The Bacco Laplander a long time bushcrafter favorite. It has relatively small teeth and a thick kerf which makes it less than ideal for processing firewood, but still gets the work done quickly. The Laplander's sleek design and lightweight construction make it a great carry saw. At about $20, it is a good priced option for finer wood processing tasks and pruning.
The Silky Ultra Accel was built for rugged continual use by loggers looking to clear limbs quickly while suspended from trees. Its aggressive teeth, curved shape, and longer thinner blade hog out material to get jobs done two to three times faster than then Laplander mentioned above. The Ultra Accel fits comfortably in larger pockets but is suited best in a back pack or car door ready for easy access. It is the most expensive option at about $60.
The 8in bladed Corona Folding Saw is available in just about every big box home improvement store and combines features of the Bacco Laplander and Silky Ultra Accel for a best of both worlds scenario. Its durable lightweight construction makes carry easy, and long thin kerf blade with aggressive teeth gets cutting done efficiently. At less than $20, the Corona Saw is the best value in the line up. We like these saw so much, we choose to outfit our camp with them. I do like to add a drop of LockTight to the primary nut holding the blade to the handle to ensure durability as they tend to back off over time.
