Wicked tough handsaw ?

Yeah I plan on upgrading to a Silky at some point but I use a saw so rarely that it's not very high on my list. :p

That's cool. I only upgraded because sometimes it's my main cutter and I wanted something a little more sturdy. If you have a chopper then the saw becomes more of a convenience than a necessity. Times like that the lighter one is probably the better choice.
 
Ah, but the higher performance is still worth the extra weight to me! Never was an ounce counter. If it comes in handy when I'm out and about it's worth hauling out there with me. :D :D :D
 
Here's a link:

http://fourdog.com/bobs-quick-buck-saw-21/. I have a Sven saw and it is very good packs down well but the quick saw (sorry I thought it was called a buck saw) looks to be better for it doesn't have the triangle shape that might hit the log. The quick saw is bigger but once agin seen tests and it looks like no other. Just remember it is bigger then any folding saw but its capability will surpass them significantly!

Man where did you find a bahco for 12 bucks? So far I've been happy with my Silky Gomboy and always wanted to try something else to compare with.

I have the bob's quick saw and I do not recommend it, as the construction is too delicate for any hard use. The structural integrity is dependent on very precise alignment of narrow, unreinforced aluminum channeling held together by what appears to be copper pins. It's a cleaver design, but more gimmick than tool, in my opinion.

There are much better saws out there if you don't need the gee-whiz factor.

Hi sutured - which saw would you recommend over the Quick-Buck-Saw?

I have one as well (used it today in fact), but haven't yet come to the same opinion you have.

Sorry for the hi-jack..... may it be ever-so-brief...
 
That video was impressive...I need to buy a compact takedown saw this spring for kayak camping..I have a front hatch that's quite spacious...The saw will never be used for hunting applications so I might get a larger model..Primary use will be fire wood processing..I'll have to do some research when the time comes..CD
 
The Wicked Tough is a tank and cuts much faster than a Bacho. Better still is the Silky Gomboy or Pocketboy. I have used all of them and I rate the Silky Gomboy top. Sawing a log with the Gomboy isn't even like work.
 
Looks like he's trying to reinvent the wheel for his own marketing purposes. No one with an once of grey matter would flex these saws like that. And most of these hand saws lock also, even if they didn't, simply bearing down on the material pushes the blade back to the frame.
 
Skip the hand saws and invest in a good chainsaw. You can split wood pretty quickly manually but for cutting it powered is the way to go. For more than a cut or two you'll be glad you packed the extra weight. Stihl and husqvarna are both tried and tested brands. Get sharpening supplies and spare chains.

If for portabilities sake you decide against a powered saw, then get the longest saw you can comfortably carry. Something like this with spare blades would do the trick but honestly I'd still prefer a chainsaw.

Little folding saws have their place for light tasks, but for lightweight portability and ability to easily process a lot more wood than a folding saw with a 8-9" blade, I'll take a breakdown bucksaw, like the Trailblazer.

I'm multi-quoting to provide background, but i agree wholeheartedly on the packable bucksaw. I have a folding saw in my EDC, but if i'm going on a *planned* hike, i always grab my Dustrude Quick Bucksaw...

Sorry for the hi-jack...
 
Another vote here for the Dustrude Buck Saw. I've used mine quite a bit, and find it anything but "too delicate for hard use."
 
Nice marketing but maybe not so necessary. I know that this isn't a perfect limbing saw but I still always carry this Milwaukee quik lok sawzall handle and a variety of blades. i like having wood and metal cutting ability. And I can screw a pole into the handle for more reach. Milwaukee makes some aggressive wood blades and I don't worry about them breaking, which I've never done. For a dedicated tree limb saw the Silky is hands down sharper but for versatility i like this one.
