Swedish Military saw

[John A. Larsen]

Just got my "The Sportsman Guide" Military surplus catalog and they have a new, Swedish Military Double Handed saw, $49.99 (plus S&H). The saw has a 31 inch cutting edge, with 19 teeth per foot, handles at booth ends, 44 inches total length , 3 lbs, brand new. Catalog Number is: H3H-233343, www.sportsmansguide.com. I have no clue how good the saw is, but it seems most of the Swedish made military gear is of high quality. John

A similar type saw is used in the video posted here on AxeConnected on the subject of Subsistence Firewood (starting about one minute into the video) :

His saw looks longer, but then he shortens it and reinstalls the handle upside down for easier one-man use. He comments that the teeth are large so he only presses down lightly as he saws.

It's a very nice price. Worth a shot.
