That can get replacement blades for a folding saw is tip top. they're a little thin, but sharp, so not much effort for cutting.

Crazy sharp. Perfect for pruning my Palo Verde

Got this for my wife who is an avid gardener. She took to it immediately.The size is good for her hand. The cuts are clean and quick. It's got a generous length so you can get through more branch with less back and forth.A few days later, I found it in the wheelbarrow and it had been in the rain. I groaned as I was sure it was going to be all rusty. Was pleasantly shocked when I found it without any rust on it. Nice!

overall this is a sharp and great pruner. I like to keep foldable pruner tucked away while roped in a tree. A lot of times I use a pruner as much as a chainsaw while in a tree to get ready to make a cut or set ropes to fell a cut. This works and is sharp. Japanese steel is always nice hard and SHARP. Blade is a little more flexible than my 2 FELCO pruners but it works. I DO LIKE 2 2 positions for the blade. Helps when up in a tree for sure. The blade lock works but makes my thumb hurts is I have to chock up on the handle a bit for a cut. My issue not yours tho LOL This is for cutting GREEN(LIVE) wood or rough cutting I guess for rough construction. This is NOT a woodworking saw really!! THIS BRAND MAKES GREAT wood working pull saws but this is not it nor for it. Great value for a pruner tho

This is really quality saw. I got it for woodworking. It has got a very comfortable handle, it opens up and closes like a switchblade. It cut through a piece of pine I had laying around in a couple of strokes. The teeth are pretty sharp out of the box. The shape gives it rigidity so it's easy to cut straight. The saw blade has a thin kerf so minimal material lost. When folded, it's safe to handle and is about 8" long. To close, there is a push button mechanism at the base of the saw blade.As a bonus feature, The blade is relatively flexible so it can also be used as a flush saw. However, the blade's teeth are splayed a bit so when flush sawing, it leaves a mark on the surface of the wood, so can't use it for fine finished furniture but still I can find uses for this for shop projects.Given how compact this saw is, I expect it will find a lot of use around my shop. I will probably keep it in the large pocket of my shop apron.
