Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This saw weighed 9.5 oz. on my scale and 13 oz. with an extra blade and cordura sheath, 15.5" of cutting teeth on the blade and the inside frame measures 16" end to end, I measure 5.25" cutting depth--a bit more than the spec says, it sets up quickly and saws good.
I rounded the corners on the blades with a dremel tool and later other areas of the saw also got some file and dremel work to take off sharp edges so I can do away with the sheath without endangering other gear in my pack.
Spring steel strips inside the main tube pinch the stored blades tightly as you slide them in so they don't rattle around.
It's getting dents on the two down pieces where they contacts the main back piece when unfolded; I may be tightening the blade too much but tough sawing will still spring the blade off.
After a dozen or so campfires it got banged a little by a dropping branch that I sawed through and I can't tension the blade now, though I can't find any sign of damage on it, so it's back to my tough old 21" Sven saw that's seen 50x the work of the sawvivor with no damage. I may fix the sawvivor later but it's lightweight construction comes with a light-duty rating that I'll no doubt violate many times when camping so it certainly won't be going on winter outings where a campfire is fairly important.
