In my ongoing knifesawchoppingcarvingcarrying dilemma I decided to give the saw blade a try. I went to the hardware store and asked for a saw blade for dead wood, for a saw ‘just like the one in the window’.
“O.k., what size?”
:shock: “Ehh, about this (stretching my arms).”
“There are six sizes.”
:shock: “Ehh, o.k. I want nr. Six (totally no clue)!”
Fine, now I own a 71 cm sandvik saw blade, sharp as hell. It was less than 3 euro so well within my budget. It’s even not worth going back and admitting my stupidity!
There is no way of course that I could roll up this 71 cm spring steel killing tool into a hoop that would fit in my pot without decapitating me as soon as I lift the straps. It will remain on the wall of my tool shed to keep this learning experience fresh.
Anyway, I will not give in!
We will prevail and buy another saw blade (I think I’ll go for nr. One this time!) Still I can’t get those springy, razor sharp, steel teeth out of my head (not literally, don’t worry). Isn’t it better not to bend the saw but try and stick it next to the frame of my back-pack. I think it would fit nice and snug. Of course 71 cm is a bit off, but a shorter version might do fine. The only risk remains that I might slice my second most important piece of kit in half, when extracting it.
Did anyone ever try this (not the slicing, the stashing)?
