Folding saws- Educate me!

[ASharpCanadian]

These things seem handy as hell, and Ill prolly be picking one up eventually. Ive heard the silky saws are great but I know almost nothing
about folding/wilderness saws. Sawvivor looks good as well but I need something light thatll cut things pretty much, and cut em well. I also wonder if there
are any weaknesses to the folding type saw vs the ones that come with a handle and sheath? folders of any sort are more likely to mechanically fail IMO so what do yall think for a winter survival/backpack situation?

That said, a Corona folding saw is part of my necessary gear. Cheap, but effective, reliable and practical.

I have a couple of folding Fiskars saws around. They are just fine at cutting stuff and only cost around $10 or so. Not marketed as "survival" or camping saws, but they work.

Although I am an axe/hatchet guy myself, couple pounds of weight don't bother me.
