Never used one but I don't like how you can't just buy spare blades alone without wasting money on a whole new saw. I keep multiple backup blades on hand because they're essentially a consumable item unless you want to go down the rabbit hole of resharpening modern 20 whatever degree saw teeth and chasing down proprietary saw files. I always keep one spare blade in my pack in case I bend one or ruin it on a nail or something, and so if I'm ever in a "real" survival situation I can have one fresh blade at the beginning of its service life and not have to strictly rely on the blade I've been using all year long for trail maintenance and training. The blades weigh about 1 ounce each. Pretty much a real life cheat code.
>unless you want to go down the rabbit hole of resharpening modern 20 whatever degree saw teeth and chasing down proprietary saw files
it's surprisingly easy to make your own files in whatever shape you want, just takes steel, charcoal, and the patience to learn
Nah, it tears through firewood super quick, like the dude does in the video having a t hande on the end when you tension the blade makes all the difference. After making one of these it's my go to saw for backpacking and hiking trips.
Dude you're fricking delusional if you think that sawtooth pattern is suitable for a camp saw. You must have nothing to compare it to. Go to Walmart and buy the 7" Fiskars folding saw, even that will be 100X faster.
>based cheap folding saw enjoyer
It's a damn folding saw. Don't need no Japanese silky black-plated seven cutting angles lifetime warranty horseshit.
bahco laplander should be pretty good too

they do sell replacement blades. 25e for a saw and 10e for replacement blade. not too bad
Oh, okay, nvm then. Don't remember why I thought you couldn't get blades for it. Maybe it was just Amazon.

Yeah it's also "surprisingly easy" to make your own forge, crossbows, black powder, etc. I just don't have time for that.
good enough for ancestor
Knife + saw for backpacking, survival, and general scouting and adventures. Axe for extended camping trips at fixed camps and long term subsistence.
Grog approved.
>as good as your Silky but cuts 2x slower for the same effort
ftfy
Shoppers be shoppin
Just diy one of these, if the blade gets fricked, buy a new blade.
that is a fricking sawzall blade that would take forever to get through a tree using it by hand
