I had one very similar for many years and loved it!  Took it backpacking with me all the time.

Yes.  It folds nicely and it's easy to carry with you.

I've not seen one like that before. Looks great! Have you ever tried a Silky saw? It's not foldable, but is a wonderful hand saw that cuts with ease. I really like it.
Right now I'm using a 15" Corona to cut down eastern red cedars for poles.
More power to the hand saws!

I have not heard of them... thanks for the tip. I'll check them out.
You can never have too many saws!

Big fan of pull saws such as this. You can do a remarkable amount of work without pulling out the chainsaw.

But it's a different technique. I would never lend it to someone who has only used a standard push-type carpenter saw. They will apply force at the wrong time and turn your blade into a pretzel.

That's interesting; I haven't seen saws like that before. I mostly deal with smaller limbs and have been quite happy with how quickly my 15" fiskars pruning saw and pole saw can cut through them. Those have a curved blade which helps to keep the relatively light blade in the cut.
I have a bow saw that I've used for some larger work but found it difficult to keep the cut straight. Maybe something like this would be a better option for me. Thanks for sharing!
 
It's a tiny ad. At least, that's what she said.
