LOL, and then there's having "Bear Grylls" on anything laugh

I have seen the saw though, looks usable enough.

What I've found with many of these hand saws is they tend to get a bit "wobbly" where the blade connects to the handle, and often times the blade is too long for its thickness and temper, as well as it's handle/blade connection strength, making it prone to bending, breaking, etc. The Sierra is the poster child for these negative traits.

The Opinel is about the exact opposite. Blade not too long/bendable, and a super-positive blade/handle junction.
