Hi Celery,
That Fiskars looks pretty handy with its 6" blade lenght & a pocket/belt clip. Probably real lightweight too.
The concern I'd have on the saw is that 6" is a pretty short blade. The max size tree you'd be looking at is about 3-4", figured on max tree size being 1/2 the blade length so you'd clear sawdust at each end of the stroke. A 3" green tree is small enough that a 7-9" belt knife would make pretty short work of it. Now a 3" hard weathered oak branch, that would be a different story.
Thx for the link,
Greg
