Sorry due to a rebranding this saw is no longer available. The rebrand is due to the major website hosting sites and payment process not liking our name. They think we are selling "weapons"🙄 I will be working on a new site for my other sharpening stuff but this saw will probably not return. To be honest its just too expensive to make. REAL carbon fiber (not fake Chinese stuff from Amazon) is expensive. So are the custom machined pieces that hold the blade. I constantly get people saying they can make them cheaper but then get sent pictures of their version and it involves duct tape and pvc. To make something that actually works and lasts is a different story. I am just not capable of scaling production to make them cheaper in order to meet demand. I may do a small run here or there for fun though.😊 Thanks for everyone who bought a one really appreciate it! QUICK DISCLAIMER ⬇️ Heres a video showing its true capabilities kzitem.info/news/bejne/tp2IwGujbqt3f6w This saw was designed for myself because I wanted a saw that actually worked, that was sub 4oz, that was capable of breaking down with no tools, or small parts to loose, and had readily available replacement blades off the shelf. Turns out some other people wanted them too. So we started selling them. It fits a very specific purpose. And for that purpose works very well, and will out cut much bigger saws. Anything can be done when you start adding weight (folding mechanisms, etc). But keeping it under 4oz while still providing all the other features is the tricky part. Especially since the blade accounts for half the weight! Combine this with the correct mora and you have a sub 8oz knife / saw combo😁 It is an ultra light piece of gear that does require some "skill" to use. Not unlike an ultralight dyneema tent, tarp, or an alcohol stove. I think if you have to ask "why?" then it may not be for you, and thats ok 👍 If you are a gram / oz counter then your in the right place 😉 The actual saw handle portion (the expensive part, not the blade) is covered by a lifetime warranty as long as we are in business. I am still using my original prototype with original blade that has cut CORDS of wood at this point! Thanks for taking the time to watch my video! It's always appreciated 🙏

Why not make handle a slightly larger diameter, so the saw blade would fit inside the handle and the end where it actually goes to attach to the saw just has a slight taper... It could be made into the fitting itself and not the carbon fiber.. that way it's a self-contained unit.

The handle is perfectly round , small diameter , with no blade to handle orientation . Friction tape could be used to increase the handle diameter and make it more comfortable for long term use . I like the performance of this saw very much and there is no doubt a polymer handle could be injection molded for it . I need to order one of these and see how it goes . Thanks for a very unique design with appears to have structural integrity . All the best from a mechanical engineer .

The cordage works well. Its dyneema and has a 650lb break strength. Ive never broken one. Wire doesn't work well due to it having memory. You cant use different size sticks and once tensioned its very hard to un tension. In the beginning we offered a friction tape wrap for more grip but found most people didnt want it due to adding weight. The handle has a surprising amount of grip due to the way the carbon is wrapped, almost like snake scales. Plus the tensioning stick adds a t handle. Just some insight 🙂

Very innovative thinking to produce this handle. The concept is useful and shouldn't be abandoned because of technical production difficulties. The "ultralight" requirement for backpacking constrains the design. Slightly heavier tool handle options can be designed with lightweight and hollow configurations. The weight of extra steel blades is actually a serious limiting factor. 1 long sabre blade and several jigsaw blades are a more adaptable carry option.

I saw this video last spring and brought a Diablo blade with the teeth on butt end of the blade ground down enough to not cut through the bicycle innertube that I wrapped it with to function as a grip.

Not really due to the tensioning stick. And once it's started the cut keeps it in line. Its made for two handed use. It lacks the mass needed @3.8oz to be great for single handed use. As one hand is needed to put pressure into the cut. Just one of the quarks of a 3.8oz saw🙂

@@knifepointgear5851 These people won't be happy until you make it ribbed for her pleasure. No need to improve it, the design is simple, light weight and not easily made because of the carbon fiber. Yes its expensive, but its a niche product for ultralight weight backpackers. Consider making a lower tier model that weighs more and is less expensive out of aluminum, then it will be more accessible to campers and casual hikers. Well done with this saw, can't wait to see what you make next. Subscribed and 👍.

At the time the video was filmed we didnt have an msrp yet. Current prices can be found on our site www.knifepointgear.com Another reason prices are sometimes not included is because once online these videos can not be edited. Prices can change due to component prices and whatnot. Just for future reference

For sure! If your cutting bone id use a different blade with more teeth per inch. We can supply a better blade for that purpose if needed🙂

Wrong, I did find a lighter backpacking survival saw...The one I made myself! It only weighs 2.78oz (79g)! Unlike your heavier one, my complete blade packs away safely within the handle, so there is no need to use a separate teeth guard, or to use a separate poly bag to store it in to stop it ripping through a back packs mesh pocket. It's over 18" long when assembled and just under 9.5 inches long when packed away, small enough to fit in my trouser pocket So I guess I will have to start calling mine the lightest saw in the world now. :)

Except ours will outcut yours😂 Ours is 21" fully assembled and has a 12" blade. You have to compair apples to apples. With a 9" blade ours is 2.65oz and that put it at 18.5" long. We are always open to a saw durability and speed race here on youtube 👍Thats why we call ours the "lightest most powerful" because it is.

Awsome video and great suggestions! You might consider diabo fleam ground high carbon steel. It should cut faster for a long time and might be worth the less effort and just replace when it becomes as hard to cut as the carbide tip.

I don’t have one, plan on getting one, however have you considered cutting a small slot in the aluminum and using a washer to tension?

I did...the aluminum will gull from the washer. The piece could be made from stainless just like the blade end but it would add about an once. I wanted to keep it under 4oz. In a pinch you can use a tent peg too. The wood works best though🙂

knifepointgear so the tension of the rope pulling the stick/blade together keeps the stick from “backing out” while it’s being used?

Yes, once tensioned it definitely cant go anywhere. The dyneema cord doesn't stretch whatsoever. So its very sold in use.

2:16 ``I decided to do another cut`` But I either did not film it, did not use the footage or lied about that, because I just replayed the same clip twice. 1:57 first cut 2:23 second cut Nice design, I'm just very picky on stuff like that. (yeah, I do get called an asshole a lot)
