High Carbon Steel

The Hälsing blade is made from a high carbon steel with a black oxidation and a clear coat that reduces the risk of rust. These blades have excellent sharpness and edge retention properties. They also have great ductility, making them a great choice for heavy-duty use.

Versatility with a 7 TPI Blade

With a teeth pitch of 7 TPI (teeth per inch) these saws can handle both green and dry wood, as well as softwood and hardwood. It is a versatile compromise for all your outdoor needs. These saws are also capable of cutting through other materials such as plastic and bone. But do remember that bone is quite abrasive and will wear down any blade more quickly than wood.

Ease and Efficiency with a 3-phased Grind

Our saws feature a 3-phased grind that saw on the pull, i.e. when you pull the saw towards you. This gives you more control, minimizes the risk of buckling and puts less strain on both you and the saw. The teeth are hardened to 62 HRC for a durable sharpness. Our tooth geometry also has more spacious gullets which helps to shed sawdust and mulch efficiently, keeping the cutting path clear and reducing drag.

Clean Cuts with a Concave Blade Profile

Unlike saws with set teeth, our blades instead feature a concave grind along the side of the blade to prevent binding. This produces very clean cuts. While set teeth will leave marks on the wood surface parallel to the cut, our teeth are flush with the blade, resulting in fine, smooth surfaces. This design is ideal for tasks like pruning trees, where a clean cut is crucial for the tree’s ability to protect itself and heal effectively.

"It has taken outdoor saws to a new level"

Backpack-Friendly

Our foldable saw is designed with adventure in mind. They are developed to be compact and portable and to fit easily into your backpack without taking up too much valuable space. When folded, the blade is sheathed, protecting not only the blade but also you and your gear. The blade locks securely in the folded position, ensuring safe storage and preventing any accidental wear or damage.

A Robust Handle Made with American Oak

Our handles are designed with a timeless style that echoes centuries of hand tool traditions and craftsmanship. The oak is sustainably sourced in the USA and offers a natural tactile feel. A pronounced stop at the back ensures a secure grip and efficient power transfer as you pull the saw. Each handle is finished with linseed oil, a traditional treatment that protects the surface and enhances the wood’s rich tones and natural beauty. Please remember that since wood has natural variations in color and grain, each handle has a unique character and might not look exactly like in our images.

Each Saw, a Unique Story

We love old tools and have designed our saws to last, and to age with grace. With time, each saw will tell a unique story, bearing the marks of your journeys and adventures. We hope that someone will love it and care for it long into the future and to keep track of its roots, we have etched an individual number on each saw, documenting its origin. You’ll find the number where the blade meets the handle, and hopefully this will be part of a, perhaps small, but great story.

Choose Size

Our foldable saws are available in in two lengths. The shorter can easily saw branches up to about 4” / 10 cm in diameter and can manage 5.5” / 14 cm. The long saw can easily go through about 5” / 13 cm and can manage 8” / 20 cm.

The larger is more efficient since you can saw with longer strokes. The shorter is of course lighter and more space efficient during transportation but both will fit well in most backpacks. Both can als be carried in a suitable pocket, but in that case the shorter is certainly to prefer.

Choose Model

Our two foldable saws Ljusnan and Hälsing are all based on the same design, the big differences between them are in the choice of materials.

Ljusnan has a stainless steel blade and a dark walnut handle. The stainless steel has great anti corrosion properties and is ideal for tough environments and for those who rather spend their time in the woods instead of on gear maintenance.

Hälsing has a traditional high carbon steel blade with an anti-corrosion coating and a robust oak handle. The carbon steel has great sharpness, edge retention properties and ductility, making them a great choice for more frequent and heavy usage.

Care and Maintanance

Keep the blade clean and dry while not in use. Apply oil to the blade for extra
protection, especially if you have exposed it to harsh environments such as by the sea.

If mulch and saw dust gets stuck between the teeth, it’s easier to get
rid of it while it’s fresh, it tends to get stuck harder when it dries.

The saw can be completely dismantled if needed for cleaning or maintenance.
No special tools are required to open the saw, only two torxs T25 screwdrivers.
Please remember that the wood can expand and contract due to changes in
humidity, and this can affect the fitting of the different parts, so we
recommend that you avoid dismantling the saw unless it’s necessary. If you
dismantle the saw, make sure to put it back together again directly afterwards.

For the handles we’ve chosen American oak because  it is a hardwoods, yet still a natural material. We only treat it with linseed oil to preserve the natural feel, don’t
hesitate to apply more when needed.

Do not store or attempt to dry the saw close to a heat source, the rapid
changes in temperature and humidity can cause unnecessary expansions and contractions in the wood.

The best hand saw I own!

This saw feels and looks amazing. The handle feels good in my hand, the action to open and close is smooth, and the blade is dangerously sharp out of the box. The quality is apparent, and I believe this one will only get better with age.

Impressed!

Very impressed with the "bite" of the saw. Tried it on 5-6-inch branches of fallen pine, spruce, and birch—all like cutting butter. The black finishing is not a paint layer but feels inherent to the material. I assume for rust protection, but it seems to be reducing friction too as it is super blank. The feeling of a warm wooden handle just gives you joy. I also loosened the axis-screw a tiny bit so the saw could be open/closed one handed like a fastback folder—just watch your fingers; it may not be for everyone.

Super sharp!

I've had my saw for about a week now and I absolutely love it. The distinct *click* it makes when I fold and unfold ut (you can do it quietly too) gives me pure satisfaction. This is quality 👍

I did hurt myself on it when I tried folding it while driving my car though. Turns out the teeth are super sharp or my skin super thin.
