I already have a good lightweight portable "take-down" saw for my backpack trekkings - so I'm good there.

I'm looking for a high quality buck saw for car camping when I cannot use my chain saw but want to cut and buck some logs for firewood or shelter construction. I've also had logs block my path of travel. (Yes, I have axes already).

There are tons on the market from the local hardware store for limbing trees to ones found on bushcraft e-stores.

I need some help reducing the choices down to a short list of saws you all know work and you have confidence in.

Any suggestions?
 
To tell you the truth I don't think there is anything special about Bow saw frames.
I have a regular hardware store Bow saw, and it works fine. The important bit is the saw blade and tooth pattern.

If you want a brand name I know Truper, Fiskars, and Bahco make one.
 
The bahco ones are solid, can't go wrong with em. Admittedly, the only reason I noticed the name brand is because I have the bahco folding saw though.
 
this is what I used when I was a backcountry ranger for the FS, I was clearing fallen trees that were over 2' through, the second handle was imperative to have (it also let you double buck when you had a partner- granted a double buck saw does a better job w/ two :))
