Sorry due to a rebranding this saw is no longer available. The rebrand is due to the major website hosting sites and payment process not liking our name. They think we are selling "weapons"🙄 I will be working on a new site for my other sharpening stuff but this saw will probably not return. To be honest its just too expensive to make. REAL carbon fiber (not fake Chinese stuff from Amazon) is expensive. So are the custom machined pieces that hold the blade. I constantly get people saying they can make them cheaper but then get sent pictures of their version and it involves duct tape and pvc. To make something that actually works and lasts is a different story. I am just not capable of scaling production to make them cheaper in order to meet demand. I may do a small run here or there for fun though.😊 Thanks for everyone who bought a one really appreciate it! QUICK DISCLAIMER ⬇️ Heres a video showing its true capabilities kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i82CjZqemt-qfKs.html This saw was designed for myself because I wanted a saw that actually worked, that was sub 4oz, that was capable of breaking down with no tools, or small parts to loose, and had readily available replacement blades off the shelf. Turns out some other people wanted them too. So we started selling them. It fits a very specific purpose. And for that purpose works very well, and will out cut much bigger saws. Anything can be done when you start adding weight (folding mechanisms, etc). But keeping it under 4oz while still providing all the other features is the tricky part. Especially since the blade accounts for half the weight! Combine this with the correct mora and you have a sub 8oz knife / saw combo😁 It is an ultra light piece of gear that does require some "skill" to use. Not unlike an ultralight dyneema tent, tarp, or an alcohol stove. I think if you have to ask "why?" then it may not be for you, and thats ok 👍 If you are a gram / oz counter then your in the right place 😉 The actual saw handle portion (the expensive part, not the blade) is covered by a lifetime warranty as long as we are in business. I am still using my original prototype with original blade that has cut CORDS of wood at this point! Thanks for taking the time to watch my video! It's always appreciated 🙏

That idea of using a tensioning cord to hold and tighten the blade in the handle is absolutely genius. It's such a simple and eloquent design.

I'm usually the person who says, "I can make that," but this time I ordered one. Great idea and concept.

I was going to make my own, buy you deserve the credit for the idea, so I just placed an order. Can’t wait to use it in a few weeks!

Great job! I’m excited to pick one up. That’s definitely going in my pack on our next trip.

I'm so glad I bought this saw when I did! Please bring it back for others. Possibly the best saw on the market

If you made the handle bigger and oval-shaped, it can act as a blade holder in your backpack. That way it isn't getting bent or stabbing your kidneys as you hike.

Mine came in the mail today! Unbelievable! Thank you so much Alex & Joshua -KentheDuffer LOVE IT!

Just put some rubber heat shrink around the last couple inches of your tensioning line and it'll basically last forever and adds like 2 grams of weight... Awesome little saw handle

Not only is that genius from a cost and durability standpoint, but you can attach all kinds of blades to it! Awesome

Absolutely the best backpacking saw I've seen.

I need one of these and discovered them after they’ve been discontinued. That’s just unfortunate. Sweet, simple design.

Love the idea and simple enough anyone can make their own.

Tenía años buscando algo así y es tan simple que es maravilloso. Muchas gracias.

That's an excellent idea. Rip saw blades are available everywhere and in wide varieties. You might look for a design where the blade folds into the handle.

Very nice! I use these blades everyday on the job site. Very durable!! Great idea!

Awesome idea! Thank you!

Wow! Just.......... wow! Perfect design!

This is awesome my friend! It's such a simple and functional design! Well done! Thanks for sharing! 😊🌎✨

Absolutely pure genius great job

As a construction worker and an outdoorsman... not only do I support this idea, I also can verify, those Diablo blades are wicked and do last a long time. I have wondered why those wood saws didn’t incorporate these types of blades. Great idea man. My suggestion fr covering the blade when carrying would be to carry a small piece of pipe with a cap on both ends that holds the blade and handle, maybe 1.5” pvc? Nice job man.

Bad ass man. Good work!

Looks like the next saw option I'm going to try. Thank you

This thing is an awesome idea, i have had a similar idea with the sheet rock saws were you can remove the blade. I have just ordered mine and i will review it for sure on my channel. Keep up the good work man.

Well done! That’s pretty ingenious

This is absolute GENIUS!

Just placed my order. This is brilliant design at its brightest. Well done.

Yes I was gonna do my own and probably curb the pipe or add some other mods but dude, it's your idea and you deserve credit, so I'm buying.

All you need is a small diameter piece of tube to carry it all! Or a wider handle with a split bushing to lock the saw blade in the ending, and a cap for the other end! Great idea!

Definitely a saw to have. Will be picking one up in the next couple of months! Would love to see some of those knives you make for sale, in your store!

Good stuff! Thanks

Excellent build Alex. Well thought out. I hope all is well brother.

I must confess that you've always made excellent videos. This is an absolute requirement for my bugout gear. Bravo

I am a HUGE fan of using reciprocating saw blades for backpacking and survival use. They are cheap, abundant and disposable (if you ever wear one out!) I prefer the Milwaukee 48-22-0305 Folding Jab Saw. I use an regular (non-carbide) pruning blade, and I used a Dremel tool to cut the blade short, so as to fold up. I love yours too!

Just ordered one! Unbelievable idea this saw is a game changer

That's about the coolest lightweight saw I've ever seen.

Great idea mate 👍👍👍. I want one.

Brilliant idea

Cool idea, not gonna buy one today but definitely put it in my- buy in the future wish list. And never heard of that string either so gonna Google that to

Hey Alex. Just found this by accident. I am a long time sub on your other channel. Didn't know about this. Looks like a fantastic product. All the best.

Completely makes sense I've made homemade versions of this many times. Oh if I would have thought ahead.

SUPER super... SUPER .. thanks from italy

Got my 12" saw today. Put it through some work. I made a stick out of olive wood and decided to add a ferro rod to one end since the saw blade can strike it.

Very innovative thinking to produce this handle. The concept is useful and shouldn't be abandoned because of technical production difficulties. The "ultralight" requirement for backpacking constrains the design. Slightly heavier tool handle options can be designed with lightweight and hollow configurations. The weight of extra steel blades is actually a serious limiting factor. 1 long sabre blade and several jigsaw blades are a more adaptable carry option.

Great application of cordage, toggle and Diablo.

Wow great job

Also as a woodworker carbide does wear from hard woods after about 1 year of constant every day full day use😂 good material

dude awesome.

Impressive. 👍🏼👍🏼

Great video and a pretty cool saw.

Awesome!!!!!

First impressions = Carbide teeth are a Huge benefit and the saw appears to cut super well . The tensioner device is interesting and the cordage could be replaced with wire . The handle is perfectly round , small diameter , with no blade to handle orientation . Friction tape could be used to increase the handle diameter and make it more comfortable for long term use . I like the performance of this saw very much and there is no doubt a polymer handle could be injection molded for it . I need to order one of these and see how it goes . Thanks for a very unique design with appears to have structural integrity . All the best from a mechanical engineer .

GREAT IDEA

I made my own handle using 1/2 copper straight tube . Works like a champ.

Diablo blades are my fav. Nice idea

Awsome video and great suggestions! You might consider diabo fleam ground high carbon steel. It should cut faster for a long time and might be worth the less effort and just replace when it becomes as hard to cut as the carbide tip.

Ohhh,,,, sadness that's the exact saw I have, looks like a fiskers. Now I've got goods reason to get a new one. Thanks Alex!! 👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸

Great design. I went for the ghetto home depot 3/4 aluminum tube version since I had dyneema and a perfectly sized stainless steel ring lying around. Totally worth the cost if you don't have the parts lying around.

Pretty kool!🔥👍🔥

Brilliant! (Wish I thought of it.)

Pur genius!!!! I gotta have one !!!!!

Brilliant

Vise grips and a sawzall blade is what iv been using for years camping and some times to cut drywall or small trim at work

awesome.

awesome!

Mine just got here today crazy cutting power insanely light and just looks B. A. had bahco Laplander I can't even compare will use all summer and give an update.

Great video explaining and demonstrating your product. I get a kick out of what the “haters” have to say in the comments. I can imagine what they would say to the folks who brought us, “The Pet Rock,” The Couch Potato Doll,” or for that matter, bottle water. Yup, they didn’t listen to the naysayers and I hope you don’t either. Bottom line, if people like your product and feel the price is worth it, they’ll buy it. Wishing you much success!

A locking pin is what they use in the reciprocating saws, you could drill a hole and use a small bolt

Those Diablo pruners are something special !

Thanks

Is it a T shank blade? Amazing idea! I can see how a hunter or fisherman can use this to make an emergency shelter.

This is great, I can also see applications for field butchering of large game.

Dude..you are a genius..now, where do I buy one and extra string 🤔 ? Bush craft and back packers are gonna love this....Thanks Man

I use those blade all the time in my sawzall, they are awesome and last almost forever lol this is a genius idea 👍

Great saw, love mine! But recently lost the cover...what was that?

Okay I'll give the blade a go but I think that I'll use my Stanley 15-333 saw handle

I have no use for this but I watched it the whole way through. Very cool and I love the DIY nature of this thing.

Sawsome!

Wonder if a chain masterlink would work to attach the blade

Geinous. Very radical idea and will put Silky out of business

Those blades in my ridgid octane with orbital on blasts thru wood. Never thought of using the blade for a backpacking saw

Most (all?) backpacking saws that I have seen have had no "set" in the teeth. It's about time! :D

Comparison to some similarly-sized silky? the weight will be a big up-side with this saw, but strength and ease of use may be worth comparing

Awe.. Sticccccckkkkk!

An old bicycle innertube can function as a sheath. A guy put up a KZfaq video 10 months ago detailing how he made essentially the same thing as your saw using titanium tubing. He didn't say that it was his own idea, but didn't say that it wasn't. I'm betting on the latter. I saw this video last spring and brought a Diablo blade with the teeth on butt end of the blade ground down enough to not cut through the bicycle innertube that I wrapped it with to function as a grip. I used bike innertube

At first I thought it was ridiculous but if the handle was wide enough and long enough that the blade fit inside, this could be practical. Then spinning of the wood to tension the string was pretty cool.

Very useful, even better if it could hold hacksaw blades and jigsaw blades. Back of sabre saw blade could be a knife edge for double duty.Some Paracord materials do not stretch.

Throw is a second tube as an optional extention and thatd be awesome

Just off the start, I would use a Bic Lighter for the tensioning 'stick' and the handle looks a little narrow. Might be more difficult to hold if someone has big hands.

Love this product. Great idea. On a side note, What backpack is that?

I’m getting one. I make mini Swedish stoves to cook with all the time. This will shorten the time and work to make one.

Thank you for this presentation. Why you choose this blade? Did you compared to other carbide teeth blades?

Great saw. To order and shipping to South Africa?

Genius

I like it but to make it look more finished I'd give the option to get with a small metal rod so u don't need a stick and have it be able to hook on the side when took apart

Hey what is the metal clip called you used to attach the rope to the saw blade ?

nice saw! do you offer a military discount?

For a few onces you could get the handle made for the blade at the store you bought the blade from but good idea

It'd be great to see a version of this in a folding configuration.

Whoa I didn't even know this channel existed
