7 – 8 Inches in Length
The folding saws discussed here all have between 7-8 inches of blade so you can cut wood effectively without tiring yourself out too easily. With this certain length of blade, you should be able to cut through logs in no time at all.
Ergonomic Handle
Having a comfortable handle is essential. If the handle is too square with hard jagged edges it will make for cutting an absolute chore!
You want to have a handle that fits into the groove of the hand and can be used for long periods of time whether your cutting firewood, clearing or setting up camp.
Locked in Blade Feature
This is just simply for safety!
The last thing you want is to reach into your backpack only to cut the hand of yourself. A good, quality made folding saw will have a locked in feature that works both ways – not only for closing but when cutting.
A folding saw that collapses or snaps is surely ready to cause injury.
The saws discussed here though will make sure you remain safe when cutting whilst out camping.
Small in size to fit into your camping backpack
Lastly, you want to make sure that the saw you choose is easily transportable and easy to carry.
The folding saws mentioned here will have a full length no bigger than 17-18 inches but only have the size when folded down.
I think it is an essential item to have added to your camping gear. They always come in handy.
