Gerber sportsmans wood saw

A great little tool for cutting wood. The Gerber woodsman has a 6.5 inch stainles blade with what gerber calls the double cut saw tooth design that is very efficient. It is 8.5 inches with the blade retracted and weighs 3.3 ounces. I will admit I am still warming up to the idea of another one use tool in my kit, I like multi use tools, however this tool it kind of like a flashlight, doing its one job exceptionally well. While the price is very reasonable 11 bucks, the gerber wood saw does not feel "cheap".

I live in the Pacific Northwest and use a pruning saw as well in partnership with a suitable knife that can split with. I found that scoring dry would half way through in sections about one foot long prolonged the life of the blade. I find two trees tangent at the base or a heavy v notch to pry the one foot sections apart. I usually don't cut anything heavier than four inches in dia. I also use the saw for notching in shelter craft. Its faster and safer than a knife. I pack a 10 inch saw.

This saw is amazing, especially for its price. Its light as a feather, and cuts with minimal effort.
