This saw cut easily, but after about 2.5 months of moderate use, the little tab that hold the blade tight snapped off. This piece is not replaceable. Next time i will look for a saw that has parts that can be fixed, even if it costs me more in the short term.

From reading the other reviews on Fiskar saw's I assumed that this saw was of reasonable quality and "Made in Sweden." It couldn't have been more from the truth. The Fiskar's saw was exactly like the Chinese made generic bow saw's sold at your chain hardware store for about $7.00, the only difference being that the Fiskars name had been added, right above "Made in China". In my opinion, the idea that this product is built to last a life time is laughable. Held together by flimsey rivits that, even though new, looked ready to fall out. When actually using this product, it felt as flimsey as it looked.

I bought the SAME SAW two other reviewers are discrediting. I use mine regularly; it's always done a SUPER job for me; it's padded handle is comfortable, the blade is very aggressive and I've never seen or used a better saw or even knew they made a better one. For the price, what in the heck is there to complain about? If I'd paid $40-50 dollars for it, I'm not sure if I'd complain even then.

Yes, I agree. I should have examined this saw before I bought it instead of just looking at the brand name. The blade is held in by a little rivet and it fits like a mistake on the assembly line. I was going to go back to HD to see if the others were like this. But according to the other review, I guess thats how it comes.
