Is this type of saw more backpack friendly?
Are they any good?

I have a kershaw alaskan blade changer with a very similar saw and it's incredible. Makes it real easy to prune dead trees for firewood without snapping yourself in the face

They're pretty good. I prefer the folding ones because they are more solid. Also wood handles always better.

If you're going on an extended trip might as well pack a larger saw blade and construct a bow or buck saw in the field.
You can carry the saw on the inside of your belt or even coiled inside a cooking pot

Use mine every day at work. Always keep them in my leg pocket and hardly notice it. Love em!
They cut through 3'' branches in 3 seconds.
Unless you're planning to take down an entire tree I don't see a reason to bring a full size saw.

and from experiance, please PLEASE! dont buy a fiskars saw with the round tighting lug think, they sieze up, and the plastic just before it breaks to the point the saw is 100%useless
just get a regular locking saw

Anyone have a recommendation of a good folding saw? I use it for work so I need it to be extremely durable

That type of saw is backpack friendly. I wouldn't get a fiskars though, in my experience they are flimsy.

I use a Silky Pocketboy with a large tooth blade.

I had a simalar one, the metal is flimsy and willbend out of shape since there isnt any reinforcements on the far side.

Look for something like >>810178 posted. Or a saw thats kind of like a rope (I dont know the name) and has two handles on each end.

I figured that the regular Bahco would be plenty backpack friendly . . .

I like the Silky saws, but a lot of people seem to bend the blades very easily, and break them.

The Carona saws look alright, but kind of large for what they are. They also were clearly drunk when designing the lanyard loop on them.

I use a SOG revolver knife. It alternates between partial sedation knife or saw blade. Good for having a mediocre knife for whittling around a fire and the saw is decent. It feels a tad flimsy but it hasn't given me any troubles yet. I'd recommend only getting it on sale or on Amazon, SOG has some rough markups for the name. Pic related.

Silky without a doubt. A little bit heavy, though. Silky is the brand that arborists swear by.

Definitely backpack friendly, not exactly anot industrial grade item though, it's not built to be abused. For regular tasks, it works.

I use one in the garden all the time

mine is an opinel, weighs basically nothing, but the handle is a bit thick and the blade has more flex than I would like

great for pruning trees that have to be climbed, or for gathering willow

what would you use it for?
I can only really see the aplication when
A. you care about the tree
B. you need net cuts for building things

Bacho Laplander is better, it cuts on the push and pull stroke so it's more efficient.

You do realize the blade is also called the bar? The part you meant was chain which is shit when used by hand, regardless of how sharp it is, it's too wide to be used by hand, that's why you need a strong engine to make it saw properly

uhm no, i did it many did it it works great actually probably cuts better than any handsaw.
needs a little tweaking to use real comfy you need to build a rack saw and tighten it real good.

only problem might be with commercial chains made for chainsaw is they are unidirectional teethed. but you can take the chain apart and reassemble it anyhow you like on some chains.

also if you are weak consider full skip, it allows for greater speed as it has less teeth not much difference in performance either to full teeth.

i think a chainsaw would jump off a lot. afterall it's designed for high speed cutting

you can still comfortably pack a bowsaw blade and make the frame in the woods

well it cuts just as well and packs in smaller place. not sure about lighter alu uframe can be pretty light, but the blade will be long no matter what you do. using chain makes it possible to save a lot of space.
