#1 on this list
Gomboy 240 (Medium Teeth)
Silky
The camp saw to buy if you buy one. A 240 mm impulse-hardened pull-stroke blade cuts green and seasoned wood absurdly fast for its size, folds to pocket length, and locks solidly open. Medium teeth are the right compromise between speed and control.

#2 on this list
Boreal21 Folding Bucksaw
Agawa Canyon
A real 21-inch bucksaw that folds flat to the size of a paperback. The frame tensions in one motion, holds it under hard cutting, and the geometry gives you a full-length stroke no folding saw can match. The canoe-tripper's default.
