Tried it out at home, works great! Took it on a canoe camping trip and cut quite a bit of firewood! Found out, it’s easy to “ overpower “! If you try to force it, the blade is SO sharp it really digs in to the wood, if you take it easy , it cuts very fast and efficiently! It’s a Sven Saw! It’s awesome!

Leo: I have not cut anything with it yet. Goes together good and seems like it should work. I bought it for backpacking trips so I’ll know more this summer.

Morgan: I have yet to use it. But it is slim and trim and feels like it will last. It will strap on my bag easily. Cant wait to take it for a spin.

Curtis: I've had this saw for a few years now and love it for backpacking. It's a light saw and cut large wood great. It bent on a push stroke my fault so I hat to replace it. MEC stopped selling the 21 in so I was very happy that Amazon carried it.

shrimp sandwich: I spent a lot of time reading reviews and watching videos of this saw as well as the Silky saws. I decided to get the Sven, and I took it on a camping trip. To my surprise and glee, my buddy brought a Silky BigBoy with him, so we were able to test both.
The first thing I processed with the Sven was a 4" dry Cedar. I was very happy. Like butter.
I then tried the Silky, and it took maybe 50% more effort - still great, don't get me wrong, but I was very pleased with my Sven decision.
The next thing we processed was a dead but still sappy 4" White Pine. This was harder for the Sven. The Silky was nicer.
I did hear that during my research, that the Silky is better for fresh(er) wood. It's a different blade/tooth configuration. I would definitely say this is true, and I urge you to take that into account when choosing.
The BigBoy doesn't stay closed when you close it, and it's slightly heavier and slightly girthier than the Sven. Also, the fresher wood obviously doesn't burn as nicely, so I personally decided to stick with my new Sven - I'd rather look for dryer stuff than deal with a cold fire. But, if you're looking to cut something other than firewood...

Westerner: I bought this to replace a Corona folding saw in my off-road SUV. I use this saw primarily to clear branches that block the trail or to cut up trees or limbs that have fallen across the trail and are too big to pull clear. Even if I use the winch, some things need to but cut up so they will fit into where I want to pull them. I don't have room to always carry a gas-powered chainsaw, but a fast hand saw works great for wet wood up to 6 inches and dry (dead) wood possibly 8 to 10 inches thick. Bigger than that, I probably don't need to bother it.
My biggest reason for replacing the folding saw was that the particular one I had didn't sheild all the teeth of the curved blade within the wood handle. I didn't like the sharp saw teeth in my tool bag. A straight saw (with the handle in a straight line from the blade) doesn't give the best power, but this triangular design is the best of both worlds (folds straight, and opens to a large angle between the blade and handle).
The disadvantage of a frame saw like this is that you can run into the limit of the frame cutting through a thick piece. A panel saw (whether fixed or folding handle) can keep going indefinitely. Still,...

Oniongrower: We had purchased this same saw 15 years ago. It got left behind at a campsite. We purchased 2 more. This saw folds into a very small flat "stick", makes it ideal for camping. It will cut up firewood for your campfire very quickly!
