AGAWA - BOREAL21 -> 21 Inch Folding Bow Saw - Black Frame, Green Handle, 21" ...

The saw that you see in nearly every bushcraft YouTubers arsenal, and for good reason. This saw was everything I expected and more. I hesitated for quite a while because of the price, but realized that replacement blades for this saw are only a few dollars from any hardware store, while my Bahco Laplander cost almost the price of the saw to replace the blade. So this saw would end up costing me less in the long run. The saw is long and skinny so it slides right into my pack without taking up hardly any space and not adding much weight. It sets up in a few seconds by unfolding and then snapping into place. The tension it puts on the blade is amazing and does not allow any flex or wobble which helps get a beautiful, clean cut very quickly. The blade it comes with is the all purpose one which is great for green woods but still does a really good job with dried, seasoned hardwood. The only word of advice would be to consider going with the saw and sheath combo package because while I am out just gathering firewood or building material for the camp, it is a bit tough to carry around. Since the blade is so crazy sharp I generally close it while walking, especially if carrying wood back to camp, and it doesn’t fit in any sort of pocket very well while walking. I am making a sheath now for it to help fix this. The speed and ease that this saw works through everything I have thrown at it blows my mind. If you’re considering this saw, but are hesitant because of the price, there are great budget saws like the Bahco Laplander that do work very well but those blades cost a lot more to replace. If you’re considering this saw, but are hesitant because you don’t know if it will live up to the hype or the YouTube videos and reviews, just buy it. You will not be disappointed!

Impressive! Watched a professional use it during a Bushcraft course, and figured there's a reason he uses it. Know I know why. Cuts like a champ, perfect angle for the handle that works for me, and folds up fast and thin for easy carrying. Ya, new-found favorite.😁

I purchased this Boreal 21in folding bow saw to clear the trails I ride with my dirt bike and it is now my favorite tool out on the trail. at first I thought of getting a chain saw and mounting it on my bike like I have seen guys do on social media. while it may seem more epic and manly that seemed like overkill for 90% of the stuff I run into. also I didn't like the idea of having all that extra weight on the front of my bike and messing with the handling of the bike. the only other options I could think of were these smaller folding saws. I have a 10 in one and it works well on branches but anything over 6 in took forever to cut. There not as efficient because your wrist has to be at a 45 degree angle witch can lead to fatigue. So finally after some time researching I saw a guy on YouTube pull out one of these style of folding saws and then I knew this was what I was looking for, something that is light enough to take on any ride and has the ability to do some serious cutting! I ended up getting this one because of the amount of reviews this one had and I am glad I did! this thing feels solid and dose what I need it to do. it is the perfect size and fits on my pack nicely. overall it is a quality feeling tool and worth the money. would buy again in a heart beat.

Awesome saw. Got to finally use it this week while off-roading on old logging roads when I came upon three 6-8” caliper trees down. Perfect tool to have in the 4x4.

Absolutely amazing saw, Truely cuts through any log Fits perfectly in any backpack. Outdoor boys rated it best in the market and i would have to agree and will be buying more. Very durable and it may seem a little pricy but is worth every dime. You will have it for years

After watching all the serious bushcrafters using these, I bought one to replace the saw I originally used. (Which was part of a tactical axe/saw combo). I've had the same 21 inch Boreal for 2 years, used it in all 4 seasons and it's the only saw I've ever needed. Key Pro's: 1) It's really hard wearing - Despite accidentally leaving the saw unfolded and in the rain overnight on multiple occasions, the folding mechanism continues to work flawlessly and hasn't needed any attention. 2) It cuts incredibly well and with little effort - The Boreal blades are incredibly hard wearing, easy to change and really inexpensive (~$10). I had the same blade on my saw for about 15 months and even though I changed it, it was still cutting perfectly well. Cons/comments 1) (if you can call this a con?) - It's not the cheapest option for a foldaway saw but it's worth it. 2) Amazon does have options for purchasing the standalone saw or a package of saw+sheath+additional blade. In my opinion, purchasing a sheath is a must and it'll improve the longevity of an already excellent product.

Pros: 1) The saw folds down in a creative space saving way that keeps blade hidden and items protected from getting cut; 2) The saw folds/unfolds in an easy manner and locks in place; 3) The saw cuts very well Cons: 1) The saw's weakest point is at the hinges where the saw blade is held. It seems very flimsy when folding and unfolding to the point that if you aren't careful you might break the blade of the saw at this point; 2) The saw blade bends more than it should when cutting. Maybe there is no saw with as long of a blade that doesn't flex when under stress. There is no way to adjust the tension. Bottom line: I would buy it again. It is a great saw. It is not lightweight, but worth hauling if you area on a multiple day backpacking trip where cutting wood for heat. I recently used it for this purpose and cut wood that was around 4-6 in diameter with it. There is no way I would have been able to cut what I cut with a small folding limb saw in the same amount of time and with the same amount of effort.

I purchased this saw from amazon back in 2019. I use it for both camping and backpacking. This is a very sturdy saw, easy to deploy, easy to fold up and easy to pack. The blade cuts very aggressively and I can't say enough about it. After 3 years of heavy use it's still holding up great. Blade replacement was easy as well. I'm writing this review now because of a recent interaction with Agawa customer service. I was packing for a trip and I happened to notice one of the screws on the handle of the saw was missing. I went to their website and saw they had several of the small parts available for sale but not the screws. It's sort of an odd shape so I thought it might be tricky finding a replacement at the hardware store. So I emailed the customer service address on the website asking if I could purchase a replacement. Within a matter of a couple hours, I received a response with a tracking number indicating replacement screws were on the way. No charge for the screws, no charge for the shipping, no questions asked. This is a GREAT company! If you're looking for a folding bow saw, stop looking. You now only have to worry about which size Agawa Boreal saw you want!

Better than most other camping saws I've tried!

Fantastic saw, just wish I had bought the package that includes the aggressive blade and sheath. Anyway I’ve made a cordura sheath and included the Bahco pegged tooth blade for bushcraft versatility, paired with the Gransfors small forest axe I should survive the winter nights in the woods.

Nice saw, overall good quality. My only regret is that I didn't buy the complete kit which includes the storage case. I purchased a saw bag for it which was kind of pricey and it turned out to be a piece of junk.
