In high school I worked summers for a tree service and used both types daily. The other advantage of a bow saw (besides blade length) is leverage and hand position. With a hook saw your hand is aligned close to the blade and your wrist is straight. With a bow saw your hand is up above the blade so you can push down, and your wrist is cocked back so you can get more into each push.

There won't be an 18" saw in my pack....ymmv

I only have one use for a pack saw and that's cutting out the scull plate

At camp or home it's AC or DC

Yes the Wyoming Saw will clear 16" guards as you put it. Even the short saw if you pick your cut right. It will also match your time pretty well. Although I'm not sure why speed is a deciding factor. I work next to Wyoming Knife Company. Every saw I've got from them came with metal, wood, and bone blades. Don't pack them all except the bone. Weight is negligible imho

I'll let them know they need to be faster and lighter though....

Mine either. But since I can't haul a whole bull out in one trip, leaving it in the truck works just fine.

Faster....no

Lighter....yes

I'm going to make a lighter Wyoming saw this year by putting the frame and handle on a Bridgport diet

Sounds interesting, I'll volunteer to field test it.

18" stays in camp my 14" which is no longer made stays in my pack and weighs 15 oz's, and I'll say it again it cuts way better than the saw in your review .........and I don't have to worry about the blade lock failing...... but you only need to make yourself happy!

True....I am very happy....and I have no use for any saw with a tag in my pocket....zero

And I will add....I'll loose no sleep over your favorite saws or the two free ones I was given by Sportsmans Industries to test.

Have a nice day

OK, drop one off at the house here. If you could make an aluminum frame and handle for it, that'd be awesome.

Bright colors are good, for MANY pieces of hunting gear. Try finding a camo saw, knife, or compass in a pile of dry leaves.

So true!!

I've even painted hammers, saws and most of my tools through the years blaze orange so I can spot them on the ground at the job site

Tent stakes get painted too

No one expected you to loose any sleep over a saw, just thought you might actually be looking for more quality...........
