This review is from: Gerber 46036 E.A.B. Saw 2 Blades, Coarse+Fine with Sheath (Tools & Home Improvement)

I had one of these that was fantastic. My mom saw me pruning with it and was impressed. I promptly gave it to her as I figured I would just order another (which I did). The replacement is NOT AT ALL AS GOOD. The blade doesn't cut as well. The older one even well used cut like a dream compared to the replacement that was brand new. Old one was made in usa, replacement was made in prc. I have no clue whether that is the reason but I am now looking for an NOS old one everywhere I go.

3.0 out of 5 stars Gerber Saw, December 21, 2010

I purchased one of these as a gift after having one for years. My Gerber saw is made in the United States; however I immediately noticed this saw was made in CHINA. My U.S. version has been a very dependable and quality product. It is light and has remained sharp over many years of use, both as a bone and a wood saw. I keep the blades clean after use and they have held up very nicely. Very disappointed this Gerber product is no longer manufactured in the United States though. "Made in the USA" is very important to me; especially when purchasing outdoor/hunting equipment. Would have been willing to pay more for a USA made product.

I've used this saw on all my backpacking trips for the past 4-5 years. It's fantastic, and I've definitely been able to cut through whole trees/logs close to the 6-inch diameter (length of blade).

For those of you wanting the weight specs:
5.1oz Saw and one blade
1.0oz Nylone case

The blade folds into the plastic handle quite well, without leaving any sharp edges exposed, so you could definitely pack the saw without the case if desired.
