Boreal15 Folding Bucksaw
Agawa Canyon
The Boreal21's little brother. Same one-motion folding frame in a 15-inch package that disappears into a daypack, and honest enough to buck small firewood all weekend.

BigBoy 2000 (360 mm)
Silky
The bridge between pocket saw and bucksaw. A 360 mm folding blade with a two-hand handle that gives real leverage without carrying a frame. Runs down 8-inch deadfall without complaint.
