I bought this saw on recommendation; it is a highly recommended tool in bushcraft circles. The saw is lightweight, with a good grip for handling. The blade is sharp and cuts very efficiently.
Bahco Laplander Folding Saw
A folding saw in green, featuring a durable blade made from hardened steel and an ergonomic handle with a non-slip surface. Perfect for gardening tasks or use in the forest. Its compact size makes it easy to pack in a backpack or bag.
hardened steel, protective coating, locking mechanism
The 190 mm blade is made from hardened steel that offers high strength and wear resistance, and the black protective coating effectively prevents rust and reduces cutting friction. The XT toothing (7 teeth/inch) allows for efficient cutting both towards and away from you. The blade lock system secures the blade in both the open and closed positions, increasing safety during use and transport.
Ergonomic polymer handle, lanyard hole, strap
The ergonomically designed handle is made from durable polymer covered with a rubber-like, non-slip textured material. The end of the handle features a hole for attaching a lanyard, safety cord, or the included strap.

A saw you can always rely on, even if it has been surpassed in performance by other saws. One thing is clear: it will never let you down in a pinch, unlike higher-performing saws whose blades tend to break easily if you're not careful while cutting. There's a reason the Laplander has been and will remain a legend in bushcraft—it will never break. I just got a spare one myself, to be sure I always have a backup.

I am delighted with this file, I've been using it for quite some time. It's sturdy, stays sharp for a long time, and I know it will serve me well 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 makes it practically unnoticeable in a backpack. I take it on trips and it perfectly fulfills its role.
-
I bought the Bahco saw after it was recommended to me by a friend and I did some research myself. It is compact, lightweight, cuts incredibly well, and is very sturdy for a folding saw. Above all, it has an unbeatable price/performance ratio!
-
Durable and sharp saw, works perfectly in forest conditions and survival. It is lightweight, which is an advantage on longer trips with more equipment.
-
It stands out in quality of workmanship and use among the competition. The possibility of replacing the blade is a big plus in case of damage. The rubberized handle is non-slip and easy to maintain, and the sharpness of the tool is very high. 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 interfere.
-
I had the opportunity to use this saw during my last training. I have no complaints – it's great equipment, worth every penny. I definitely recommend it and suggest waiting for its online sales to resume.
-
Light, small, and handy, with a well-contoured handle – a little beast among saws. It cuts great, and the button lock prevents accidental folding.
-
I compared it with my brother's saw for 250 PLN from Stihl, and it is almost as fast in cutting, but much more compact. It'll definitely stay with me for a long time.
-
Very light and handy saw – it almost cuts on its own. If you're looking for a universal, solid tool that will last for years, you won't find anything better at this price.
-
Very solid tool, extremely sharp blade – cuts without any problem. The size is just right. Two minor drawbacks: there's no intermediate lock when folding, so less experienced users should be careful not to pinch their fingers. The second minus is that some family members found it hard to press the button to open the saw – I didn't have this problem.
-
Great saw – lightweight, handy, and incredibly sharp. The option to personalize it makes it a perfect gift for demanding bushcraft lovers.
-
Small, but extremely efficient. Saws incredibly fast – the effect exceeded my expectations. It's lightweight and quickly deals with pieces of wood of suitable size. Working with it is not tiring. Excellent product!
