Outdoor Edge Flip N' Zip
Score: 75/100Rankings
The Fiskars 10 Inch POWER TOOTH Sliding Carabiner Saw is a highly portable pruning tool designed for quick, belt-accessible cuts. Its main limitation is the reduced cutting capacity compared to larger saws, making it less suitable for heavy timber. It is best suited for homeowners and outdoor workers who prioritize convenience and portability.
The Outdoor Edge Flip N' Zip is a compact, lightweight folding saw designed for hunters and outdoorsmen, featuring a 4.4-inch 65Mn spring-steel blade with triple-ground teeth for aggressive cutting of bone, wood, and hide. Its ultra-lightweight design and secure lock-back mechanism make it highly portable for field use. It is best suited for hunters needing a portable saw for field dressing game or trimming small limbs.
