    I like my Husqvarna 272XP with 28" bar

    I’ve used a Wyoming Saw 2 for over 30 years, compact and comes with a wood blade and bone blade, the wood blade has cleared many trees across roads for me over the years.
    Wyoming saw, compact and easy to use. Had mine for 40 years. Both sons also use them.
    gotta agree with these gentleman.....i'm probably 20 years in on mine

    Just got a silky this year. Amazing tool. Lee Valley has a knock off that I would have gotten had I seen it before I bought the silky. Price is right.

    I'm also a silky fan.
    The only thing I like as much as trucks, is guns.

    +1 on Silky, if it matters by now..

    Which silky is best for bone and wood? Is there a light weight model for backpacking?

Used it for a bon fire a few days ago and was amazed at how well it worked sawing through several logs, 5-10 inches in diameter. The teeth chewed through both hard and softwood fallen trees that I dug out of the snow. I just rotated the thicker trees to saw through. Quick work.

    Small, lightweight and works well. Best bang for your buck!

    i still remember grand pa teaching my younger brother and i to use the bow saw as a team....We were no more than 6 and 7 years old....

    I can still hear his voice saying "just pull..don't push"....and " pull sooner or your fingers will get squished" .. i can still picture my 4 year old other brother sitting on the log that was perched on the saw horses we used for cutting up the logs...

    used a lot of bow saws over the years....there is something nice about the sound of a bow saw as it cuts through the log...quieter than the ole chainsaw too heheheh

    A saw which has a frame is very good but the size of the frame limits the diameter of wood you can saw. A folding blade saw with a 12 inch blade is, in my opinion, a better choice.
