OPINEL SAW - amzn.to/3wBIaqy VOILE STRAP - amzn.to/3yQ1jG (amazon affiliate links)

I've pushed the Harbor Freight saw, because of it's cost, but I didn't realize, that it's performance was so bad, next to the two others. I wonder, if there's a practical way to sharpen or otherwise alter the blade for acceptable performance?

@ripvanrevs 2 года назад

I volunteer a few weeks a year doing trail maintenance and my folding saw broke. Bought one from menards and it didn't last two days before falling apart. Lowes only had a very large saw so I checked Harbor Freight and bought one of these. Didn't have time to order one off the internet. I've used it for 8 or 10 days on the trail and it worked great. It is pretty heavy duty and the blade is stronger than others I have used. Of course the silky is going to cut much faster on bigger stuff but I could go through branches up to 4" with a little work. If you are in a pinch and need a folding saw, I would definitely recommend the Harbor Freight saw.

@darkhelmetsplane 2 года назад

@@ripvanrevs Thanks! Now I don't feel like such a sucker. Dejected, I just threw it behind the seat in my truck. The saw actually looks pretty nice though. I did all of Wranglerstar's mods and the locking mechanism works very well. The handle is solid plastic, not hollow like I thought it would be. Also, I recently discovered that it's identical to the Fiskars 7" folding saw which is double the price... so perhaps it's not such a bad little saw after all.

@davidmuth4571 2 года назад

Stanley makes an excellent folding saw that uses reciprocating saw blades. I got mine in the late 90's and has gotten a lot of use. Mine is day-glo green, the current ones are black.

@john_la_chapelle 3 года назад

Great video as always Cody! Just a heads up on the firestarter: the black rod on top isn't the magnesium, but rather the ferrocerium rod we all love for starting fires. The silver block is the magnesium, and the way it is intended to be used is by carefully shaving/scraping a pile of magnesium, and then sparking the pile with the ferro rod to have a hot burning fire starter, rain or shine.

@chrisloehr6641 3 года назад

I think you missed an obvious option for the saw in the Bacho Laplander at about $25. It was once the gold standard in bushcraft saws, before Silki got popular. I still carry mine and it's never let me down. I think the Corona saws are good too, and inexpensive, as are the Gerber/ Fiskars saws. Odd that you chose 2 of the most expensive compact saws to test for your budget kit. No surprise that the Harbor Freight saw failed. I suppose it's not too difficult to make a decent budget striking tool like an axe, but there's a lot of engineering in a good saw and that doesn't come cheap.

I am a member of a bushcraft forum and one of the members wanted to know which saw to use to cut branches to fit inside of his twig stove. One half of the members that answered said that they used their swiss army knife saw. That makes good sense as the knife also does other things, and a twig stove does not need large diameter wood.

@user-me3nt6oo3w Час назад

When I looked recently the Optinel was $40 and the Harbor Freight one was $7 so the Opinel is not a little bit more. I did not look up the silky.' Also, from what I have read is that Corona saws are 2nd best to the Silkeys and about the cost of the Opinels. Also, the Harbor Freight saw is a pruning saw. OK pruning is also cutting wood but 95 percent of the pruning I have done has been on living parts of the tree. The living part is much easier to saw than the hard dried part. If you are just going to cut an occasional limb off the Harbor Fright one will do the job. If you have a lot of cutting and especially if it is dried the Silky saw is best and other saws like the Opinel will be in between those in price and function. Knives

@christophergrove4876 2 года назад

That style of fire starter is a combination of a ferro rod and a magnesium block. The magnesium is not just a handle or base for the ferro rod but is a source of extra hot tinder. You make fine shavings of the magnesium on a less volatile tinder and then you spark it with the ferro/ferrocerium rod to ignite it. So, although the ferro rod usually does have some magnesium in it it is not the magnesium block that you strike.

The Harbor Freight one looks almost identical to an ACE store one I bought on the fly for a survival course in Sitka, AK years ago. Didn’t think it would last much past the course but 9 years later and it’s still in my kit. Definitely cuts better than the one in this demo though.

You should do another build series like you did the poor man’s tool chest with all the carpenter tools and then do a giveaway, maybe something like a fire control kit or forestry kit that you could put together for an entry-level price but still keep it serviceable

"ozark trail" has a decent pocket saw. i've found thinner blades seem to be much slower, with the only exception being carbide sawzall blades made for thick wood- they cut really nicely and can be made into a pocket saw with a piece of pipe and some paracord.

The Silky adjusts rearward to use to cut below your position when you are unable to move.

WOW! Great story about the small Hemlock cones:) I never knew about the Opinel saw, I do have a couple of there knives though. Also, I've never tried out the Silky saw, but need to. I bought a $10 folding saw from Walmart and it's held up pretty good so far, definitely a lot better than that Harbor Freight one. I guess they put their money in the axe:) I love that axe and filed and treated it with Linseed oil just as you showed. Thanks for that...

The Gerber Sliding saw for $13 has been a really good saw for me for nipping small branches, definitely worth a look for the budget kit.

Beware most (all) Silky saws require a blood sacrifice once purchased. I’d still go with the Silky. That 2nd lock back position is to cut flat like you were without destroying your knuckles.

I use hand saws daily as a professional arborist. All those saws are so small I can't imagine trying to work with them. My smallest saw for fine pruning has a 330mm blade. I also have a 360 and a 390.

I've been carrying Opinel knives off and on for over 30 years. The only thing bad about them is moisture. I took an unexpected swim on a hunting trip back in '88 with the knife in my pocket. After walking back to camp, I pulled the knife out and could not open it! The wood had swelled so much that the pressure on the blade prevented it from opening. The next day it was fine, but had I really needed it then, I would have been out if luck!
