With all the love Spyderco gets, and all the love folding saws get, i'm curious why the spydersaw is virtually unknown around here. Has anybody used one? I know it has an AUS6 blade, which suprises me, but then again maybe its good for a saw?
 
it may be, but when Fiskars is floating around $20, and probably cuts better, the spydie hasent gotten far.

Price doesn't seem to slow some people down much when it comes to knives! If people will drop $300 and change on a pocket knife, why should a $50 folding saw slow them down? :rolleyes:

Seriously, it would be nice to see some good reviews on folding saws. I have a Gerber Sport Saw-- the sliding style with heavy Fiskar's details to it. It's light and sharp and I have it for survival backup, not everyday use. I lean more to my SAK Trekker and the little saw it has for hikes. It's just so easy to drop it in my pocket and go.

IMHO, all these saws are throw-aways when dull and that may influence what people are willing to pay too.

It looks like a good tool, and going on Spryderco's reputation, I would expect it to work well. Your question makes sense.
 
For what it's worth, I own (an even occasionally use...) a half dozen folding saws, from Fiskars to Pocket Chain to Sawvivor and folding buck saw.

The Spyderco remains my first choice for "on my back" carry when my SAK or Leatherman may have an opportunity to overload.

You're right, though, Buck286... I have seen very little discussion of this tool (good OR bad) on most Knife/Bushcraft forums.

They're a Spyderco... 'nuf sed!

True enough. I did a review on a fiskars and gerber saw :D

The thing I like most about the gerber and fiskars is that the blade is replaceable, But im not sure about the Spydie. In the end, if you like it and the price, go for it, it will work great for sure.
 
Spydie saw blade is not replaceable. If my Gerber saw gets dull I replace the blade or even the whole saw for $20. If Spydie saw gets dull then what? I can sharpen the most expensive knife or hatchet but am lost when it comes to saws. FYI, I got a Spydie saw but eventually sold it because of reasons above. It did seem well made but I did not use it much. I always wished it had a metal clip and not the integral FRN clip.
 
I just find the blade kinda small for my likeing. Make it a 7-8" interchangeable blade, than you have a winner.
 
Bacho Laplander is The Folding Saw. Good sandvik steel, safe & comfortable handle, about $30.
