- Reviewed in Canada on February 2, 2025Verified PurchaseThis is the real deal. I use it every other day since I've bought it and it is awesooooome! I would stock a couple of those but it is useless, it is bomb proof unless you intend to break it. Best buy since a long time.
- Reviewed in Canada on July 15, 2023Verified PurchaseThis is the saw that is always in my pack.
The folding design is genius and with the addition of various blades, you can somewhat easily interchange them depending on task.
I have a Katana Boy as well for larger items, usually always in the back seat but it’s the agawa I take with me always on trips.
Cuts with ease. I often have to cut smaller logs for a stove and this works great.

5.0 out of 5 stars This saw blew my mind!
Verified PurchaseThe saw that you see in nearly every bushcraft YouTubers arsenal, and for good reason. This saw was everything I expected and more.
I hesitated for quite a while because of the price, but realized that replacement blades for this saw are only a few dollars from any hardware store, while my Bahco Laplander cost almost the price of the saw to replace the blade. So this saw would end up costing me less in the long run.
The saw is long and skinny so it slides right into my pack without taking up hardly any space and not adding much weight.
It sets up in a few seconds by unfolding and then snapping into place. The tension it puts on the blade is amazing and does not allow any flex or wobble which helps get a beautiful, clean cut very quickly.
The blade it comes with is the all purpose one which is great for green woods but still does a really good job with dried, seasoned hardwood.
The only word of advice would be to consider going with the saw and sheath combo package because while I am out just gathering firewood or building material for the camp, it is a bit tough to carry around. Since the blade is so crazy sharp I generally close it while walking, especially if carrying wood back to camp, and it doesn’t fit in any sort of pocket very well while walking. I am making a sheath now for it to help fix this.
The speed and ease that this saw works through everything I have thrown at it blows my mind.
If you’re considering this saw, but are hesitant because of the price, there are great budget saws like the Bahco Laplander that do work very well but those blades cost a lot more to replace.
If you’re considering this saw, but are hesitant because you don’t know if it will live up to the hype or the YouTube videos and reviews, just buy it. You will not be disappointed!
