Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Backpack Hunting Lightweight saws

I tend carry a saw with me even often backpacking outside of hunting season. Almost always on longer day hikes. A saw just makes life a lot easier when processing wood (or if an emergency shelter is needed). After trying numerous saws, all of my saws are now Silky- they simply cut better- I have small ones up to a really large one that resides in my pickup in lieu of lugging around a chain saw.

I recently met a gentleman who was very handy with a 3D printer and came up with a really lightweight solution, but still allows the use of Silky blades (I carry both a coarse and fine when hunting, if I want ribs out or need to skull cap something- put the fine blade on).

I've had it out on a couple of winter trips and while not as robust as the all metal original, it still cuts great and seems pretty sturdy
