One year of use: I wanted a better saw for general outdoors use and in my hunting / bushcraft / survival pack. I’m responsible for maintaining several hundred acres of woodland and I’m outdoors all the time. When I go via ATV, a chainsaw, an axe, AND this guy are always with me. When I’m on foot, the Gomboy is always in my pack. I’ve got several folding saws; Bahco, Fiskars, Corona, Felco. But this one seems to be always be in my pack. If I change packs, I swap saws so this one is with me. It’s a few grams heavier and a little larger than the others, but after a year of use, I can’t fault it in any way. Things to consider: if you’re looking to pare grams, a smaller saw with all-plastic handle will be a bit lighter - though not much. But I want durability and assurance it will ALWAYS work. In the Gomboy line, you can get smaller (210, 240), but I’ve already got several smaller saws. I wanted to be able to easily cut larger firewood as well as e.g. smaller poles for shelter/furniture construction. And I’m willing to put up with another ounce or two in the pack to get the durability and versatility. Never have regretted it yet. On tooth size, my experience is that the 10TPI (actually, appears to be 10 teeth per 30mm.) is a good compromise. Coarser teeth cut faster in green/soft wood (pine, spruce, green hardwood), finer teeth give smoother (and MAYBE faster) cut in hard/very dry wood (oak, maple, etc.). 10 seems to be a good all-around compromise for me. Cuts plenty fast for my purposes, though the cuts aren’t quite in-shop, power-saw furniture-grade. But that’s not what I’m looking for; I want to get the limbs / logs cut and be done. Plenty good enough cuts for backwoods purposes. You will smile every time you use this guy. Building a log cabin? Get a Katanaboy or a big western-style push-cut crosscut saw. NEED lighter weight (really?!) then consider Pocketboy or a Corona. Wanna’ be SURE you can build a shelter or large fire no matter what the conditions? Get this guy.Oh, and one other thing. If you are considering true long-term wilderness living, you’ll want something much larger ... and then consider a western-style push-cut saw. You can easily learn to refile and sharpen the teeth when it gets dull. Japanese pull-cut saws such as Gomboy or Katanaboy would be, I think, pretty much impossible to sharpen by hand when (if ?!) it gets dull. But Silky’s steel is so good, it will take you a very long time to get it dull.
