Buddy has one and we used it last fall for a few deer, it worked just fine. It works just like a chain saw(no not the gas kind), slicing a thin line with minimal resistence very quickly. I will say having to thread the handle though the first time made me wantto reach for theSagen Pelvic Saw, but by #2 and #3 it wasn't that big of a concern. After 2 deer the chain it uses was severely kinked but it proceeded to work for more deer. It cleans up suprisely well I thought.

All in all not a bad product. I still prefer my Sagen, more elbow grease required but operates just fine and no need to thread the needle!

ccm the Segan Saw I mentioned cuts a very nice line, little mess and a snap to clean to due its fine tooth design. It also has a T-Handle and protected tip to prevent puncture...it is made specifically for this job and works very well. I noticed in a mail order Catalogue Gerber has come out with one similar to the Sagen saw,as well. They might be exactly what your looking for. The NAP zip saw works, I justprefer my old sagen.

Strange. For some reason or another I have been very intrested in these lately. (I can't imagine why).

Sounds like the ticket. Anyone know how much $$$?

Matt, 10-15 bucks. They work if you like to split the pelvis in the field! Maybe it pinned in the advertise spot on the top of the page has something to do with your sudden interest.

CCM, I looked up the Gerber and don't believe it as good as the Sagen. It appears to have coarse teeth, so would assume it would behave very much like the leatherman. Also it does not have the protected tip and was near double the cost of the Sagen.

I have used several kinds of saws over the years and began using a Sagen about 5 or 6 years ago. They work great on the pelvis or rib cage and are very reasonably priced. Plus the fact that the bumper on it prevents puncturing the gut.
