      Great for camping. No sharp edges when closed. Only thing I would change would be to have off set teeth so that cut is wider than the blade.

        I was heart broken when I lost my Sven saw of 30 years. Purchased a replacement for Campmor and I am happy again. I have never been able to find a saw better than this one. Unlike similar saws my Sven stays sharp and the blade stays rigid while sawing even thick logs. Anything under about 6" is a breeze.

        Great saw. Very sturdy. Handle is a bit uncomfortable, but a layer or two of duct tape around it make the grip good.

          My father had one of these that we would use to cut down our Christmas tree with every year. I had to get one for my family and its great. Exacly as I remembered all those years ago. Like the saying goes "If it ain't broke, Don't fix it" Classic design that still works great. Thanks

                  Comments about Sven Saw Sven Folding Camp Saw 21 Inch:

                  After 30 years of rugged, continual abuse my Sven Saw has never disappointed or failed. I am still on the original blade. So impressive is this folding saw that I bought these two for my sons as they continue on the backwoods traditions. Personally, I can find no fault in this handy saw. 30 years ago, I purchased an additional blade with the saw and have never had to replace the original...and it is still as sharp today as it was new. Hoping these new Sven's are made of the same material.

                      This is the best saw to clean up limbs in your yard. I just gave 1 to a friend that is clearing sage brush and he fell in love with it.

                        Comments about Sven Saw Sven Folding Camp Saw 21 Inch:

                        The first Sven Saw that I purchased actually had a manufactures defect that did not allow it to be assembled properly. Luckily I had used one before and knew it was the saw and not operator error (me).

                        Great saw, works best when you hold it with at least one hand on the handle part that is below the blade.

                        The best part is how big it is, but how the blade is safely stored when collapsed for transport. It can then be easily strapped to the outside of pack with out worry of it cutting or snagging anything.

                              A log cabin would be a bit much for this blade. Also this is more of a limb saw verses a true cross cut lumbering saw.

                              I've had this Sven folding saw for over 20 years -- and I'm just thinking of replacing the blade now. It is a great hand saw for cutting small branches (up to about 6" diameter). I use it for firewood when camping and for pruning trees at home.

                              The overall length of the saw while closed is about 21". The red handle comes completely off and the blade folds down into the silver part. Then the red handle slides onto the end of the silver piece. It is a nice, handy set up.

                              This saw folds up to the length of the silver bar (21 inches). Only a small wing nut protrudes from one end. I keep it in a green plastic bin (my camping kit) which in turn fits in the cargo carrier on the roof of my car.
