Yes,any good pruning saw taken out of the handle is a good addition to a kit. They are extremely flat and take little space. Mine is an ARS, but I'm not sure where the steel is made. They are agressive cutters and require little effort to cut a two or three inch limb. May I suggest a high quality hack saw blade with 16 to 18 teeth per inch. They cut dry wood surprisingly well and are excellent for cutting triggers for snare trips and self snagging fishing lines. Would appreciate location information on Sandvik pruning saw blades.
