Why it made the list
Half saw, half two-handed weapon. A 500 mm folding blade that goes through 10 to 12-inch logs faster than most people can run a chainsaw out of the case. Overkill for a weekend — perfect for a long winter camp.
Pros
- Cuts big-diameter wood shockingly fast
- Two-hand rubberized grip
- Still folds for transport
Cons
- Heavy and long even folded
- Expensive for a hand saw
Best uses
- Hot-tent and winter camps
- Cabin and property work
- Large-diameter deadfall
