Saw this at Tchibo, looks good comes with a spare blade, maybe worth a try

Cheers

Magnese blade? Is that almost as good as titanium for holding edges

 

[allenko]

Dunno Jake but it looks the part!

Not seen them in use before, but it may be worth a try for that price.

Wonder if the blade locks in or out - one of the reasons I like the Laplander is that it does both. The Laplander blade can live through a bit if a bending too. And the pattern of the teeth make for easier cutting.

According to their advert it locks both in and out. So does the one from B&Q

Just checked and the B&Q one only measures 34cm though

I have one of those folding saws from B&Q and find it pretty good. Sharp agressive teeth and only £6. Shame its bright orange

Much easier to keep track of where you put it though. Am speaking from experience having lost a green Laplander... doh ! :roll: Now ive an orange tipped Bahco saw

I am sorry, but you had a sharp that was the best part of a foot long and you lost it?
safety?

It was while building a natural shelter. The saw had a crab on it which I mustnt have clipped to my belt properly and by the time id finished making it kicking/moving tons of leaf litter, loosing light etc - couldnt find it. Mistakes happen to the best of us.
