I know of a successful prison escape using dental floss and sand to cut the bars. There is a place and a reason for everything. If I was packing in somewhere, the tuttletooth crosscut saw would be tied in it's firehose sheath and lashed over the mantie along with the crusier axe. If I'm on a casual trailride the saw in a can slips inside my Filson. You want a real example? Imagine finding a horse caste in a tangle of storm downed trees! BTDT. A chainsaw would have been to loud without a DMV present to tranquilize the animal and most everything else equally cumbersome manuevering in the mess. The pocket saw was exactly the right tool for the job. Most important, I had it on me.
