OT: Folding Buck Saws??

The Trailblazer take-down bucksaw is great...

But this Bob Dustrude Quick Bucksaw is even better.

I really like the looks of that Bob Dustrude. Might have to check that out. A peg tooth blade would make it more efficient for dry wood.

I've settled on these and been using them for a while now.

The Sven goes on pack trips. Not the best, but pretty light and gets the job done.

But if it's paddle camping and I want to be assured of a good campfire, It's this combo.

A "Fast Bucksaw" (made in Minnesota) and a Wetterlings. Makes getting a good fire going a pleasure.
 
For me I like to use the Sawvivor folding saw shown here in the top.



Or if I am lucky I get to use Amanda's that her Grandfather made for her. I hope to have at least one of these for myself someday.

Nice photos,

Great tools,

Awesome Stump!


Plus one on the boat saw, mine goes in the basket too,

 
In all seriousness though, the sinew only goes down about a half inch further. I taped the handle because I choke up on it a lot for fine work.

:D
 
Well, last week, this thread was enough inspiration for me to get off my rump and do a project i have been planning and thinking about for longer than i care to admit. I made it from left over oak hardwood flooring. The screws and wing nuts are stainless and were also leftovers. I had to buy a blade. I chose the 21" over a 24 so it will fit in a pack a little easier. I picked up the blade at a local true value hardware for $4.99. Thats it, i got a whole 5 bucks into this thing. Here is the out come!

Bundled together, i think i may have to make a canvas bag similar to Tradewaters in post #9. All together like this it weighs in at 12.4 Ounces.

Ready to cut (it has about a 6" throat):

I only had time to cut one branch with it (about 4" diameter), and it worked great. However, i think it would be a little more comfortable if i rounded out the handle areas a little more. So far all i did was knock the corners off.

That's really great, Lethal.
I think I'm going to find a DIY tutorial and make one of those a project this winter.
