Firstly, let’s hear what Trail Blazer has to say about their Take-Down Buck Saw:
The world renowned Take-Down Buck Saw is a lightweight, collapsible buck saw with a Swedish steel blade that provides an efficient cut that will hold an edge. The anodized aluminum frame and stainless steel parts ensure a long lasting tool. In 1995, the Take-Down Buck Saw received the Source Canada Award for excellence in manufacturing, and is now available worldwide.
Features:
- Lightweight (only 20 oz/600 g)
- Breaks down and all parts can be stored in the handle
- Can cut through wood up to 15” (38 cm) thick
- Available with an 18” (45 cm) or 20” (50 cm) blade
My thoughts: 
I have brought the Take-Down Buck Saw on many fishing and camping trips. I have never had any issues with the blade – it doesn’t stick or bind – and it cuts through all types of wood. It only takes a few minutes to break down and store in the handle, so it hardly takes up any room in my pack.
The bottom line: 
The Trail Blazer Take-Down Buck Saw cuts through wood quickly, takes up very little space, and is also reasonably priced. The Take-Down Buck Saw is an excellent product, and I highly recommend it for anyone who spends time in the great outdoors. This will also be our first contest prize! Details to follow.
