What our reviewers liked and didn't
Super Accel 210
- Aggressive pull-cut teeth chew through seasoned logs with minimal effort
- Extremely compact folded footprint slides into pack side pockets
- Dual-angle locking mechanism enables flush ground cuts without scraping knuckles
- Ergonomic rubberized grip maintains positive traction when wet or icy
- Thin carbon steel blade will kink if jammed on an aggressive forward stroke
- Impulse-hardened teeth cannot be sharpened with standard hand files in the field
- Requires periodic oiling to prevent surface oxidation after wet trips
PocketBoy 130 Medium Teeth
- Remarkable cutting speed through hardwood and softwood up to three inches thick
- Impulse-hardened teeth hold a sharp edge far longer than stamped carbon blades
- Two-position locking spine enables clean flush cuts near ground level
- Compact folded footprint slips effortlessly into pants or hip-belt pockets
- Short five-inch blade limits efficient timber diameter to roughly wrist-size
- Thin high-carbon steel will bind and bend if forced on the push stroke
- Hardened teeth cannot be sharpened with field files and require blade replacement
