Cool bone saw

Which folding saw would be the best bone saw out there? IS there one that could change blades to give you a wood saw as well?

Thanks in advance, TJ

I'm not saying it's the best, but it's very good. I use a Wyoming Saw. It breaks down completely and comes with two wood blades and two bone blades. When assembled it looks like a little bow saw. Comes with it's own carrying case and takes up little room. The only disadvantage is it may be a bit heavier than others, but it is also a safer, and better performing saw. I got the smaller one of the two models.

Thumbs up

I like the Gerber Ex-change a Blade Saw, it zips through bone and wood. It has a wood blade and a bone blade carried in a belt pouch.

I have never found that I needed a bone saw when hunting, but I almost always have my Case XX folder. In the sheath, are a drop point blade, a filet blade, and a great little saw blade. I use it for trimming branches around the tree stand.

I mostly don't need a bone saw either when I'm Hunting, but since it already comes in the case, I take it along. I't great to zip though a skull plate of a whitetail back at camp.

I agree with MT Pockets: you can't go wrong with the Wyoming Saw. I use the wood blades all the time for fire wood and my buddy used the bone blade for his deer a couple years ago and said it worked great.

Cool Wyoming saw

I was leaning toward the lightweight Gerber exchange-a-blade saw but a guy at SW told me the blades had too much flex in them and they didn't work well on elk bone. I got a Wyoming saw instead. I'll give y'all a report when I get my elk. Thank you for the help.

Good hunting, TJ

Only thing I carry is a little 3" T handled saw to open up the animal for cooling but sure it wouldn't work on wood.

I use either a tomahawk for large bones or my KaBar for rib and smaller bones on whitetail.
