Bahco 396-LAP Laplander Folding Pruning Bushcraft Saw Issued by NATO and Ray Mears

This is actually my second bacho, I purchased it to replace my old one which I had for many many years but finally needed replacing “due to being lost”. My original one came out on every camping trip, which was usually 3 times per month all year, give or take the odd week, so extremely reliable and durable saws 👌🏻

Absolutly love this product. Feels proper durable and not cheap. The folding action feels secure and solid. This doesnt feel in the slight but flimsy and will be making its way into my trekking gear for wild camping in Scotland. Im really happy with this.

Great product

Spot on, very hand and sharp saw

Easily the best saw i have bought. I can't believe it took me so long to bite the bullet and spend a little extra. Cuts through pretty much anything, including some really hard pear wood and old apple branches. Will cut through more than it claims with a bit of Care and the strap is still in great condition after a season of hard use. Not much slower than some powered tools and more accurate

I have an allotment so have had the F180 for a long time but recently got into bushcraft and walking stick making. So often, you see a stick and wish you had a saw so I got a laplander as that seems to be the go to for bushcraft. The reason for not getting one before is the lack of suppliers selling replacement blades in the bahco, the silky being much easier (try Ray Mears shop for bahco blades). The laplander is a lovely weight and the handle rounded rather than a squarish handle like the F180. Both have a tough rubber coating on a hard plastic handle. The blade locks shut and locks open but only in one position, the silky doesn't lock shut but has two positions. The button on the laplander, a small button on the side which is ideal if right handed, the silky, a much larger sprung button on top but prone to be caught whilst cutting and knocking the blade in to the other position. The laplander blade is quite tough with a coating over it, the F180 being uncoated carbon steel. Price wise, depending where you look, they're about the same price, maybe the silky a little more. For me though, there is one massive difference and of course, that's the cut. For what I really want, I.e. walking sticks and pruning, the F180 is head and shoulders above the laplander. A finer cut and much quicker, I feel the coating being the issue on the laplander making it thicker. If I was in fact concentrating on bushcraft and just wanted wood for fire or something similar, this would be the laplanders time to shine as I feel it is the tougher saw. If I went a little further and concentrated particularly on the walking stick vein, as the diameter of the wood is never much more than 25mm/1 inch, pay a little more and get a Silky Pocket Boy 130.

Small and light, but strong and veryc capable. Great purchase, very happy

Great little saw, easy to use, foldable which makes gardening easier

Använde den på senaste bushcraft, och den var helt fantastisk💯

The best folding saw you will ever own. Worth the money. Locks closed and locks open. Blade is perfectly sharp.

Die Bahco 396 Lap Laplander Klapp-Astsäge hatte ich beim Wildcamping in Norwegen dabei und sie hat mich voll überzeugt. Die Säge ist kompakt, leicht zu transportieren und nimmt im Gepäck kaum Platz weg. Das Sägeblatt ist sehr scharf und schneidet Holz schnell und sauber – deutlich effizienter, als man es von der Größe erwarten würde. Gerade für Outdoor-Einsätze wie Camping, Bushcraft oder Reisen ist sie bestens geeignet. Die Verarbeitung wirkt robust und zuverlässig. Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis ist top. Für diesen Preis bekommt man eine leistungsfähige und langlebige Klappsäge. Fazit: Sehr scharfe, kompakte und zuverlässige Astsäge mit hervorragendem Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Klare Empfehlung für Outdoor- und Camping-Einsätze.

Ottima👍😉

Es una sierra muy fuerte, 22 cm de largo plegada, ligera, y muy útil. Es una herramienta muy usada por los profesionales de la jardinería por su excelente calidad y buen funcionamiento. No puede faltar en tu caja de herramientas, no compres sierras chinas, gasta tú dinero en cosas de calidad hechas en tu país o fuera de tu país dentro de la Comunidad Europea. Lo Chi es barato pero al final sale muy caro.
