The folding saw is carbon steel and well made.

Thats one shop I haven't really taken a good look at, primarily as its not on my major rat runs, but now the weather is getting better I can see myself getting on the bike and getting down there to check a few things out. The only real problem that I can see with them is that they don't have any real uniformity of what cool stuff they have in stock, so you got to get stuff while its hot rather than making an informed decision and then buying if the price is right. Its a bit kinda market stally in that respect, but some of their tinned stuff is good.

Just brought 3 of the folding saws and initial impressions are that it is ok. Obviously I can't comment on the longevity of the blade but as all three together cost only just above half the price of a Bahco and a fraction of a Silky I'm thinking it can't be too bad. The blade is removable and while I haven't taken it apart it looks to be the same fitting as a Bahco .
