The Take-Down Buck Saw
One of Trail Blazer’s most successful products, the world-renowned Take-Down Buck Saw is a lightweight collapsible Buck Saw with a Swedish steel wood blade and aluminium framing. In 1995, Trail the Take-Down Buck Saw received the Source Canada Award (excellence in Manufacturing) and it is now available across the world in locations including Mountain Equipment Co-op, Home Hardware Stores, Lee Valley Tools, L.L. Bean and Wal-Mart.
“Your Take-Down Buck saw is a great product and has out performed many other packable saws I have tried. With the design change to keep the blade from cutting into the tubing, it will likely be the perfect saw for my use. Great products and great service are hard to come by these days so I will be sure to share my good experience with Trail Blazer Products with friends and family.” ~Ben M., Wisconsin
“I spend a great deal of time in the Algonquin interior and would never portage without one of these units. If you’re into the back country destinations, you MUST have one of these.” ~ John., Ontario
“I’ve been using this on trips since 1997 and it has yet to fail me. It’s made of good sturdy aluminum, assembles well and doesn’t flex when in use. Assembly comes second nature after awhile, and the blade is very durable, takes some abuse and can be sharpened with the right 3 corner file.
The retaining pin that holds the disassembled unit together is the glitch. Lose it and the unit will still work perfectly; but you’ll need to find some way to keep the parts nested. Overall, a true reflection of quality, well thought out Canadian ingenuity. I’ve even used the thing to drive tent stakes into hard ground here ‘on da rock.’” ~ Jerry, Newfoundland
