I bought this saw on recommendation, which is a highly recommended tool in the bushcraft world. The saw is light, with a good grip for handling. The blade bites well, and the saw is very effective at cutting.

A saw you can always rely on, even if it has been outperformed by other saws. One thing is clear: it will never let you down when you need it, unlike the more performant ones whose blades can break quite easily if you're not careful while cutting. There is a reason why the Laplander has been and will remain a legend in bushcraft—it will never break. I’ve just bought a spare one myself, to be sure that I’ll always have a backup.

I am delighted with this ball, I've been using it for a long time. It is sturdy, retains its sharpness for a long time and I know it will serve me for many more months. I highly recommend it.
-
The saw is very comfortable to use, cuts efficiently and does not take up much space. The handles are comfortable, and its light weight means you barely feel it in your backpack. I take it on trips and it fulfils its role perfectly.
-
I bought the Bahco saw after it was recommended to me by a friend and I did some research myself. It is compact, lightweight, saws incredibly well, and is very sturdy for a folding saw. Above all, it offers unbeatable value for money!
-
Durable and sharp saw, perfect for forest conditions or survival. It is lightweight, which is an advantage on longer trips with more equipment.
-
It stands out for its quality of workmanship and use compared to the competition. The possibility to replace the blade is a big plus in case of damage. The rubberised handle is non-slip and easy to maintain, and I rate the sharpness of the tool very highly. I recommend it.
-
It's a classic, very popular wood saw. I bought it as a spare for camp work. It arrived slightly damaged at the end, but outside the working area, so I hope it won't get in the way.
-
I had the opportunity to use this saw during my last training. I have no complaints – it's a great piece of equipment, worth every penny. I definitely recommend it and suggest waiting for it to be restocked online.
-
Light, small and handy, with a well-shaped handle—a little rascal among saws. Cuts very well and the button lock prevents accidental folding.
-
I compared it to my brother's saw for 250 PLN from Stihl, and it's almost as fast in cutting, but much more compact. It will definitely stay with me for a long time.
-
Very light and handy saw – it almost cuts by itself. If you're looking for a versatile, solid tool to last for years, you won't find anything better at this price.
-
Very sturdy equipment, the blade is incredibly sharp – cuts with no problem. The size is just right. There are two minor downsides: it lacks an intermediate lock when folding, so less experienced users should be careful not to pinch their fingers. The second is that some family members found it difficult to press the release button to open, but I didn't have this issue.
-
Great saw—light, handy and incredibly sharp. The possibility of personalisation makes it a perfect gift for demanding bushcraft enthusiasts.
-
Small, but extremely efficient. It saws incredibly quickly – the result exceeded my expectations. It's lightweight, quickly handles suitably sized pieces of wood. Working with it isn’t tiring. Brilliant product!
