Wire Saws on Sale for $1.28 Delivered!

I bought a few today, they are an awesome item to keep in your jacket/bag when hunting. Very useful to clearing up a shooting lane in a tree stand/ground blind or in emergency situations.

I can't talk to the quality, but the price can't be beat:

Ive had these, and they suck. They do not work. I opted for the folding camp/tree saw

But it says COMMANDO in the name!!! It's got to be quality with a name like that!

+1.

I guess they could/would work in a serious survival scenario (or for a Columbian necktie).

Get one of these. I've cut down 4" trees in a surprisingly short amount of time.

Gerber makes a great slide-out limb saw.

The handle serves as a sheath when not in use.

A large knob locks it all in place.

Cuts like butta.

If you want a wire saw that actually works you are going to want something like the sabercut saw.

I like folding saws for small jobs around a campsite. I use them if not worried about packing weight/size or only expect small/medium sized limbs but I have cut some large trees blocking trails with the sabrecut. Saws like sabercuts aren't as easy for smaller jobs but give you the ability to take on bigger trees if you really needed to. Any wire type saw is going to take some strength and work better with two people.

I always have my anvil pruning shears in my hunting vest and I also own a pole pruner. I also keep my folding saw in the truck at all times as well.

I never go in the woods without my pruners.

A tip for using this kind of saw: Don't hold them directly by the rings at each end. Attach a loop of rope or strap of some kine to the rings, or put a short stick through them.

How about one of these?

I've had these little saws in the past. Put a plastic dogtag necklace cover on it and could wear it around my neck when on deployments in the wilds. I've been able to cut down small diameter trees (<3") with it, as well as some other items but never tried it on anything larger. For the price it would be worthwhile to have a couple in the bag for emergencies IMHO

I want to quietly cut tree limbs, in the Deer hunting woods, not spend all day whacking on them.

how much did that cost?

theneckie · Nov 21, 2013

I have used them to cut 4 in PVC pipe before and they work great but never on wood.

tomandjerry00 · Nov 21, 2013

We used one when we were on a 4 day horse-back trip in canadian rockies and a 6 or 7 inch branch fell over the trail. It took a while, but it cut!

I bought it around the spring of 2011 or so and as I recall it was around $140-150 including shipping from Nepal at that time. Really a good deal IMHO considering the quality of workmanship and materials put in to it. That blade is nearly 1/2 inch thick at the spine, yet it came with a razor sharp edge. In fact, I nicked myself somehow while handling it to take that picture. They've got a big selection of models, sizes, and styles. Here's their web site:

There's a few other similar companies operating in nepal too. I can't speak for the others, but Khukuri House was very pleasant to deal with maintained good communication (email) despite the language differences. Let's just say their English was somewhat idiosyncratic...

If I ever buy another I believe I'd go for one with some modern features like this:
