The Silky and the Sven Saw are the two saws that, from what I'm hearing, are the most recommended, positively revied saws. Granted, I don't do a lot of sawing. I am far from an expert.

The two saws go with very different approaches. Silky, like other modern saws, unfold and go. Sven, being old school, it takes a few seconds to set up and a few seconds to fold it up again.

Also, the wingnut on the Sven saw has been known to drop and get lost. That is easy to fix by going to your nearest big box store.

Disclaimer: I have no affiliation with any company that makes saws.
