I picked up one on Amazon for around $25 and it's worked flawlessly

Curious if the 130 blades will work in the 170.
Use 170 for wood and carry a 130 fine for animals?

 

[mtwarden]

good question- I would think yes, but not 100% sure- I don't have the 170 any longer; Jan might have both- worth asking

I will say the blades on both are very light, obviously a little lighter on the 130, but I don't think a lot

I thought I’ve seen options that are just a blade with two small handles that can roll up and pack small. Is that real, real crappy, or did I just imagine it?

Has anyone had any experience with one of these? If just cutting a few bits of wood and maybe a skull cap, would it be a decent fit? Uses standard recip saw blades.

Meet the worlds lightest backpacking saw. We've pushed the boundaries on what's physically possible by engineering our saw from advanced Carbon Fiber technology that nearly allows this baby to defy gravity. Weighing in at a barely noticeable 3.95oz*, and taking up an extremely small footprint...

Silky folding is the way to go.

I wouldn't want to use any reciprocating saw blades I have ever seen. The blade geometry is different.

Yeah the regular metal sawzall blades should work for bone but most of them have paint on them so i would avoid cutting anything near my meat i wanna eat personally. The wood cutting blades would be terrible to cut with by hand i imagine

I didn't see it mentioned, I use a Fanno saw. I like that it has an actual saw handle. I also have animals to carry it for me.

I see a lot of Silky recommendations and they're great, but I've enjoyed my Hooyman Megabite Compact.

I carry the 6" model everywhere I go and it comes in at roughly 4oz (.25lb). It's a little tank.

I’ve used bahco Laplander, silky and Sven saws. All have done a great job
