I use a wicked tree saw. I have not broken the blade yet. I use to break one each year, and was sick of busting my knuckles, so I paid the extra. I  dropped my first one in a ditch behind my house when I was working one day and did not realize it. Hunting season rolled around and I could not find it. Ordered another one. A year later I was around that same ditch and looked down and there it was. I have no idea with the amount of water that flows thru their it did not wash away. Picked it up cleaned the rust, oiled it up and now I have two of them. I have used it just as much as the other saws I had before but the blade has remained sharp, blade has not broken and the handle is really amazing.

looks slick blessed!

I dug out the newer one I'm carrying.

Its an outdoors edge grizz saw.  I haven't ran it through bone yet, so I'll hopefully report this sept with a swamp donkey.

X2 on the Wicked Tree Saw- best folding saw ever IMHO.
Comfortable grip, indestructible handle, strong SHARP blade... what more can you ask for? The holster is really handy too, allows you to sheath it with the blade open while climbing/ trimming for easy one-hand operation. Great product!

I also found the wicked saw to be smaller than others when folded in the pack.

I just ordered the Wicked saw.Sounds like a great saw but I wouldn't want to have to chew on an Alaskan moose skull with one though.The only one I could think of is that Wyoming saw and I'd probably lean toward the larger size.

Coghlan's folding Sierra saw is the only folding saw I carry. The handle is extremely durable, the blade is very sharp, and it only weighs 5.5 oz.  The blade is more flexible than others I have owned but I have yet to destroy it.  Also economical.  Cuts wood like nobody's business. I gave my Gerber to a nephew.  Much heavier.

For hard use on branches the wicked tree saw is unbeatable, if your looking for a saw to do both in my opinion you cannot beat a wyoming saw with bone and wood blades, the nylon pouch version is really not very heavy.

The Silky Pro-Sentei is my favorite backcountry saw. I can cut 4-6" trees for poles and serious firewood. 2-4" dry wood cuts extremely fast for my woodstove. Small branches cut with a single stroke. I'm one of the few guys who doesn't care for a folding saw. My Pro-Sentei has a fixed blade and great grip, along with a light plastic sheath. I find it to be a faster cutter than any of my good folding saws. I haven't tried this saw on a skull, but believe it would shave green bone effectively...even a moose skull.

U can use a smaller Wyoming saw.  Get forward of the brows a bit.   If u want less bone once the caps cut off flip it over and trim what u don't want.


I don't cut bones instead pack out quarters.   Though I don't hunt down in the special bone in giganticus moose area either.  I get your lower lumber pain of 150 or more bone in hind quarters.   Our guide area had some monsters (Larry jones and MR James hunt) having packed a few out  keeps you young and invigorated lol !!!

I use the smaller wyoming saw for quartering/packing/capping type stuff and a gorilla folder for branches and what not.  I've had the wyoming saw in use for a good while now.
