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.

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.
