Why it made the list
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.
Pros
- Best cut speed per ounce in the class
- Folds small enough for a jacket pocket
- Replacement blades are cheap and everywhere
Cons
- Teeth cannot be resharpened at home
- Exposed blade demands respect when folding
Best uses
- Backpacking firewood
- Shelter poles and camp craft
- Trail clearing on day hikes
