Sven saw

[billygoat78]

been using my Sven saw 15 years now and it's still going strong. I've tried about 15 other types, from bow saws to $60 pocket manual-labor chain saws and I keep going back to the Sven.

Perhaps their QC has dropped since I purchased mine? I really can't think of a single bad thing to say about the one I'm familiar with, and it outperforms anything I've tried (or at least performs equal to many saws twice the weight).

In my experience, for the price point, you can't go wrong with a Sven

Jeff,

Please, just trust me on this one... (you might find yourself thanking me afterwards).

Buy yourself a Wyoming Saw from the Wyoming Knife Corporation - http://www.wyomingknife.com/saws.htm


I've given this recommendation before and people just don't listen. Those people who listen get an outstanding and reliable USA made saw that's compact, solidly built, and a proven performer.

I'm not affiliated with these folks other than being a customer. The Wyoming Saw is one of the top outdoor products I've ever purchased (and I've probably spent near $10k over the past 5 years - no kidding).

Enjoy.

I will do just that. Haven't even looked at it and I'm headed iover to buy one now.

If the Sven isn't up to par, consider this:

The price point is high, but quality is also.

If the price is too high, consider this:

Mmm. Me likey.

Well, I just bought it through PayPal. I'm looking to do a saw article for SWAT Against All Odds so I'm looking to pick up a few different ones.

Depending on what you're looking for, please test out the Corona 10" folding Razorsaw or their 7" folding Quicksaw. Quicksaw seems to be a bit more bulletproof, but the Razorsaw ain't no slouch and it can be snagged on the cheap at any Lowe's. EVERYONE has done reviews on the Sawvivor, Sven, Silky, and Laplander. It'd be nice to see a few more affordable options that are readily available to those of us urbanites who only go outdoors on the weekends.

By the way, that Wyoming Saw looks spectacular!

I've been pretty happy with the Gerber Sportsmans Saw.

I've been pretty happy with the Gerber Sportsmans Saw.

Main issue I've seen with sliding type saws is that the screw gives out, rendering the saw pretty much useless. I've always liked the folding Gerber saws and recently bought 3 spares after 10 years or so with my first one. Quality has slipped on them a bit as well.

 

[THE BARON]

That's because that Wyoming Saw IS spectacular!

It's funny how ofter everyone jumps on the same old boat when it comes to products. I too once went down the folding saw road so I can't blame everyone for wanting a lightweight/compact saw. But if you want to CUT WOOD you'd best take a right and go down the Wyoming Saw road. It's a bit heavier but the 14" model (perfect) will kick the rest of these saws in their not-so-royal ass.

Jeff, I'll look forward to your article.

I just checked this thing out and it looks great! I wish I had known about this saw earlier, I would of picked one up in a second for my bug out bag. I ended up buying a Silky, which is great saw also. But if I end up getting another, I'm gonna keep this thing in mind. Thanks!

Hmmmm ... how about an ESEE hard use saw ?

Funny you should mention that, I just emailed Shon and Mike this link and said "you know..."

Along E&E lines, I'd like to see a slim folding saw that accepts reciprocating saw blades. I have a really beefy and sturdy one by Lenox (they call it their Tri-Fold saw) but think that one that was more like a large pocket knife would be even better. You can get tons of different 6" blades in any hardware store for a huge range of targets (wood to metal and ceramic and everything between) and the blades are thin and flat so it's easy to stash a few different blades in a pack or a pocket. I find uses for my bulky one all the time, and would use it even more if it were more knife-like. :thumbup:

Next time I go into a wilderness area where I can saw stuff, I'll take the wife's folding saw from her home.

42blades.... I cannot agree with you more.

If ESEE could/would make a solid "folding" saw that held replaceable reciprocating saw blades, that would be ideal.

There are some good folding saws out there already but a product like this just doesn't exist in the market. These blades are built like a tank and I imagine they'd work quite nicely in a compact folding type of setup.

Would a product like this replace my Wyoming saw? Hell no.

Could it displace the folding saw? It could if done right.


Anyway... just my worthless .02 cents on the concept.

Glad I'm not the only one who would like something like that. The way I see it you could end up using a tool like that in more urban environments, not just woodland ones. Think of the concept as a "pocket multi-saw."

 

[freedoom]

I got a fiskars folding saw at home depot. huge 13" blade and wooden handle, works pretty well.

 

[bladebuster]

Maybe I'm just too use to Rowen building things. This Sven saw just seems cheaply made, IMO.

I dont own a Sven, but Ive always heard good things about them.

I do love my Opinel folding saw. This is a great one. Love the way the blade locks open. Mines seen alot of MO hardwoods and is still goin strong.

Ive had my eye on one of these too...

I think a sven type folding saw by ESEE would be a great product.

I've got one of these on the way - http://www.eka-knivar.se/index.asp?lang=UK
