The Bahco 396-LAP Laplander Folding Saw is another great option for camping saws.

It is exceptional for cutting both wood, bone and plastic. The handle is good in that it is made of plastic and provides an overall perfect grip with a leather strap that can be used to hang the folding saw by your side.

The blade is made for XT hardpoint teething with a teeth per inch ratio of 7. It has a great safety lock that provides the additional safety mechanism of locking it fully in place when it is folded.

When comparing this with other popular camping saw types such as the silky boy, you will find that the Laplander’s handle is slightly longer.

Interestingly the handle is curved as opposed to being contoured. This adds a dimension of handling and ergonomics.

It is a bit more difficult to cut that the Silky for example, you will need to apply more force when performing your cuts and this can be a bit of a hassle in the camping environment.

With that being said, if you intend on using the Laplander for pruning cutting of softwood type trees such as pine, redwood or oak, it can definitely work like magic, however if you are looking for fast and efficient cutting you are better off going with the Silky Folding Saw option.

The Bahco 10-24-23 Bow Saw with Ergo Handle, 24-Inch is a fantastic Bow Saw, it comes ergonomically designed with a frame that has been developed in accordance with ERGO™ process.

The steel is coated with high-impact enamel paint which is great for protection. It is better and stronger overall than many of it’s counterparts and it cuts very smoothly for a bow type saw.

What I really liked about this saw is that the safety cover is quite easily to put it back on the blade. The flanged side of the safety cover very easily folds back making the covering simple and effortless.

It is not intuitive and this can probably be improved however after a couple of tries you should be able to figure it out.

One thing that really sets this bow saw apart is that it has great user manual information, and after sale support in the form of customer service and call centres.

If you want a fantastic bow type camping saw then you will definitely not go wrong with the Bahco 10-24-23 Bow Saw.

It is a really light weight tool overall and it has been designed with an ergonomic handle to make the process of cutting easier and efficient.

The Bow Saw comes fully equipped with a 24 inch blade that can easily work and cut through different materials such as wood branches, plastic and large logs of timber.

One thing that I really did not like about this saw is that there are times when it is not sturdy enough and the safety guard can snap back and forth throughout, making it more dangerous to operate, especially if you are not very experienced using this power tool.

With that being said, it is an overall good quality saw and it really cuts well.

If you are in the market for one of the best camping saws of the bow saw type, then this option can and will definitely be worth your while.

Option #6: Corona RS 7265D RazorTOOTH Folding Pruning Saw

More Info

For any camping enthusiast you cannot go wrong with the Corona RS 7265D RazorTooth Folding saw.

It is designed for trimming branches and cutting through thicker pieces of wood. This is evident in it’s 3 sided razor teeth making the 10’’ blade ideal for cutting through branches that have 5’’ to 6’’ diameter.

It has a very ergonomically designed latch that ensures and prevents any injuries from occurring when not it use.

One thing I must say that could be improved about this camping saw overall is that the sharp teeth do not completely reside into the handle when it closes.

There is a gap that is not covered. So you will need to get some kind of blade cover to mitigate this effect.

However, with that being said – it is a great camping saw for men and women alike and the handle is all weather making it easy to use even in damp or rainy conditions.

If you are after an all round camping saw that is designed ergonomically and reasonably priced, then you will definitely find yourself a winner with the Corona RS 7265D RazorTooth Folding saw.

Option #7: Mossy Oak 3 in 1 Folding Hand Saw

More Info

The Mossy Oak 3 in 1 Folding Hand Saw is one of the best folding saw types on the market. It easily cuts through a multitude of different materials such as your wood, bone and even plastics.

The 3 types of blades are interchangeable and make this camping saw extremely versatile. Here is a quick summary of the blades below:

• Wood blade – 5 TPI, 7.5 inches
• Plastic blade – 11 TPI, 8 inches
• Metal blade – 18 TPI, 7.5 inches

One things I must say I did not like about this camping saw is that the fold lock release is right where your thumb will typically lie. This often causes problems when trying to get leverage because as soon as you apply more pressure your thumb can trigger the fold release and the blade collapses.

So if you want to go for this options be sure to note that.

With all the above being said for the price you will be paying this is an incredible tool to consider without a doubt. It is still in my opinion one of the most value for money camping saws on the market.
