So we came across a wood/brush pile and needed to cut out some long pieces for a shelter. Couldn't get a chopper in deep enough. My Sven saw couldn't get in there. My buddy had a folding saw that did the trick. So, now I want to add one to my gear list.
Any recommendations for a Sierra saw type folder? I want something that will last with good steel.

Another +1 for Silky.
I have a Silky Pocketboy 170 that I like a lot. I also keep a band saw in the camping bag (from Home Depot) for the bigger logs.

Kershaw (also packaged as the Bahco Laplander) folding saw. It eats logs for breakfast! Love it. You can find them for less then $20. ![[Linked Image from bensbackwoods.com]](http://www.bensbackwoods.com/catalog/kershaw%20saw.jpg)

SOG is coming out with a new and interesting one, ![[Linked Image from img.photobucket.com]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v307/jooliesews/Bobbys/Shot%20Show%2010/SOG11.jpg) The blade locks open - and locks closed - by means of the rocker switch on the spine. 8-1/4" blade length suppose to be out next month for around 20 usd (from a review)

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, if you don't take it out and use it, it's going to rust.

I have a couple of Silky saws and they are really nice.
I'd like to check out the Laplander saws too.

The Silky in Pink's photo looks enormous (is there a smaller version?) The Kershaw is great for backpacking.
