archie_james_c Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 (edited) Well me and a friend went into the park yesterday in search of the usual speck/laker combo. Fishing was slooooooooow but I managed to pull out a 15" Brookie and a little minnow of a Laker also had my worm stripped in the same hole I caught the speck in. The speck was caught on a small eagle claw treble hook with a worm and no weight...just let it sink to the bottom and slither around . The Laker was caught on my trusted Williams Whitefish in gold/silver hammered. My rant as it is, is about my Canadian Tire Gerber folding bone/wood saw seen here...http://www.gerbergear.com/index.php/product/id/83 Well after cutting half way through a dead 4" Cedar all i hear is "SNAP", and watch as the blade blows apart...well thats no good I figure, so I had to use the bone blade for the rest of the day, and that didn't make me too happy. I have a video to follow it up. EDIT- Video here...**WARNING** I say the F word not once, but twice Heres the Speck next to a 6" bladed Buck Knife. Like I said in a previous post, cowboy coffee looking out on the lake My partner all ambitious to get some poisson.

solopaddler Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 I've been using a Coghlans folding swede saw for years, they're bulletproof: http://www.coghlanscampinggear.com/cofosaw.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyb Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 (edited) I have had those folding saws blow apart as well...would have thought a Gerber product would stand up though. I don't know the name of my saw...paid $30 for it at Hiker's Haven...turns into a mean-ass looking hacksaw, and all comes apart to store inside one long tubular handle. Kind of like the coghlan's, just with a beefier handle. I found a pic of it...or a very good knockoff...the thing has never let me down, and cuts through anything. Super lightweight and takes up no next to zero space.Trailblazer TakeDown bucksaw Edited January 13, 2010 by johnnyb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
