KaBar Knives Folding Saw Review. Not Great.

Spent some time with the New Camp Tool offered by KaBar , here are my thoughts.
The saw is Comfortable in the hand with a solid feel and rubberized grip. The rubber coating keeps the handle from slipping in wet weather. The blade locks in the open and closed position, a great feature to keep your gear and hands safe from the teeth if you store it in a pack.
The saw weight is quite heavy for is somewhat short cutting length, and the blade is of quite poor quality compared to the handle. I found it struggling to cut through stuff lower priced, lighter saws handled with ease.
This is not a horrible saw, but for the price it just doesn't cut it. This is priced above or equal to the best in class saws of this size and I see no reason to purchase this over any of the competition. Even the $12 hardware store saw I have has a better blade and weighs much less. Kabar needs to step up the quality and maximize the actual cut length on the blade to compete at this price point.
