## Description

Bahco BAH396LAP Laplander Folding Saw, 7-1/2" Blade, Ergo Grip, Green | Trail Maintenance, Wood Processing And Camping Use, Rust Protected Blade, Secure Lock, Fast Cutting Action, Outdoor Tool - desertcart.com

Review: High quality sharp bladed trail saw - This is a nicely constructed handsaw to carry in a small bike pack to clear fallen trees. Very sharp blade makes quick work of removing downed limbs and branches. The lock mechanism is exceptional. This tool has a great feel to it as well. I was able to cut through a 6 inch pine trunk in two places, blocking the trail in under five minutes.
Review: Top Brand of Excellent Design and Quality - This is a very reputable brand and well-made folding saw. I have several such saws including another famous brand, and this one is both functional and nicely configured to impress the crew. I use an extended pouch with Molle attachments (PAL system) to attach it to one of my gear sets, and it's ready to go. You never know when you might need to take down that sapling and fashion a spear to keep the zombies at bay or poke a slow hiker on the trail! Seriously, this is very well regarded product - sharp, easy to deploy and use, ergonomic, compact, and effective. There are a couple of good brands - and as someone who loves genuine Japanese back saws - this one is among good company in my collection. Bring on those zombies, I am ready.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How would this compare to the Corona RS 10" folding pruning saw?**
A: Apples and oranges. The Corona 10" is excellent, cuts great, it's 3" longer than the 7" (not 9") Bahco blade, and it's curved which is a big advantage cutting curved logs/branches. It's also a little longer and a little heavier (9.5 oz). If you're serious enough about cutting wood to justify carrying a little larger saw, or you are car camping/biking/kayaking and weight is just not crucial, bring the Corona 10". If a slightly lighter and smaller saw are more important to you then the Bahco has the advantage. Either will cut great. For home firewood/landscaping use, get the largest/longest saw that's comfortable. Corona also makes a 14" version and Fiskars makes a great 13" lightweight wood saw. For backpacking and hiking the Bahco would be the more compact choice.

**Q: Can you replace the blade on this unit?**
A: Yes, you can replace the blade in this saw. The Bahco blade is held in to the handle with a large Philips screw on the locking button side, and a locking nut in a captive slot on the reverse side. I haven't seen the exact blade used in the Laplander saw listed separately for sale here in the US, but it's a common replacement overseas, especially in Europe.NOTE: The 396HP blade is for the 396HP 7-1/2" saw, the 396JT blade is for the 396JT Japanese Tooth style saw. Both of these blades are NOT the original blade for the 396-LAP 8" Laplander saw.

**Q: How long is the blade and how long is the saw when it is closed?**
A: Actually not 9 inches blade length but just under that. I dont have means of exact measures at this time. I would guess its about an 8 in blade and 9 inch handle that it folds into. So the closed length is actually 9 in.

**Q: Does it cut both forward & back?**
A: I have not yet used it in the field, but by looking at the teeth, it looks like the cutting movement is back only? I could be wrong..

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Another hidden gem
*by Q***R on February 9, 2015*

After an ice storm hit my home town and I was left without power for a week in -30°C (-22°F), I became far more interested in basic, primal tools and survival/bushcraft. I never had the opportunity to be in the scouts, so this has been a learning experience for me, and I'd love to share what I've learned with you, because my requirements were simple: I need the best, most necessary, cheapest tools I can find. Since you're here looking at this, I'm going to guess you may fall into one of those categories as well. A saw is secondary to a knife (as is pretty much everything), can be carried with, or instead of an axe. Men like Mors Kochanski carry bowsaw blades around their waists on special belts. While a 24" bow saw is going to do things this saw can't, buying a belt like that will run you about $180 from a specialist company, OR you'll need to make it yourself, AND you'll also already need the skill to craft a bowsaw frame in the wild as well. For a beginner, this is a daunting task. This is where this saw comes in. First let's talk pedigree. Bahco was founded by Johan Petter Johansson, the man who invented the adjustable wrench. Formerly the Tool & Saw division of Sandvik (acquired 1991), and as recently brought to my attention by another reviewer, it is now owned by Snap-On. If you know any of these names, they should strike a chord. However, name isn't anything, nor a guarantee of quality. However, the reviews on this thing speak for itself. Swedes love their bushcraft and essentially have yet to be surpassed in terms of quality for the money (Mora) or just outright quality regardless of money (Gransfors Bruks). The 396-LAP is no different. When I got it, it was surprisingly big, and surprisingly light. The handle is 9" from tip-to-tip, meaning I can wrap both my hands around it and still have a bit poking out either end. Realistically, this gives you the option of operating it double-handed. However, you'll find that utterly unnecessary. By depressing the very secure lock (you must release the lock both to extend and retract the blade, a really nice feature), you can release the 7" general-purpose blade. The saw has 7 extremely aggressive teeth per inch, and cuts on both the fore and backstroke; this is important because it means you don't waste any energy, super important in a real survival setting, and making cutting through brush and wood in your backyard like slicing through bread with a chainsaw. The saw blade itself has a 1/16" kerf, which is half of a full blade kerf that you'll find on your typical circular saw. While I don't necessarily agree that this is a weight-saving option (I don't think an extra ounce or two of metal would be that drastic), as some note it can make the blade feel flimsy. When retracting it, sometimes it can bend and strike the handle. However, anyone who has worked with handsaws will know that it's inevitable there's some give in what is essentially a long, narrow piece of sheet metal. A few people mention problems with the saw bending (particularly on the push), I haven't experienced this but this problem can also be aggravated by cutting knotty wood or a dull saw. This product typically sells around half its MSRP on here (~$20) making it pretty much indispensable for bushcraft, survival enthusiasts, camping or anyone who has to contend with branches that are too thick to use a machete or the like on but too thin to justify an axe or chainsaw. Furthermore, just like the Mora, this thing cuts way outside of its own class. Highly recommend. Not shown in the picture is the fact it comes with a tan leather wrist strap. While this is okay for home use (but not really meaningful in such a case and will degrade eventually anyway), if you use this in any rugged (bushcraft, portage, survival) situations, you should really switch that to a synthetic (paracord), preferably a high-visibility colour because this thing is the same colour as a forest floor, and if you drop it, especially at night, you're never going to see it again. And finally, let me tell you, in a survival situation, if you pull this thing out, there's definitely an intimidation factor, like staring down the maw of an alligator.
