BJ: Love this saw. Best design I've seen. No removable parts to lose. Unfolds quickly and easily. Comes with an excellent blade. Excellent value.

SMC: I just wish this had an option to buy the exact same saw with metal vs. molded plastic. It would be worth a couple more dollars and would give me more confidence in its lifespan. Also, why no carry pouch option? Why not sell extra blades on the same page? Somebody is slipping on the add on sales potential.

Mikhail Tskhay: As i got this saw it looked fine, plastic pieces could be done better it just look cheap and overal the whole saw could be sturdier.

Simon Goyette: Scie de camping fonctionnelle, donc qui prend peut d'espace (se replie sur elle-même) et qui utilise des lames standards de scie à archet de 21''. Bon, simple et facile à changer la lame, quoi demander plus!

Nate: I bought this and the Sven saw to compare the two. I have to say I was surprised to find myself reaching for this one more often than the Sven.

The coughlan's main advantage is ease of assembly/disassembly. Everything is hinged together and folds open and shut in 2-3 seconds, whereas the Sven saw requires you to screw on a wingnut and assemble the handle (non hinged). The coughlan is also a bit lighter for the same size blade.

The only disadvantage in operation is less ability to tighten the blade. There's just two notches for different tightness, which over time will require more frequent blade replacements than the Sven. Long term durability is probably not as rugged as the Sven since it has a plastic handle (though its a very thick, sturdy, molded plastic).

For the price paid I am happy to use this and I would buy it again over the Sven for the $$ saved.

marcusmmm: Have not used it to cut, but the aluminium at the ends where they have been cut are very sharp and have not been deburred which is disappointing on a £50 saw as it would take literally a couple of minutes, I have 2 folding saws half this price which have a better production finish.

Fletcher: Sturdy and well designed, folds down nicely and simply. Seems well made, but at £45 I think it's a bit expensive considering a standard good quality bow saw is a little under half that - the only real difference here is the hinge, so I feel like I'm paying £25 for that hinge.

The handle bar folds back on itself so as to brace against the cross bar, which I think takes some strain off the hinge itself. The material is quite thick so hopefully it won't break, but especially considering the price I'd have liked the hinge to be metal instead of plastic.

Candid ReviewerCandid Reviewer: The 21" Coghlans Folding Saw is one of the best values in camping/bushcraft gear I've found yet. When I was younger, I worked for a gigantic outdoor sports retailer, where I came to know Coghlans as a company that makes very cheap, one- or two-time use items for family camping on a very tight budget. Imagine my surprise, then, when I took a risk and discovered that this saw is better designed and just as well built as some of the best portable saws on the market by more respected manufacturers.

SMARTLY UPDATED FOLDING-TRIANGLE DESIGN -- FASTER TO DEPLOY, WITH NO PIECES TO LOSE

If you've seen or used a 21" Sven folding saw, the 21" Coghlans Folding Saw should look very familiar. It's virtually identical in size to the Sven. When folded, it's 21" long x 2-5/8" wide (at the wider folding handle end)x 1/2" thick. It weighs 16 oz. When deployed, the triangular geometry of the saw is almost identical to the Sven as well. But the similarities end there.

Coghlans has substantially improved on the folding triangle design. First, there are no loose parts like the Sven's notoriously easy-to-misplace wing nut for attaching and tensioning the blade. Instead, all of the...
