Woodlore has resurrected an old favourite - the Folding Buck Saw - and together, Ray and Chris Boyton have produced this exclusive version, which can be seen in use in the Bushcraft Survival Series 2 DVD .
As salt is to pepper, this saw is to the axe - they complement each other perfectly. A strong buck saw such as this offers a safer, quicker and more efficient way of felling and splitting dead wood for the fire. It's a tool for professionals; folding with a simple traditional design, it can be easily transported into wild places, whether by canoe, toboggan, snowmobile or 4x4.
Beautifully hand-crafted in European Beech by British bow-maker Chris Boyton, the Buck Saw comes tastefully embossed with the RM 'snowshoe' and Boyton Archery logos, and fitted with a high quality 24" Bahco Raker Tooth Blade .
The Folding Buck Saw comes complete with its own carry case, produced in-house by Woodlore's own resident leather worker. Updated for 2011, this new case now comes with an additional sleeve pocket on the front to house your axe, allowing you to keep both tools close to hand and never left behind! This pocket will fit either the Gransfors Small Forest Axe or the Ray Mears Wilderness Axe , as well as other similarly-sized models. Made from the same sturdy, waterproof brown canvas that is used on our other canvas and leather products, it now also features twin canvas loops fitted with tough brown 550 Para Cord, allowing you to wear the case across your back, leaving your hands free to carry all your firewood!
Like all the best equipment, the saw is a silent companion on our wildest wanderings which is only truly appreciated when left behind by mistake. - Ray Mears

My compliments on an excellent saw. This is not only a superb cutting
implement but a work of art that I will undoubtedly pass along to my
son one day. The assembly is easy, rapid and yields a saw more than
capable of accomplishing any task I can dream of in the bush. My
regards to the craftsman and to your excellent staff.

This is truly an amazing piece of equipment, well made from start to finish. The buck saw itself is a valuable piece of equipment, either for using on large carving projects or for just collecting fire wood. And with the addition of the housing on the case for the forest axe, this means that two of the most important pieces of equipment are together at hand whenever they are needed.
