This saw still finds its way into the pack. It weighs about 8 ounces, and cuts great. The blade is of a comparable quality to my Japanese carpenter saws. The handle is made of Zytel, superstrong and superlight. The teeth are very sharp and made of good stainless. I took it on a two-week BC kayaking trip, and it shows no staining despite the salt that everything is exposed to on such a trip.<\/p>\n<p>With a simple twist of the locking nut, the blade is securely locked open or safely closed inside the handle. It also has a belt clip that allows easy and secure access, though I haven&#8217;t used this feature.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"FiskarsSaw2.jpg.jpg\" src=\"\/wp-content\/archiveimages\/FiskarsSaw2.jpg.jpg\" width=\"228\" height=\"155\" class=\"mt-image-none\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This saw can do it all from opening the chest of an elk, securing firewood or building an emergency shelter. It sure beats the tiny saws of a Leatherman tool or a Swiss army knife, and with a comparable weight.
