I recently purchased the Bahco 396-LAP Laplander Folding Saw, and it has quickly become an essential tool for my outdoor activities. The 9-inch blade with 7 teeth per inch (TPI) is perfect for cutting through both green and dry wood, as well as plastic and bone. The saw is lightweight and compact, making it easy to carry in my backpack.The blade locks securely in both the open and closed positions, ensuring safety during use and transport. The ergonomic handle is comfortable to hold, even during extended cutting sessions. The saw's performance is impressive, providing clean and efficient cuts with minimal effort.Overall, the Bahco 396-LAP Laplander Folding Saw is a reliable and versatile tool that I highly recommend for camping, hiking, and general outdoor use. It's durable, easy to use, and delivers excellent results.

One of the best saws I have ever had. This saw is easy to use, durable and fits well in your hand. It makes taking out small limbs a breeze. Being able to fold it up make it safe around kids when not in use.

I was looking for something more efficient for cutting fire wood and shelter products in the woods. I have used an axe and a hand axe for cutting these items in the past but now that I am older, they get tiresome. So I decided to try a folding saw for ease of carrying and use. I liked the size of this, I don't think I needed anything longer. For a first folding saw, I didn't want to buy something like a Silkey yet. Maybe later. We recently had a storm, power was still out and some limbs were cracked and hanging waiting to fall. I could have gotten the chainsaw, but wanted to check out the Bahco instead. I was impressed. The angle from the handle to the blade looked odd but felt god in the hand. The blade lock was good, easy to lock open and close. The blade was quite aggressive and sawed through those limbs very well. Not hard on my hand or arm at all. Very smooth cutting. It's a good size for me and what I need it to do. Cut quality is quite good and leaves the cut surfaces quite smooth. Not a big deal for firewood but that may be more important for other tasks. Handle seems strong and grippy, hinge point seems strong, durability does not appear to be a problem either. Blade slices through wood well. The only co nab cern I may have is with the blade thickness. It seems a little thin but then this is my first folding saw and I had no problems with removing any limbs or cutting them into garbage can length pieces. Not sure how they temper these blades but seem to do a good job with heat dissipation. Glad I decided to buy this.

For the price a very well made saw that is compact and lightweight. Cuts both green and dry wood well.

Saw works great! Definitely glad I bought it. Worth $25, easy. I considered buying a Silky Gomboy. Glad I chose the Bahco Laplander instead. It cuts good enough and seems very durable. Feels nice and comfortable using it.

I have had this saw since 2017 and i have used it so many times its ridiculous. It is as tough as a coffin nail. The blade is still sharp. The lock has never worked right, but im not using the back of the blade, so its not a problem. Its still as sharp as the day i bought it. I wish it would break so i would have an excuse to buy a new one. Its not for cutting down mighty oaks. Its for processing wood for a campfire. Dont get it confused with a chainsaw. A chainsaw is a chainsaw, this is a small folding saw. Ive never owned a silky or any of the fancier saws on the market, but this one does what i need it to do, very effectively.

wasn’t expecting such a good saw at this price point I just needed one for my pack. Didn’t want to pay arm and leg for one. This hand saw is compact, locks great, and it’s very sharp. My pack is heavy so feeling how light it is was a very appreciated. You don’t need a lot of pressure to cut, let the saw do its job . It’s not heavy duty, but it’s a great product for the price and better than you would expect.

Great saw. Doesn’t cut as fast as a Silky but will bend before it breaks. Touch up the top edge and throw excellent sparks with a ferro rod.
