SAW SELECTION Back to Basics
Back to Basic Saw Selection is a quick look at various saw options and what would work best for your specific application. Saw selection can be somewhat confusing if you don't have an understanding of basics such as aggressive teeth vs. saws used for crafting or situations where a less aggressive blade would excel. Why a saw would be better suited for a woodshop than the woods. Why you would use one for firewood and one for camp tasks. There are various saw options available, but with the right saw, every task can be accomplished with ease.

Pathfinder PFM40 Cook Set and New Alcohol Stove
Brought it! Compared it! Disappointed. The Cheap Generic Chinese one was Better. Everybody Claims There's is the Best.
What's the water resistance rating on these tarps? Is it 2,000mm, 3,000mm?
Guys, be aware that pruning saws are designed to be used on the "pull-stroke" or "pull-cut", that's because, when reaching up above your head it's easier to cut using a pull stroke than a push stroke. The teeth are angled differently for the pull stroke. Often I see folk using a pruning saw to cut already felled limbs or when acquiring "Fat-Wood" but you'll cut quicker and with less effort using a normal carpenters cross-cut hand saw; some of the heat hardened throw away saws made by Sandvik are good. So, as they say, use the correct tool for the job / saw.
Great class ! Thanks! Nothing was cut but the information was priceless. Never thought of teeth per sq inch ! Just camp saws and bucking 27 to 38 inch steel saws for camping and put a split garden hose over the blade and carried a couple of spare blades inside of the hose in case I snapped one in a log. I am 65 years old and haven't broken a blade that I can remember since 1992. I've always just bought what Ace hardware had on the shelf. I have two axes a great little hatchet I found on a scouting adventure back as a tender foot 1975 . No markings but about 1 1/2 lb head and keeps a good edge . I finally bought my GRAIL knife a Bark River Kephart CPM3V 5inch with black scales and red liners Haven't regretted that purchase-- never will ! I'll bequeath it to my grand nephew I believe. All my camping supplies have of late been from your store . Great geer great value and long lived. My favorite item so far in the canteen cook kit with the larger steel alcohol/spirits stove . Wash it with Bonaire (bartenders friend ) And after it was introduced I had bought it and it still looks brand new ! Only a couple of minor debts and a slight discoloration of the bottom . Well just wanted you to know I Appreciate a classy no frills class with rock solid information over the regular bushcraft channels destruction tests .👌👍🙋♂️
Ha I just bought Coghlan’s pocket sierra saw, which is flimsy, but 4” and like 2 oz’s, so now I have no excuse to not have a saw in my pack…
Ethan Becker actually has 1 of the last original kepharts and makes one as close as he can as well. The PKS and Becker kepharts are two knives I definitely have high on my list for no other reason than they’re awesome historically speaking as well as practical use.
Where do you go to look at the knives you offer?
Great to see someone doing a demo with challenging pieces of wood
Your logo would give away your position if trying to be stealthy
My goodness gracious i just ate and after watching this I'm starving again lol this looks amazing awesome job
great video! why did you put a stick horizontally above the pot, I'm not very experienced does it help in any way?
Dave have always loved, Loved, LOVED you on your adventures with your co-heart. for I can only afford non-paid tv. You always amaze, with your cognitive knowledge, way better for me for there is no ass, or crotch, or boobs, that all woman have in their arsenal, but some choose not to make money with their attributes, as per the young ladies that claim to be an out door human, to make you tube cash to pay for trips around the world. Keep teaching what you teach for you are valuable every second, every minute, every time you speak to all!!! And I see you as one of the valuable You Tube informational guides. Stay happy, and stay healthy.
Thank you for coming back to this topic. This is the sort of thing that isn't discussed enough: saws, shovels, and other common-sense tools that don't have military connotations or sound like weapons of some kind.
Thanks for the shout-out, Dave! P.S. My (untested) saw is a Corona with a 7” blade, courtesy of the neighborhood hardware store.
just got it in the mail and immediately tested with magnetic to see if it was stainless steel. The magnet tried to stay on, but on some parts, fell off. It stays on the cup a bit, but not on the canteen, lid, or stove. Not the supplier's fault, I guess, but I feel very naive for not having looked for reviews before buying. I looked only at Amazon's reviews and those are sooooo full of lies.
Nice idea! I love it! 👍👍🇺🇸😁
Please talk about the difference between a push/pull blade vs a pull blade when comparing saws.
Informative and beneficial video
Hi! Thank you for the Great comparison. And well all the other amazing videos ! One question if you don’t mind. How do you go about cleaning that inwards folded mouth on the canteen?
Scandi grind is garbage.
I'm a Fiskars saw, folding and small non folding saw
I give the Bahco a little more credit with one feature many saws do not have. The Bahco cuts sawing in both directions. You'd be surprised how many seemingly much better saws only cut in one direction. Something to consider if saving energy or working fast comes into play. Probably just forgot after all there are a lot of considerations to remember.
Thanks for sharing...
There was one folding saw you did not mention. When it comes to bucking large quantities of firewood it rules over them all. The agawa boreal 24. I have that combined with a silky big boy. Unbeatable combination for firewood.
I carry a silky Gomboy in my multi day pack, and a Pocketboy in my daypack/haversack. For fine work I use the saw in my old Leatherman. It works great for making notches, etc. Always good to review the basics every once in a while.
Thank you for the informative video
The bails for the pots could use a bend to keep them steady if hung over a fire
Can you leave a list in the description?
Always went very well with Baho, knife and saw. Nice to see it in the list I used it for basically everything, never even think of needing to cut big things, since i don't find it necessary. Thx for the vid!
Where can I find that saw that looks like a butterfly knife?
Does silky make that saw blade sheath?
Heads up that link is broken. Awesome set up thanks for sharing.
This is a great how to video. Simple and hits every important point!
I never considered a saw until I acquired a handful of Sandvik Laplanders (before they sold it to Bahco). Used them for decades until I got to needing a new one and discovered Silky from RUclips. Bought a Gomboy, eventually moved to Bigboy. Cuts like a chainsaw. I carry a smaller saw blade on a pocket knife for crafting.
Very good video. 👍🏼 My favorite is the Gomboy. With spare blades with different tpi, it makes a great all-around tool. 👍🏼👍🏼
I love my Carona saws I bought 12-15 years ago at Lowe’s for $20. They are still going strong after many years of use.
Farm Project likes Carona
Wow. And here I'm still using my Gerber Exchange-a-Blade with wood and bone blades.
Good advice, my needs in regards to firewood are for twig stove & a Kelly Kettle Trekker here in Australia. I went with a Silky Pocket Boy & a spare finer blade. Works for my needs. Thank you for sharing 👍
Silky are very brittle. Ive never seen a used Silky that wasn't broken. I believe corona is a better saw. I still follow a old boyscout trick of carrying saw blades then making a buck saw. You learn skills and have a great saw blades take up almost no space.
I use the Silky Big Boy. Its the best saw i ever used. Definitely worth the money.
I made a small knife bade that fits into the small pocket boy saw from a circular saw blade. It also locks when in the open position and folds into the handle. So it is now duel purpose . I mostly use it for food prep. It is in my everyday carry work bag. 😂
Thanks, Dave,
No comments or sensorship?
Just forgot to click the button.
Something you didn’t mention. I like the Silky as well as the Bahco. But because of the different temper between the two, if you put the Silky in a bind it will snap. If you put the Bahco in a bind it will bend. You could straighten the Bahco back out but not the Silky. Something to consider in a survival situation perhaps.
Spot on, I've never seen a laplander break, but know of 2 silky that snapped the blade, maybe driver error, but I'll stick whith my laplander, Atb.
Curved blade has a more aggressive bite on the draw,ie,get more cutting power for the effort. Straight blade better for finer cuts, accuracy ,getting in to forks and tends to bind and get stuck less. Curved blade with less teeth per inch for firewood etc and straight blade with more teeth per inch for more control detail work. Did a few years as arborist and used both depending on whether it was pruning or removals. Yeah and silky kick ass. Futures so bright😎
Yes the silky is great, got one and recommend it to anyone!
A saw, a small scandi grind knife, and a large/thick saber grind drop point knife are the only blades I need when out in the field.
Lenox tri-fold hand saw is another option. Can replace saw blades from coarse wood to fine metal cutting. It is small and compact to put in backpacks.
What type of blade for cutting bone?
Excellent breakdown of the saws! So muck knowledge from each video! Thank you!
Hard to beat the Laplander for general purposes. I use it around the yard and when i go backpacking occasionally.
