Thanks for this review. Its hard to beat a Bahco laplander, especially for the price. They are highly regarded in the bushcraft community as well. Ive had mine for over 5 years now. It has seen hard use and still cuts great. Haven’t even considered sharpening it yet. Would love to see a similar article on survival/Belt knives. I just got a Mora Companion HD. Its a lot of knife for the price and 4.8 oz. Nice to have knife that can baton and hold its one in a survival situation for the weight and price.
I owned a Laplander and both sizes of the Sven saws, all three are long gone.
In there places are a large Silky saw that resides in the truck (blowdown across the road) and the one that goes in my pack- the Silky F180.
Silky saws will cut circles (or through stuff faster :)) around just about any equivalent weight/length saw. You typically get a few choices in blade design (I’ll carry a fine blade for bone along with a wood blade during hunting season.
The F180 (5 oz)weighs less than the smaller Pocketboy, but has more blade length.
Sorry but the “pocket saws” are garbage imo.
Why would anyone carry a saw backpacking? If you were married you wouldn’t have to ask, because it’s the same reason you pack in chairs too- happy wife = happy life :)
