Just got this big boy in from Ace Hardware online. A Fiskars sliding saw with a 10inch blade!!!! I know how great my 6incher has worked over the last couple years so when I saw this I just had to have one :) The grip is large enough for two hands but the saw is still very lightweight and definitely packable. Can't wait for my next camping trip!

Woah! I have a smaller one and I think I need one of those now!
 
How does the blade secure in the extended position? Just friction from tightening the knob? Or is there a recess in the tang that the knob screws into?
 
FYI...I picked up a replacement blade for the 6" for about $5 at Cabela's. I would think there is a replacement for the big boy too.
 
Hmm....I might have to get one of those. I already have a Gerber folding saw and I love it.
 
I have been using my 6incher for a couple years and it still cuts like new so no worries about sharpening to me. One could get it done by removing some material from the sides of the blade. You'd want to lay the blade on something flat and solid though as the blades are thin and flexible.
 
Dont mean to hijack your thread, but what do you think of those $10 7" folding saws?

How do you like the locking mechanism for your new tool? Looks similar to olfa utility knives
 
Those Cogland's work alright although they feel a bit flimsy when using them. Throw em out when they start to dull and buy a new one. They are cheap enough to be semi-disposable.

The one good thing about them is you can find them everywhere especially the mom & pop general stores in out of the way places. Of course in Wawa they will cost you about twice as much as more populace areas.
