

 

[Chris Pierce]

I don't see a chain saw on the poll...........

 

[DerekH]

The (now discontinued) Gerber Sportsman's saw was my pick, but it isn't on the list, so I will vote for the Bahco.

Grudgingly...

 

[Translash]

Bahco hands down!

 

[rkmoore]

I voted for Bahco but only cuz Moose & Murph did.

 

[H_Talon]
