Excellent little device July 28, 2010

I am a camper, walker, hiker kinda girl and like to make a real fire. This is excellent. I use to have an axe and get out my pen knife etc, now axe stays home. This is just perfect. I highly recommend
Cracking piece of kit July 25, 2010

I decided to buy this item to help in a new hobby - bushcraft. I'd seen many reviews of this product both on Youtube and other sites. Basically, I was seeking something which would represent a reasonable alternative to carrying a small axe. I'd also been to the usual places like large garden centres and the larger B&Q superstores who normally have a good range of tools - some crap, some very good brand names. However, I couldn't see this model. I checked out a variety of other folding saws which were all more expensive. Quality was poor in terms of build quality, i.e. blades seemed thin and too flexible and handles appeared flimsy. They were not sturdy and did not inspire confidence. So, I decided to order the Bahco Laplander from Amazon at a fraction of the normal retail price. Ordered Sunday, confirmation e-m re. despatch on Monday, arrived Tuesday. Perfect on-line shopping experience. Tried out this saw properly for the first yesterday. Absolutely brilliant. It is very lightweight, great size and because it folds back into the handle can be carried safely and unobtrusively. It is also as sharp as they come. When I first checked out the blade I was a bit unsure about how sharp it would be because of the black protective coating on the blade. However, after using it several times the coating disappeared from the teeth and revealed razor sharp teeth which could saw through wood like a hot knife through butter. The handle is also very strong and doesn't bow or buckle under pressure or when squeezed. The saw also locks solidly into place safely both when the blade is extended and when it is returned to the handle. This is a must have item for anyone considering bushcraft, or survivalists and would also represent an excellent tool for any serious gardener. Hardly surprising that its recommended by none other than Ray Mears. From now on this will be in my backpack always. Brilliant buy!

Bought for my father - says it's the best saw he's ever used - can't stop raving about how good it is. Mother says he's out the door every minute finding new things to use it on - he used it to clear sally trees on the stretch of river bank in front of their property in record time - very successful Fathers' day gift!

When something does exactly what you expect of it and looks and feels like a quality product, there isn't much else to say, is there? If you need a pruning saw, just get this one.

I bought this because Ray Mears recommends it and I saw him use it on his TV programmes. I wanted a saw for pruning fruit trees but also one that can be used for general purpose branch cutting. I used it to saw through the trunk of a Leylandii tree that was about 6" across and I would normally attempt with a chain saw or bough saw. This little blade cut through it in a matter of seconds. It didn't snag and has a cutting action on both the forward and backward strokes. Highly recommended.
