This saw works fantastically. It’s comfortable, the blade securely locks in place, the body is metal as well as the locking mechanism. The locking mechanism has a plastic cover but other than that it’s metal. I made user error I’m so used to my Carpenrter hand saw, I forgot this is a Japanese style saw, it cuts on the backstroke, or when you pull the saw. After I remembered this important fact the saw cut perfectly and is quite aggressive. It has 9 teeth per inch and is not as aggressive as a saw that has 7 teeth per inch. It has triple cut teeth and cut quickly through green and dry wood both. I tested it on the maximum cut diameter of 4” on all cuts, no problems. It even cut a 5” piece. If you find yourself in that situation it did cut no problems but you need to use caution. I’m older and have 40 years experience of experience both hiking in and packing in on horseback in Montana, Colorado, Texas, California. I’d take this saw without hesitation. One thing you learn out in country be prepared for failure of equipment. That’s why I test anything I buy without mercy before it travels with me. I bought this saw when I saw the list of endorsements of who uses it, so I thought I’d give it a try. So far it’s performing perfectly. I personally rely on an arsenal of tools that will get me back home. Saw, good camp axe, good knife. All axe and knife are multi functional. I Cary a tooth brush (orange in color to clean teeth while sawing a lot of wood. Have fun, be safe and enjoy.

This saw is great! I use it to cut both fresh limbs (I’ve cut branches up to 5 inches) and dried wood. I found it cuts both very well. It is really well built, super sturdy, tight, locks up nicely and securely. I’ve carried it in a pocket, and felt secure that the blade wouldn’t open. It came extremely sharp and seems to hold its edge very well. One time I was cutting a piece of wood and hit a screw pretty hard. I took a few cuts back and forth before I realized this. The screw dulled the blade. It still cuts, but much more slowly. I wrote the company about purchasing another blade, making it clear that the damage was my fault. They responded within 12 hours, and to my surprise are sending me a new saw for free, even though the damage was my user error. Unbelievable. Let this give you confidence buying this saw. Companies this good deserve your business. They certainly have mine.

Bought this as a replacement for a similar camping saw that was much lighter, but much flimsier. That one lasted me through many camping trips in the woods, but there was always this fear that the locking mechanism would fail or the plastic handle would break, leading to injury (which could be bad when you're in the middle of nowhere). This saw resolves all those fears - it's solid and easily cuts through thick wood (i sawed a 4" diameter branch with no issues, which would have been problematic with the older one), with a much more secure locking mechanism , thicker blade, sturdier and grippier handle. The ONLY issue (and it's a big issue if you're looking for ultimate portability) -- it's quite heavy. Great saw overall though.

I use this saw mostly for backpack camping and yard work, and it works great! I have purchased several and given many away as gifts. Some of the blades I've bought have had a clear film on them that rubs off over time with use. This does create some extra friction, but it is minimal. Once this film is gone the saw blades will be susceptible to rust, so keep them lightly oiled and you'll be fine. The tightening screw for the blade will loosen (I recommend a small dab of loctite) but the large slot design on the screw is great because you can use a stick or rock or key to tighten it back up quickly without any other tools, whereas other saws require screw drivers and wrenches. My saw blades needed to be replaced after about 3 years of hard use. I reached out to home planet gear, and they took care of me 100%. When they say lifetime warranty, they mean it. I highly recommend this product.

This little saw has held up much better than the Fiskars product. This saw has been used on limbs twice the diameter of a soup can. The sharp teeth make quick work of trimming both green and dead wood. I am going to purchase more to give to my children.
