Lynx 3-Foot One Man Crosscut Saw - Premium Hand Saw for Camping, Woodworking & Outdoor Survival

This is a beautiful and solid piece of equipment. Please allow me to address some concerns others seem to be having:Supplementary Handle: Yes, if you just attach the handle and insert the pin, your handle with not be stable, and your pin will fall out. That's not how it works. Once the handle is around the blade and the pin is inserted, TURN the handle clockwise and it will tighten completely onto the blade. Once tightened, the handle will not move, the pin will not fall out, and you will have a one-man saw you can use with confidence.Won't cut hard woods: The first log I tested her on was an 18-inch diameter oak. Did it cut through it like butter? No. It's not a light saber. But properly sharpened it will do the job (see next point!)It's not sharpened: No, it's not. That's your job, because you know the work you're going to be doing (hardwood, softwood) and how you saw. This saw has a Great American tooth pattern which is fast and easy to sharpen. There are great resources online to determine the correct tooth geometry for both the crowns and end teeth.The saw binds: With teeth and gullet geometry, (and a smooth stroke) you'll have no problems.
