Taskmaster folding saw

Kershaw began its foray into the knife business sometime during 1974. The company was originally based in Portland Oregon, but most early knives were manufactured in Japan. The first US manufacturing plant was opened in 1997 & the company currently offers knives made in the U.S., Japan, & China. Pete Kershaw (an ex Gerber salesman) started the business.

Let us know how it works once you've tried it out.

I have a similar Gerber saw that goes deer hunting with me every trip. It's great for removing those limbs that seem to always be in just the wrong place when you're hunting.

Good deal! Let us know how it works. It sure looks like it would be handy to pack with you on the mower for all these stupid Bradford and Cleveland pear trees whose low branches seem to grow over night around here!

Well.. It did an ok job.. A little slow but got the job done!! Seems the teeth were getting clogged with sap.. Would probably work better on dead/dry stuff.. BUT hey.. At least I got to use it!! ::tu:: ::tu:: John :D

I've found green evergreen trees are always a little tougher to saw because of the sticky sap.

What I forgot to mention: Solid lock up in the open and closed position.. Zero flex while sawing.. And I cleaned up the saw with a bath with Simple Green.. I use this stuff by the gallons.. Saw has a nice feel to it too.. Not cheesey if you know what I mean.. John :D

John I think you'll find it a very useful tool. I wouldn't get rid of my Gerber saw no way no how.
