Which small saw?

[Arrowsquirrel]

I'm looking to buy a small folding saw to carry while hunting. Wouldn't be carrying it every hunt, just for certain situations. Been looking at Outdoor Edge flip and zip https://a.co/d/6xQqhfg I would probably be up for something a bit bigger if it was a good option.

What recommendations do you guys have, or feedback on the flip and zip?

Silky Pocket Boy!

I second @phatkaw. Silky cuts like butter. Mine came in a nice little case as well

Which teeth do you prefer?

Looks sharp! Where you trying to trim your fingernails with it?

Another vote for the Silky. It’s a bit spendy but worth it.

 

[Mschmeiske]

I use a bahco, but I’ve never used a silky to compare and give an honest comparison.

for bone, wood branches, or both?

Gerber sliding saw

Very lightweight and compact. The saw slides in and out of the handle.

I can add to the Silky Pocketboy recommendation. It's an awesome little saw. I got the curved blade large tooth version. That little thing will do some cutting.

 

[Arrowsquirrel]

It would be for limbs only

 

[Maverick1]

Silky pocket boy. It is heavier than I anticipated though. Kind of disappointed when I first got it from that aspect. A lighter version that also cuts extremely well is a Corona. (Saw, not the virus).

Another really good folding pocket saw, especially for the money is the Corona Razortooth 7 inch saw.

Hooyman Megabite. This thing rips through stuff quick and it's light. I've had mine for 4 or 5 years and it still cuts great

Silky Pocket Boy…I’ll post some pics later this week on how I set it up on my saddle.

If only cutting branches and you worry about weight, the lightest I'm aware of is the Darlac pocket saw (like 2 ounces). I've used one for several years. The handle is plastic, so you have to let the saw do the work. The lightest saw I've seen that I consider really tough is the Opinel wood saw. It's 3.5 ounces and I'd trust it in a survival situation.

No.12 Carbon Steel Folding Saw

A camper or gardener's must have. This very light (5 oz) and rugged folding saw can cut small trees or branches up to 4 inches.

descriptions says it is 5 ounces....no idea why they would lie to make their product look heavier

and here's my favorite

Darlac Mini Pocket Folding Saw DP818 | Darlac Garden Tools

The Darlac Mini Pocket Folding Saw is a multi-purpose saw that’s ideal for pruning, DIY and camping. Garden tools you can rely on from Darlac Tools.

i bought an extra....hard to find a USA site for it....i think i got both mine off ebay

spyderco should make an FRN handle knife with full wood saw teeth instead of the spydie teeth....i'd buy 2.....they have several different length platforms to choose from already

I’m also a silky fan. I use one for hunting and professionally at work.

The local grape farmers here use Felco pruners and saws and this Felco 600 works
Tremendously. It also has a push button thumb release to fold and lock it open. My old (but heavy) Service Star pruners are from the 1980’s still going strong.

 

[woodsdog2]

I also carry this saw in my quiver when going into new spots it also works to reach out and pull a branch to you to tie it out of the way if you can’t cut. Mostly but not always, this is what I take with me… 4 Broadheads and this saw in my five arrow quiver.
