My dad once let me cut a log with a hacksaw when I was like 8-9. Kept telling me just push harder lol. He'd already they day before explained the difference in saw blades. He let me destroy a $5 saw blade to prove a point. Later that summer I learned how to safely use a smaller 24" stihl. And how to sharpen bits. Lots of work for a little kid making firewood for the winter.
While other channels are putting out fantasy pie-in-the-sky videos, Dave is STILL producing real world content that's practical, that the common man can actually benefit from. This is why Pathfinder is the innovator while others are just poor imitators. PF4Life
DAVE.. much respect sir, and I agree with you on just about everything.. however my opinion the Corona saw should be on your table. I have used them for decades, and they will absolutely out cut a Laplander or silky and they are typically $20-25ish.. they are the saw of choice for power line workers, will strike a ferro rod well, and a great budget saw for sure.. love this video..!!!
Thank you for getting this information out to a new generation of bushcrafters. I learned about the green wood vs dry wood blades over 20 years ago from Cliff Jacobson. I have noticed that most people venturing into bushcraft do not have this knowledge. I appreciate you bringing this old knowledge to the newer people that follow you.
Thanks for he video. Your " _waste of money_ " comment I find to be false. I have 3 folding saws I bought at Lowe's called " Corona " .
I have two by Fiskars. Two Silky saws and two Bahco Laplanders. The fastest cutting saw of all of these has been the Corona. At $23 it is a bargain . . . not a " _waste of money_ ". I still have my very first Corona, though admittedly it is a bit dull at this point. My Bahco Laplander was $40. I have bent the blade, but like you, have successfully hammered the blade flat again and still keep that one in the box of my 4 wheeler. My silky saw was over $60 after shipping. It is slower cutting than the Corona at 3 times the price.
I suppose everyone must form their own opinion I have yet used a Corona I really liked and I have seen several other brands broken at the school
I'm a retired Carpenter and started using Japanese shark tooth pull saws about 45 years ago.. I have a few silky and Boreal saws but my favorite saw is like a folding silky but it takes reciprocating Sawzall blades. They come in all different sizes, tooth patterns for different materials, so with one saw I can cut metal, ceramic plastic processed or natural wood
I swear, each of your videos feels like a Master Class. I keep a notebook just for watching your content. Please never stop what you do, sir.
Dave, you are an American treasure.
I have a Sven Saw, about 35-40 years old. Great, compact saw for backpacking and cutting wood for fires, definitely not for a major logging operation. Correct tool for the job is always a good choice.
Maybe the most knowledgeable dude on survival. Everything was clear and concise. Absolutely excellent block of information. Thank you for the knowledge.
I like my Fiskars folding saw, it so far has done a good job for me. Would like to have a good buck saw though
Thank you for addressing this subject. With saws replacing axes, machetes, and other "choppers" as the preferred tools for processing wood in bushcraft, we need as much informed and detailed knowledge as we can get in order to make the right choice, and it frequently isn't out there. But we still need videos like this on all sorts of "mundane" equipment, like saws, pots, shovels, and so on.
I made a few bucksaws in my shop and ordered the coarse saw blade from Amazon for cutting green wood(fresh wood,not dry wood)I made the grips longer so I could cut a larger tree.Only thing was the grip was square not rounded making my hands grow tired.Plus I have the Bone Valley buck saw which I ordered two blades a fine tooth,and a coarse saw blade.Thanks for the video,Dave,it was helpful.
I ended up buying the Agawa canyon, just because of the way old Joe Robinet throws his around and abuses it. They are pretty tough,,,
Perfect serendipity. I was looking and watching videos about this very topic the past two days when you suddenly come out with this video which just solved everything!
Please do the same about axes.
Axes are a surprisingly broad topic.
Finally a clear explanation of saw blade differences. Thanks Dave!
Great discussion. Very informative
Well explained, Dave. Thank you!
Great video..Thanks for sharing
Thanks Dave great info ❤ everything you do have a good day
Great in depth review Dave. Thanks for the detailed video!
Excellent Video and Explanation ! Best time of year for this discussion.
Man that’s got to be one of the best saw explanation videos!
Great teacher!
I like the Agawa buck saw its perfect
That was a great video Dave. I appreciate the longer discussions and videos. I realize they take a great deal of planning and setup.
Incredible amount of useful information. Thank you.
Excellent vid.
Excellent information .. we thank you for all you do for us!
Thankyou Dave, well explained and understood.
Thanks Dave!
Good overview, Dave. Very informative.
This is EXCELLENT Dave! I've been wanting to learn this.
Great video buddy. Great info. Thanks
Excellent tutorial!
Great explanation in detail. Very educational. Thanks so much. I love your channel.
Outstanding information
Can't beat a good saw & hatch.
Didn't know about the saw blade teeth. Thank you. Well done.
Great class on what saw to use in any situation. Cheers mate.,
Great information, the older i get, i tend to forget this stuff, thanks for the refresher
I ALWAYS learn a LOT from D. Canterbury. 👍👍👍
I have three silky saws from the gomeboy 240mm the 330 mm Zubat and my beast the katanaboy 650. The best saws I’ve ever used they definitely beat out my buck saw, bahco Laplander and my least favorite the Sven saw though silky can get pricey as the gomeboy goes for about $55 the zubat 330 mm goes for around $95 and my baby the katanaboy 650 goes for $330 but for a prepper their great for making cuts in the woods making log cabins clearing trails etc etc with no gas needed I also got replacement blades for all 3 silky saws. Can’t say enough good things about silky saws quality great cutting speed tons of options to fit anyone’s needs plus SK-4 steel used on these saws was a great option it keeps an edge for a long time but still a steel that can be sharpened fairly easy and are comfortable in the hand while sawing. SILKY FOR LIFE.
Love this type info video.
Great information Dave! I really appreciated the demonstration of the saws and explanation of the blades! Thanks!
Excellent training! I learned so much more than I thought there was to know about saw blades. Many thanks!
Nice run down, thanx.
great explanation, quite interesting I had no idea about being different types of blades for different woods
Great video and tips...freedom for all people...
Never fail to learn something from your videos Dave!! Thanks for clearing this subject up for me, learned a lot. Looking forward to your next video drop.
Great video thanks!
First rate presentation. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and time Dave.
Good, informative video.
D. Canterbury, requesting your opinion. I use 3 different saws depending on the task. No. 1) My favorite Saw is the Fiskars 18-inch D-Handles Pruning Saw. It cuts on the push & pull. I have cut up to 14-inch diameter tree trunks in a relatively short-period-of-time and not expending a bearing amount of energy. No. 2) My next favorite is the Corona Tool 10-inch Razor Tooth Folding Saw. It cuts on the pull only, but it cuts fast. I've also cut up 12-to-14-inch diameter tree trunks with a bit more effort than the Fiskars 18-inch D-Handles Pruning Saw. No. 3) Gerber Sliding Saw. I use it as a backup to which ever saw I take. It works very well. Because of these 3 saws, I've been hesitant to purchase the Bahco Laplander, Agawa-Boreal 15, 21, 24 inches, or a Silky Saw. What are your thoughts/opinion/advise? Thanks
I love these informative videos. This was so helpful. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks for all you do Sir! I’ve enjoyed learning from your videos for years now. Keep up the work for future generations!
I love the wood traditional style. Thats what I will buy. For a folder, it would be the Gomboy as it has different blades that can be used.
Good info. thanks for the comparisons on saws, and blades. Price points were helpful as well
I have several Silky saws and the Agawa bow saw, but I keep going back to my Kanzawa Samurai. I have used it faithfully for 10 years or more and it has never failed me. Great video, Dave.
Absolutely fantastic discussion on saws. This helped me tremendously understand the differences of saws and what to consider when I go to buy my saw. Thanks as always Dave!
Now this is the most comprehensive explanation of saws and blades I have ever seen. Well done Dave.
Thanks Guys
Vos explications techniques sont toujours un régal ! Merci beaucoup...
Nothing i didnt know but you still made it interesting enough that i watched from start to finish good job 👍
Just looked at my new Agawa saw - now I understand! (It has a green wood blade) Thank you, Dave!
I went with the Wyoming Saw II.
Dave is the King
I had no idea about the difference between drywood and greenwood saw blades and what the gullet and raker is! Super cool knowledge! Thank you Dave!
As ever Dave, excellent education. Some day I hope to learn from your school on a vacation to USA 🇺🇸
4:00 I would like a folding saw with 2 or 3 saw blades, where I can simply fold out the saw blade that I need.
Thank you for showing the difference in the blades and why they work, I never knew that and I'm so glad I found this segment on saw blades, thanks again.
Great video!
Dziękuję za super materiał -:)
Thank you sir , those are the kind of thing I really wanted to know , I like that you're apt to teach valuable skills and how to apply them .
I love those spring creek saws. I have the big one and the 21 inch model ( or 24 I can't remember) the big one lives in the truck alot of the time and the smaller goes in a axe sleeve with my council tool boys axe. Amazing combo
Although you didn't call it by name, I'm surprised that you think a Corona is a waste of money. I'd be curious to know why, specifically. Thanks
Good information Right Blade for the Right Job, Understand Thanks.
I love my Boreal15 pathfinder edition, take it all the time camping 👌🏻👌🏻
Definitely not what I want to hear about breaking a silky saw, especially when I spend 300$ on one. I really appreciate the video, they are always 100% informative. Thank you Dave
As always, a great video. IMO your discussions, are always educational. Especially for those that Think.. they know but maybe don’t have a deeper undersunderstanding of a subject. This video in particular is a master class on how to educate. Well done!
Out freaking standing , Dave. I'm not a super bush crafty guy, but I do hunt and fish and camp . I tune in to you every now and then. been buying and restoring vintage garden and building tools (and durable clothing) for the new heavily wooded parcel I just bought. I got two decent bow saws that were like 2 bucks apiece at a flea market. They have the green/pine blades , which is what I'll probably need, tons of cedars on the property. Oh man that titanium one is awesome. Good to know I'll need a special "bone blade" to make zombies into fertilizer. Onward.
I've had really good luck with the Fiskars folding saws
Great video
Nice to see saw options made in the USA. Price is OK, too. Thanks, Dave.
Love your videos. You are part of of the reason I quit watching tv. You tube is all I watch anymore. I get to pick what I want to watch and learn. So keep up the great videos. And I’m still supporting you.
Another great video. When I was driving as a flat bedder, I routinely had to cut dunnage, which is always a hard wood. I carried a smaller typical 18" Irwin aggressive hand saw. It was short, light durable, and very effective. I made a sheath for it, and carried in my pack. No fuss, just pull out and use it. It is still my go to. I do have numerous other saws, silky, bow, etc. Day use I'll use a silky, serious work it is the hand saw. The down side is I'm stuck to one blade profile, and it has to be resharpened by hand. Thanks for sharing the great information.
Back in the day Gerber had a really good folding saw 15 years ago I came with two blades a Greenwood/ bone saw and a wood saw. I loved it! Apparently somebody loved it more than me and it was stolen from me by one of my roommates years ago didn't know till it was backpacking time again and certain times I showed him happen to be gone.
Very good indepth video covering the topic. Personally i carry a silky with a fine tooth for hardwood in Australia with a spare blade.
Outstanding information. Me coming from the mountains of Pennsylvania, I am very familiar with these type saws and blades and what they are capable of.👍👍👍🇺🇸🙏🏽✌🏻😎
I'm just completing the first month of my states master gardening program. Although I'm fully aware that the world is in a dire situation, I'm choosing to concentrate on improving on a very valuable skill. Although I many years' experience with vegetable gardening the course is giving me the information that I need for a healthier and more productive vegetable garden.
Ive made many fires with a Sven saw on my canoe trips over 40 years. It folds up nicely and is strong.
I have been using a 7” folding Stihl saw for 12 years or so and they have been wonderful little saw. I keep one in the truck, one in the four wheeler and one in my pack. With a little time and skill that saw will punch way above its weight.
Got a harbor freight bow saw more than 15 years ago. Still with me today and man it can cut wood.
Have you ever considered hand drywall saws like Milwaukee or Lennox?
You can swap out blades ruff to fine teeth pattern to cut threw metal or wood, and while they are far cheaper than a Silky they're made to perform in a heavy duty environment ..plus they fold up like a Silky
Just a thought.
I have silky big boy and absolutely love it. I wouldn't consider anything smaller...
T Y for explaining theory of saws, especially blades for dry wood vs. those for green. I have used various bow saws quite a bit in Yukon, often for cutting & harvesting either dead or green black spruce. Given a choice of ONE overall kind of blade, I had better luck all-around using the cross-cut looking blades. The greenwood style blades expectedly tended to jam in seasoned wood . The more crosscut blades worked OK on anything with not much trouble. I also used chain saws a lot, commonly called "power saws" in Canada. NEVER bring a chain saw bar down on the flat cut top of a green sapling. You may be cut virtually in half vertically from the chainsaw kickback, seriously. By and large, I find a bowsaw a safer survival tool.
Thank you again, Sir. YHS, campdog
Get the less expensive aluminum buck saw and hand craft your own wooden handle. Easy. 💪
I have the silky saws the outback edition and I never had a problem with them the one thing I like about the silky saws is they cut bone as well as green and dry wood and I have all 3 outbacks the pocket boy , the gomboy , and the big boy witch I bought from you at S,R,O.
