Features of folding saws

The main feature of a folding saw is that you fold the saw blade into the handle, much like a pocket knife. Once folded the saw takes up little space, making it easy to transport. It is also extra safe because the sharp saw blade cannot come into contact with other objects.

How do I choose the best folding saw?

There are different types of folding saws. There are saws where the saw blade folds out of the handle with one hinge, and there are folding saws that fold out by means of a frame, also called frame saw or tension saw. The advantage of a single-hinged folding saw is that it opens easily and quickly, it will be ready for use in no time. The advantage of a tension saw is that these often have a coarser blade meant for cutting wet wood. The saw blades are also easy to obtain and replace, allowing you to carry one saw for multiple purposes.

What size folding saw do I need?

To figure out what size folding saw you need, it's important to consider the size of the wood you're planning to cut. As a general rule of thumb, the following applies: the maximum wood size a foldable saw can handle is about half the length of the saw blade. For example, with the Silky Gomboy 240 you can comfortably cut wood with a 120-mm diameter. The size of wood you can cut with a tension saw is limited to the height of the frame. Keep this in mind when choosing a saw.
