Agawa Canyon Folding Saw

The terms "buck saw" and "bow saw" (sometimes called a "boreal saw") are often used interchangeably as they are closely related frame saws, but they differ slightly in construction and purpose. The modern tubular-steel bow saw is intended mainly for pruning and cutting logs, whereas a buck saw is for taking down trees and processing lumber. By contrast, a traditional woodworking bow saw, which has a narrow blade tensioned in a wooden frame, is used for joinery and curved cuts.

This folding buck saw locks open without any tools, and the blade tensions itself automatically each time, so there's no separate step to adjust before you start cutting.

Yes, the blade's aggressive tooth pattern is designed to cut through green and dry wood alike, rather than being suited to just one or the other.

It folds to about 21 1/2" × 2" × 1" with the blade protected inside the frame, light enough at under 19 oz to carry in a pack.

An aluminum frame with a nylon handle and stainless-steel fasteners keeps the saw light without sacrificing durability outdoors.
