Last year I purchased this bypass lopper<\/a> from Corona<\/a> and I’ve been very happy with it, so when it was time to purchase a small(er) hand saw I went with one of their models. This afternoon two new tools arrived, the Razor Tooth Raker Tooth Saw – 21 in (RS 7160)<\/a> (seen above) for serious trail-work sawing and the Razor Tooth Folding Saw – 6 1\/2 in (RS 4040)<\/a> (Photo<\/a>) to keep in my backpack for small jobs. These were purchased as a replacement for the Sven-Saw<\/a> which I left behind on the trail after Erik, Nick, and I cleared some serious post-storm deadfall from River Bends<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I’d considered buying another Sven-Saw as it was quite convenient to carry in my backpack and only pull out when needed, but the setup\/teardown made it a little difficult to use, and the cut depth limitations inherent in a bow saw occasionally caused problems. I’m hoping that this saw, particularly with its raker teeth, will be perfect for most of the trail-side sawing that I have to do.<\/p>\n

Since the 21″ Raker Tooth saw doesn’t come with a sheath and its blade is quite pointy I decided to make one out of some salvaged Coroplast<\/a>. While not as durable as a dedicated holder, it should suffice to keep things safe from it in the trunk of the car and keep me from cutting myself while carrying it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
