Corona Razor Tooth 7-inch
Score: 78/100Rankings
The Bahco Laplander is a compact, lightweight folding pruning saw designed for bushcraft, camping, and trail maintenance with efficient push-pull performance. While it offers clean cuts on small wood, it is slower on thick green wood and lacks the speed of specialized backpacking saws. It is ideal for backpackers and campers needing a reliable tool for processing branches up to 5 inches.
The Corona RS16120 is a highly portable 7-inch folding pruning saw designed for light tree trimming and outdoor activities. Its RazorTOOTH technology offers exceptional cutting speed, though it is limited to branches under 3 inches. It is best suited for hikers, campers, and home gardeners needing a compact tool for small branches.

Professional reviewers praise the Bahco Laplander for its reliability, precise mechanics, and superior wet grip, calling it an invaluable tool for bushcraft and camping. While it offers clean cuts and efficient push-pull performance on small to medium wood, experts note it is slower on thick green wood compared to curved alternatives like Silky or Corona.
Everyday users commonly praise the saw's lightweight portability, sharpness out-of-the-box, and secure locking mechanism, noting it handles small wood with minimal binding. Recurring complaints include slower cutting speeds on green or thick material, handle slipperiness in very wet conditions, and the blade's length limitation for larger tasks.
