I purchased this Boreal 21in folding bow saw to clear the trails I ride with my dirt bike and it is now my favorite tool out on the trail. at first I thought of getting a chain saw and mounting it on my bike like I have seen guys do on social media. while it may seem more epic and manly that seemed like overkill for 90% of the stuff I run into. also I didn't like the idea of having all that extra weight on the front of my bike and messing with the handling of the bike. the only other options I could think of were these smaller folding saws. I have a 10 in one and it works well on branches but anything over 6 in took forever to cut. There not as efficient because your wrist has to be at a 45 degree angle witch can lead to fatigue. So finally after some time researching I saw a guy on YouTube pull out one of these style of folding saws and then I knew this was what I was looking for, something that is light enough to take on any ride and has the ability to do some serious cutting! I ended up getting this one because of the amount of reviews this one had and I am glad I did! this thing feels solid and dose what I need it to do. it is the perfect size and fits on my pack nicely. overall it is a quality feeling tool and worth the money. would buy again in a heart beat.

Impressive! Watched a professional use it during a Bushcraft course, and figured there's a reason he uses it. Know I know why. Cuts like a champ, perfect angle for the handle that works for me, and folds up fast and thin for easy carrying. Ya, new-found favorite.😁 Read more
Oh I love this saw!! It has stayed sharp for a couple camping trips and random use around the house. So easy and safe to use. Solid, sturdy feel makes it easy to rip through limbs without fear of slipping. Read more

Well made! Easy and light to pack. Read more
I purchased this saw from amazon back in 2019. I use it for both camping and backpacking. This is a very sturdy saw, easy to deploy, easy to fold up and easy to pack. The blade cuts very aggressively and I can't say enough about it. After 3 years of heavy use it's still holding up great. Blade replacement was easy as well. I'm writing this review now because of a recent interaction with Agawa customer service. I was packing for a trip and I happened to notice one of the screws on the handle of the saw was missing. I went to their website and saw they had several of the small parts available for sale but not the screws. It's sort of an odd shape so I thought it might be tricky finding a replacement at the hardware store. So I emailed the customer service address on the website asking if I could purchase a replacement. Within a matter of a couple hours, I received a response with a tracking number indicating replacement screws were on the way. No charge for the screws, no charge for the shipping, no questions asked. This is a GREAT company! If you're looking for a folding bow saw, stop looking. You now only have to worry about which size Agawa Boreal saw you want! Read more
Pros: 1) The saw folds down in a creative space saving way that keeps blade hidden and items protected from getting cut; 2) The saw folds/unfolds in an easy manner and locks in place; 3) The saw cuts very well Cons: 1) The saw's weakest point is at the hinges where the saw blade is held. It seems very flimsy when folding and unfolding to the point that if you aren't careful you might break the blade of the saw at this point; 2) The saw blade bends more than it should when cutting. Maybe there is no saw with as long of a blade that doesn't flex when under stress. There is no way to adjust the tension. Bottom line: I would buy it again. It is a great saw. It is not lightweight, but worth hauling if you area on a multiple day backpacking trip where cutting wood for heat. I recently used it for this purpose and cut wood that was around 4-6 in diameter with it. There is no way I would have been able to cut what I cut with a small folding limb saw in the same amount of time and with the same amount of effort. Read more
SIHT This is an awesome saw, and worth the money. I bought a couple extra blades and took it out last weekend to clear some brush for a campsite. It goes through dry or green wood like butter. Seems lime it will hold up well, if not I will update. Can not recommend enough. Read more
