Looking to purchase a good compact folding saw to throw in my bag for hunting so that I can saw small limbs off of trees as I'm using my climber. Any recommendations? I would preferably like it to be something that doesn't take up too much room.


ETA - For what it's worth, I was looking at a hooyman mega bite that folds up to around 6 inches.

BTW

I think you can get them cheaper on Amazon.

I'm not affiliated with Ben's but I have bought Opinels and Moras from them.

I'll definitely check out Amazon. That's pretty much where I do most of my shopping.

Yeah, I think that would be a good idea. I know I won't always need a saw so shears would be handy in those cases.

I am new to the climbing stand world honestly. I just got back into deer hunting 3-4 years ago and growing up I was always scared of climbers. But I purchased a Summit Viper SD climber and my wife bought me a Hunter Safety Systems harness for Christmas. I've been doing some practicing out in the yard to get familiar with all of it and was finally able to get it on a tree and hunt Saturday morning. Loved it and could have sat there all day. But, when I got about 16-17 feet up I ran into a small limb that was just a little too thick to break with my hands so I figured I need to invest in a small saw.

I don't have one, but I would buy a:

Sven Saw

It's about $40 bucks and weighs just over 1 pound.

I think what OP is looking to do with a climbing stand the folding saw is the way to go. Quick to unfold and use.

The Sven saw is nice but a little long and probably takes longer to assemble for sawing if you have it folded up.

Crap - I linked the 21"?

They do make a 15" which I was thinking of. And, it's not "open" blade - when packed, it's self contained - it's designed for backpacking.

I bought a gerber and it broke on the first use. Then got a bacho about 5 years ago and its still going strong.
