I have used just the saw in my Leatherman (a pretty damned good saw, even if a little short for some things) sooo many times, yet right now I can not come up with one good example. Maybe to make a bow/drill/board for trying to start a fire. Cutting a splint for a broken arm/leg/rifle stock. Making a crutch to help someone with a bumb leg. Too early for my higher brain functions (if there are any) to kick in...
