Hi all,
I recently read this thread on folding saws, and it's helped me narrow it down some, but it's also just made me more confused also...

It lead me to the brand Silky, which has a good reputation and appears to make quality products, but then I found folding saws of all different sizes, grains of teeth, straight and curved blades, etc. Phew! My head is spinning to say the least. Here is what I'm looking at at the straight bladed saws.

And then I saw this bad boy too, but it's most likely more than I would need for my uses...
My intended uses are backpacking, fire building in remote locations during cold weather for 1 or 2 people, and that's what I normally do. What I'd like to try my hand at is simple shelter and trap building... More bushcraft stuff basically. Which saw would work best to fill these roles?
Thanks much,
JGON
