Folding pocket knife with just a locking blade and a saw?

When I'm in the bush, the three tools I use and need the most often are my folding blade, the saw on my Leatherman multi-tool, and my ferro-rod. An ideal wood's pocket knife for me would be a lightweight folder that had just those three items:
- a blade that locks
- a folding saw blade
- a ferro-rod.

I doubt very much such an item exists, but does anyone know of any commercially available folders that have just a locking blade and a locking saw blade? My Leatherman has both, but it's heavy, bulky, and uncomfortable to work, whittle, or carve with. I also have a SAK, but it too contains more tools than I want and the blade and saw don't lock.

Anyone know of any such folder?

Thanks,

Not that I'm aware of...

The Victorinox Lumberjack has only three tools; two of them being the ones you want but it doesn't lock. The Wenger Ranger 78 is a pretty minimalist tool that has a locking blade but a non locking saw.
 
Buck Alpha Crosslock.

Never owned one, but I've considered it for exactly the same reason: knife and saw are the two tools I use most in the bush.
 
Check out the Buck Alpha Crosslock. It has one hand opening and locking knife blade and saw. I had one when they first came out and had some issues with the liner lock, they probably fixed it.
 
Thank you evanPGH, welsh, and Franciscomv. Would any of you know if that knife is still in production? I just looked on the Buck site and it doesn't appear there when I do a search through their catalog, though they apparently still sell the sheath designed for it.

Hmm, seems there are more to choose from out there than I'd thought there might be.
My thanks to all of you for helping a newb out. :)

Gratefully,

There's also the Puma Warden, I think it's called. A buddy has one, seems ok, though I've never used one. I think just saw locks, if I remember correctly.
 
You might like the Schrade Buzzsaw Trapper model.
I believe the blade locks, but not the saw.
For $25 it is a decent pocket knife.

Now I might have to have a Buck Alpha Crosslock too. :D
