Check out my big 10 inch

[Bill Siegle]

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!

I figured you were an Old Aerosmith Fan or just felt like being a braggart today.

Woah! I have a smaller one and I think I need one of those now!

^^^ Slider envy!

That is pretty cool, I have the 6 incher and it sees a lot of use.

i just cant figure out how you can feild sharpen these things.....

 

[boing]

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?

You need a small diamond file/hone, good hand and eye, and some patience.

I could make a real mess of one in a hurry What comes to mind is that I would wear out before the saw got all that dull. If I were cutting that much wood, I would get a bigger bucksaw.

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.

 

[Bill Siegle]

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.

I have a full three inches, most cant handle it that wide...
