Thanks All ...
Ed, not sure if you carry one with you in your bag or not, but i remember you saying you do a lot of woods hunting, this has to be one of the most useful items i carry with me, if you don`t have one i highly recommend sticking one in the old detecting bag .
it has saved me many times. and makes the difference between an unrecoverable target and another find in the bag .
Makes a world of difference when hunting in the woods ...

I use one just like Ed's, and it's pretty darn good, but, because it's longer, it tends to wobble a lot as I dig on thinner side towards the tip. I think yours being shorter, it would be more stable, with less wobble.

Thanks Joe, the saw is a Corona, they have them at most hardware stores.

Thanks, I'm going to pick one up! Yours looks a wee bit shorter in the photo, do they just have the one size? Is yours unstable or does it shake/wobble at all when you dig through tough roots?
Joe
Its fairly sturdy, mine is a 7 inch blade. i did notice when using it to not push hard on the root but allow the saw to do its job and just apply light pressure, otherwise it likes to bind up in the root. i cut through wrist sized roots in seconds with it so it seems to do pretty well. the blade is fairly wide that may stabilized some of the wobble that the slimmer hand saws may have ...
