    Bahco 6.75" 7" overall, feels flimsy, made in Sweden is nice but quality is not nearly as good as my silky pocket boy 170 pro (large teeth) made in Japan (link below). I'm sure it would work in a pinch, blade is basically the same length as Pocketboy (within a half inch) but the teeth on the silky are way more aggressive. Pocketboy has a rubbery soft grip, nice feel. the Bahco has a hard cheap plastic feeling and overly large (although good for gripping with large winter gloves I'm sure) handle, the locking mechanism needs to be used to open and close the Bahco, and it has quite a bit of play side to side when stored. the Silky is a nice snug pressure fit that is easy to open and a high quality lock only used to close it. The silky also comes with a nice carry case, this Bahco came stuck in some cardboard with no case.

    The Laplander is lighter overall so if weight is a factor take note, this might be ideal for backpackers.

    Overall I'd pay the extra money and get the silky (Link below) if you can afford it, but for a budget option the Bahco looks like it would probably work for some minor saw work in a pinch or if you needed something lighter for backpacking. I'll gift mine to my son as I like the silky better.
