For a beefier pocket saw, check out the Stanley 15-333 construction saw for about $10 USD. It uses either reciprocating (recip) saw blades or standard (non-"Bosch t-shank") jigsaw blades.
It is small enough to easily fit in a BDU cargo or pack side pocket. It is sort of boxy & square, but the corners are pretty well rounded. It has a storage compartment in the handle for a few extra blades (jigsaw size, not full-size recip blades) of varying TPI maybe.
There are pics of it, plus performance review, at:

The warning on the Coughlin's saw re: not bearing down on the blade during the return stroke is standard procedure with thin-stock pull-stroke sawblades like Felco, Fiskars, Corona, Silky, Tashiro (Hishi-Z), Nakaya, etc.

i picked up the saw today while i was out and i must say that i have fallen in love with it. it went straight into my right pocket with my two layer SAK. it is lighter and just barely bigger. i used it today to cut notches for a trap, cut some small kindling with smooth edges, cut a bunch of stuff. i was able to comfortable cut green wood up to about an inch and a half in diameter. any more and i think i would start to get nervous.
i like to use a very light touch to prevent the possibility of binding on the push and bending the blade. as an experiment, i even took the blade out of the handle, to simulate a handle failure, and found that i could use it fairly well. overall i am quite pleased with this handy inexpenive little saw.
the things i can see it being very useful for are things like cutting small poles for shelter, for cooking tripods, and other things like that. i also see it coming in handy around the yard cleaning up and trimming branches on bushes and pruning branches that hang in front of pathways and around the edges of the driveway. with half inch and smaller branches i can cut them smoothly wiht a single pull.
this saw will become a part of my EDC gear, simply because of its usefulness.

Buy a "My First Victorinox Plus" and grind off the peanut butter blade or call it a signal mirror. Small, light, cheap and cuts like crazy.
