This saw is even lighter than I expected, and cuts through wood (at least all the wood I’ve tried so far) like a dream. As long as you have the chain at an angle where it will stay alligned, you can butcher a tree with significantly less effort than with a traditional or folding saw, IMHO. Certainly there are limitations to this saw, such as the requirement to use both hands, but for under 5 ounces this is a downright legendary addition to your pack.

They stole my design! No but seriously I made a saw like this from a chainsaw blade that was the wrong size for my husky. It took a lot of effort to use but it worked great once I got it tuned for slow rpms. This looks like it will work great. Amazingly useful for our doors people

This type of human-powered chainsaw is really awesome and useful. I grew up in the middle of a PNW rainforest and have cut many logs with many types of saws as part of my regular life, and also camping. Just wanted to chime in a dissenting opinion to all the folding-saw fans in this thread.
This saw is ideal for camping, specifically breaking down a large, downed branch---the type you might burn in half a few times (if you didn't have a saw) and consume entirely in one night, not much more than 6" in diameter. These branches are the bread and butter of PNW campfires. The proper form is to put your foot on the branch and cut towards yourself. You can cut through 6" in 30 seconds or so. Doing this I find it's easier and quicker to process a branch than using a folding saw, which requires you bend over and find a sawhorse-like setup to get the right rhythm going. Like any saw or axe it's a lot easier to cut when you have a good form/rhythm and really put some force into it.

I've never in my life seen one of these work better than a knife nor make it through 2 branches without breaking.

Maugust09That's kinda the point of the comment. Using a knife to cut down a tree is a horrible idea, but using this to cut down a tree is an even worse idea.

nasedaseNo, it only hurts if you have morning wood, evening wood is ok, just never ever, EVER, use near your dingus in the morning. I didn’t realize I had morning wood, I pulled the saw out and was twirling it and nicked it, hurt the dingus out of me, as bad as a paper cut.

I would not buy one since I used this before...it is really great idea on paper....not really useful in real world....once the wood get cut almost all the way through, the saw will likely to caught on itself and make it very hard to move further. I found myself had to break the last part instead of sawing through it....also...you need two hands to use it....if the wood is moving around or in some awkward place, it will be really hard to saw...not to mention when it get start, it always move from where you want to saw due to the two hands pull motion. it also goes on side ways all the time if the wood is too thick... IMO, just buy a silky saw...you will thank yourself every time you use it...

Nope there is no actually commitment until you confirm purchase, and the drop has ended. Hitting Join Drop is just the first step. You're safe :D

supercoolLooks like the blades are not unidirectional. They are actually one direction chainsaw blade links alternating. This doesn't look like it works as well as a unidirectional hand saw.
