Silky Japanese Folding Saw Gomboy Curve 300 mm Coarse with Curved Blade

This saw is fantastic and makes quick work of even big branches and trees. I carry it in my mtb pack and it's a must have for heavy forests.

Great saw for back country camping

Très pratique, coupe avec une grande facilité, achat effectué après avoir vu une de la même marque ( coloris rouge) qui a permis de couper en tronçons un cèdre de 15 mètres de haut jusqu'à 3 m de sa base. Ensuite vu la largeur du tronc, le reste a été coupé par une tronçonneuse.

sehr gute Schnittleistung und schnelle Lieferung

Cuts one inch and smaller (hard and soft) branches in 3-5 pulls or about 5 seconds (max).Cuts two inch wood in about 10-20 seconds depending on hardness.Cuts 3 inch wood in about 30-40 seconds depending on hardness.Didn't test larger, but adding 15 second increments per inch is a safe 'scale' to determine how quickly it will cut. I'd probably max out on 5 or 6 inches though. It can be done, but will be more tedious considering blade length.Makes some clean cuts, even with the large teeth, and is extremely easy to use. I lightly push back over the cut without digging in to make it easier to keep cutting. It requires hardly any effort to cut (emphasis on that), which is extremely useful in not burning excess calories.The 'sheath' holds nicely on a belt (unless you're wearing a 'loose' belt), and will spray paint mine as the orange stands out through the clear plastic (which is good if you're trying to find it if dropped, but not if you're trying to keep a 'low profile'). It is not as secure of a latch on the 'sheath' as I'd like it be, but it didn't pop open on me while frolicking about testing it lol. Worst case, I'll keep it the pack, and put it on the belt when processing wood. Invest in different 'sheath' if you use a 'loose' tool belt as this primarily stays on through compression between your body and belt. (Which is comfortable by the way)The large teeth make quick work of any wood. Can use a multi-tool for fine (small) cutting, or a medium blade (I'll be purchasing another large and possibly medium blade for versatility but extra blades will -not- fit in the case unfortunately).This size is perfect for practically all your needs except large wood processing.The weight is negligible (far exceeds usefulness vs weight, it's extremely light anyways) and will be a necessary item as it'll outperform any hatchet and most axes, especially when considering energy usage.I don't suspect durability will be an issue, but it's fair to expect many years of heavy usage. Only downside is you can't sharpen the teeth apparently. Will put that to the test when the time comes, and is also the reason I'm purchasing some extra blades.Bottom line, this thing is an invaluable resource in the backcountry. Definitely worth the money and is a good investment. Glad I bought it.
