DETAILS

There are folding saws and then there is the BIGBOY. With a blade length of over 14 inches, the BIGBOY offers a larger cutting capacity, extended reach, and longer stroke for fast cutting. This saw can handle large limbs, small trunks and even many construction projects with no problem. Lightweight, with a thicker and stronger aluminum handle and longer blade, the BIGBOY is perfect for cutting larger jobs down to size. This saw weighs just 1.25lb (570g). If you need to cut bigger material than what an average length folding saw can handle, the BIGBOY is a “must have” in your cutting arsenal. Only the BIGBOY 2000 with XL teeth has a curved blade. The fine, medium and large tooth versions have straight blades.

BIGBOY is available in four teeth sizes/configurations (tpi - teeth per inch): 5.5 tpi â Extra Large/Coarse (pruning, green wood), 6 tpi - Large/Coarse (pruning, green wood), 8.5 tpi - Medium (soft wood), and 11 tpi - Fine (hard wood, bamboo).

Solid saw

Used the saw a handful of times at this point. Cuts through anything and fold up flat vs the XL (curved blade), which I like.

Believe the hype

Cut a green cedar log about 10 inches in diameter in about 30 seconds. Put this one on your must have list for the post zombie apocalypse kit.

Hence the reputation

Its probably the most enjoyable bushcraft sawing work i've ever done. All of that backpack ready. Quality product stands up to it's price. Will not go back to cheaper folding saw after a taste of that. Got it fast too for something at the other side of the country. Got quick response from the chat on the website and will recommend this one to my friends wich are now jealous of my saws! 😂 The pocketboy 170 is just as convenient for smaller jobs and for making fireboard.
