Pros: Blade Material, Blade Sharpness, Edge Retention, Overall Quality

Nearly Perfect
I ordered this to add to my growing BugOut stash. To try it out I used it to prune some stupid tree shoots growing right next to my home. It worked even better than I thought it would. Cuts quickly and cleanly as can be expected. I love the wooden construction used. Comfortable and warm to the hand. My only bit of dis-satisfaction is twofold, the blade is extremely stiff at the hinge, causing me to occasionally use my pliers (multitool) to open the saw. And the Viroblock hangs up at a certain point. I have oiled both areas. Hopefully they will free up and be more easily useable soon. Despite these two points, I highly recommend this pocket saw for camping, bush crafting, and general pruning work. I wish I had this with me years ago when my dad would send me up the willow tree for occasional major pruning.
