I was taught when limbing a tree to stand on the opposite side of the trunk. I have a Silky Super Accel Z1. It works for me. Never tried it in super cold weather. I have seen numerous comparisons between Sily and Bahco, but don't recall anyone testing them in real cold weather. Most people get in trouble with Silky because they want to push them. Like most Japanese tools, they are meant to be pulled. I have not had a chance to try a Bahco; hoping one of their advocates will mail me a free one. I don't care which one people use, just glad choices exist.
Laplander is the goat. I have fixed tent stakes for GP mediums, cut down small trees for EA dev, and of course cut firewood and downed trees. With one of these, a medium sized fixed blade, and an e-tool you can pretty much do anything. I use an older condor UMP mag pouch to house mine. Perfect fit.
Had this for about 3 years now and have really liked it, mainly used around the house for pruning etc but i have abused it and its well worth the purchase.
I have owned and used a couple of these for years. I tried a silky but it got in a bind once and the blade snapped. You would break the blade on this saw. You won’t be building a log cabin with it but it is great for firewood and camp chores

Can’t remember where I first saw it (!), but these saws fit great in a USGI Molle Pop Flare pouch.
Thank you been looking for a good saw for this winter!
Well done Ivan, I'm in the market for a folding saw, was thinking silkie, but will be going with this instead! 👍🏼
Would love to see a comparison of one of the silky outdoor oriented saw vs the bahco
Was there meant to be a link to the saw?
There will be when it is live : amzn.to/3xBvWED
I can almost hear the Silky advocates loosing their mind!!!
Get a sven saw instead. Trust me, you won’t look back.
