Folding Bow Saws

[ozzy1977]

Hi I am thinking of getting a folding bow saw, only problem is I cant find one. I seem to remember one from a few years ago that had a standard 21'' blade and folded up, but when set up was like a normal bow saw (triangle shaped).

Can anyone point me in the right direction please

Cheers

Chris

Cheers mate that is very similar to the one I had in my head but the one I remember didnt have the handle extending below the blade

15" blade and shape will limit log thickness and stroke length somewhat.

What about the Bcb folding commando saw? Or the Bob Dustrude buck saw? (you'll have to Google them as i'm on my phone)

Got one of the bcb ones great idea but made out cheese and they dont take standard blades, the ends have been modified

The Bob Dustrude one takes a regular 24" blade and stores the blade within the folded frame.

I would recommend the Bob Dustrude saw also. You can get it in a few different sizes, I have the 24" and it works great. Plus, it takes any brand blade in that size, which makes it a lot easier than having to order a specific blade from the saw manufacturer. Here is the link to the guy where I got mine. He offers it in 21", 24" and 30". http://fourdog.com/bobs-quick-buck-saws/

Cheers people, think a 21'' Bob Dustrude might be on the way very soon
