Good morning Bob – Great to see a saw reviewed. I'm going to suggest that Jamie make saws, axes, and similar gear a BP topic. As did you I learned their value when doing trail maintenance and find them handy especially when camping where fires are allowed. Very useful around the house too.

Is it of relatively new manufacture? ### Fresh aspen, however, cuts like butter when fewer than 10 strokes makes short work ### EDIT: make short work
