@SchoolofSurvival2B If Canadian Tire wasn't out of stock at the time i could have got it for $25 I think it all balances out from country to country. Our wages are very high here. So are our prices :o)
@pcgamesftw1 For sure :o) I wasn't complaining about the price, but was surprised that our Canadian Tire store did have it for half the price...hehe! Oh well, Not too worried about it.
This Econo Challenge participant will be traveling with the Gerber Gator this year. However, I am a gram wienie. So I am leaving the extra blade and cool sheath at home.
I think if you don't need a fine blade, the cheaper one is as good. But, how much are the replacement blades? If they go for 5 bucks a pop then long term the gerber is cheaper
well most auctions had free shipping for the usa but if your in canada i dought it would be a lot.. maybe 10 bucks max. either way theyre still running pretty cheap. just a quick fact for anyone interested in this saw.
Well, we can never get things shipped here for $10 from USA! And if I could I can buy it at Canadian Tire right now for $25 which would be the same amount with out having to wait a week or two. For us sometimes it's better to pay a little more locally then to order online. Especially when the price comes out nearly the same!
well heck, the gerber comes with an extra blade! theres your price difference! naturally it should cost much more, plus i'd bet the gerber uses better steel as well. nice review. thanks.
Thanks :o) Actually I did see later that I could have bought it for $25 at Canadian Tire but I didn't know they had them there...hehe! Oh well! It's no use crying over spilled milk...hehe No big deal! I found the World Famous saw to be just as good in the long run and alot lighter packing. I checked the price again and it was only $11 :o)
I have the Gerber Gator saw. I like it. It was like $29.99 at my local hunting store (Gander Mountain). The Bahco Laplander is virtually unavailable. The Gerber Gator is$16.50 + $6.08 shipping from Amazon.
Nice saw! I have a wood handled Fiskars I got from Home Depot for about $15-. Locks open and closed, no sheath, so you have to wrap a rubber band around it that was glomed from asparagus or broccoli! ; )
I use the Sierra Saw by Coghlan. It has a 7 tempered steel blade that cuts very well. For about $20 Canadian its a good little saw. One major negative is the blade will bend and sometimes warp. I have replaced it four times in the past 15 years due to a bent or broken blade. One minor negative is the blade does not lock closed. You have to buy the sheath separately to store it safely. So which one is the better deal?
I'm not sure what to think of anything made or sold by Coghlan to be honest. Almost sounds like the World famous would be a better saw for the money. I haven't had any problem with that one at all. The jury is still out on the gerber Although it appears to be pretty good for now. You could get that alot cheaper than me too. I paid too much at the local sports shop. It was the only place I could find one at the time. Later I saw it in Canadian Tire for $25 man...haha...good deal :o)
No I actually don't.. Mabye I'll just do a short vid here at home.. But I think I'll wait untill friday when I have my batterycharger again and when I'm in the woods:)
No bowing problems. I'm not sure on the weight. I don't have a scale to weigh the light gear mainly cause I usually don't worry about weight...if it's light, I know it's light!...haha!.Ilike it because it's held up for for quite a while now and is lighter than the gerber...but the quality isn"t as high as the gerber :o)
I looked up a folding pruning saw the US walmart stocks online and it was 8 inches with a wood style handle and a steel blade. The shipping weight was 5.6 ounces so it's probably less than that.
I'll have to check the store next time I go. I have and old walmart saw, but it doesn't fold, is much longer and heavier and has buckling tendencies if you aren't careful.
Great review. That must be a new model. It doesn't look like the one I was looking at. That one locked in both positions. Yeah, sometimes the cheap stuff is as good, if not better. Thanks for the vid.
Your very welcome my friend:o) I faved a vid from quietbearr I believe. It must be the older version. You push thebutton on the side, and apparently it wouldn't stay locked if it wasn't kept tight. The world famous doesn't look as strong, but it's been holding up good for me since spring. We'll see how it hols up on the long haul :o)
I gotta get this.

the Gerber Gator Folding Saw is $19 online, comes with 2 types of blades.. = a LOT of saw for the money :D
TheMystery7314 1 year ago
@TheMystery7314 Once ya pay for shipping it doesn't make it any cheaper than our local Canadian tire store for $25 :o)
Ggreenvideos 1 year ago
@Ggreenvideos well $25 ain't that bad :) as this is way over Wal-Mart quality I'd say
TheMystery7314 1 year ago
I just saw both at Walmart here in Toronto. World Famous looked decent, light weight, about 10 bucks, in the camping section.
The Gerber is in the tools section, bit heavier, didn't check the price.
