Do you remember where you got yours?

I haven't started looking yet but Cabela's is the only time I've seen that particular saw.

The chainsaw blade is toothed like the pocket chainsaw from what I can tell from Doug's review of the pocket chainsaw.

I haven't been there in a while but it's one of my favorite stores right up there with Mountain Equipment Coop.

If you ever are there and see someone in uniform,(most likely at the gun counter) then say hi.

Ritter's Pocket Saw review

I've had one of these in my hunting pack for quite a while. I can take down lodgepoles in about 1/3 the time with these than I can with any axe or hatchet, using the latter to trim branches etc instead.

A pocket saw, properly used, is more ergonomic and less strenous/exerting than swinging an axe on any sort of cross grain cutting. Axes work good on splitting grain, which you get at branch junctions and splitting rounds. A good sharp axe will chip cross grain, but not as efficiently as the chain saw does.

BTW, you could always make your own from a motorized chainsaw chain, just pop the links and alternate the cutting teeth in opposite directions. I think that is how the Saber chain saw is done anyways.

My only complaint with the pocket saw was when I was learning how to use it and would roll a loop into the chain and have it bind. I quickly learned how to avoid that mistake.
