What else can you ask? - I was looking for something more efficient for cutting fire wood and shelter products in the woods. I have used an axe and a hand axe for cutting these items in the past but now that I am older, they get tiresome. So I decided to try a folding saw for ease of carrying and use. I liked the size of this, I don't think I needed anything longer. For a first folding saw, I didn't want to buy something like a Silkey yet. Maybe later. We recently had a storm, power was still out and some limbs were cracked and hanging waiting to fall. I could have gotten the chainsaw, but wanted to check out the Bahco instead. I was impressed. The angle from the handle to the blade looked odd but felt god in the hand. The blade lock was good, easy to lock open and close. The blade was quite aggressive and sawed through those limbs very well. Not hard on my hand or arm at all. Very smooth cutting. It's a good size for me and what I need it to do. Cut quality is quite good and leaves the cut surfaces quite smooth. Not a big deal for firewood but that may be more important for other tasks. Handle seems strong and grippy, hinge point seems strong, durability does not appear to be a problem either. Blade slices through wood well. The only co nab cern I may have is with the blade thickness. It seems a little thin but then this is my first folding saw and I had no problems with removing any limbs or cutting them into garbage can length pieces. Not sure how they temper these blades but seem to do a good job with heat dissipation. Glad I decided to buy this. Review: Great compact saw - Awesome saw, light weight, compact, perfect for camping or backpacking. Saw is sharp, can't say how long it will hold an edge. Good purchase, I am happy with it. ## Features - No Fabric - Imported - READY FOR ANY CUT: Built for hunters, campers, and survivalists, this folding saw tackles green/dry wood, bone, and plastic.

The Corona 10" is excellent, cuts great, it's 3" longer than the 7" (not 9") Bahco blade, and it's curved which is a big advantage cutting curved logs/branches. It's also a little longer and a little heavier (9.5 oz). If you're serious enough about cutting wood to justify carrying a little larger saw, or you are car camping/biking/kayaking and weight is just not crucial, bring the Corona 10". If a slightly lighter and smaller saw are more important to you then the Bahco has the advantage. Either will cut great. For home firewood/landscaping use, get the largest/longest saw that's comfortable. Corona also makes a 14" version and Fiskars makes a great 13" lightweight wood saw. For backpacking and hiking the Bahco would be the more compact choice. **Q: Can you replace the blade on this unit?** A: Yes, you can replace the blade in this saw. The Bahco blade is held in to the handle with a large Philips screw on the locking button side, and a locking nut in a captive slot on the reverse side. I haven't seen the exact blade used in the Laplander saw listed separately for sale here in the US, but it's a common replacement overseas, especially in Europe.NOTE: The 396HP blade is for the 396HP 7-1/2" saw, the 396JT blade is for the 396JT Japanese Tooth style saw. Both of these blades are NOT the original blade for the 396-LAP 8" Laplander saw.

I dont have means of exact measures at this time. I would guess its about an 8 in blade and 9 inch handle that it folds into. So the closed length is actually 9 in. **Q: Does it cut both forward & back?** A: I have not yet used it in the field, but by looking at the teeth, it looks like the cutting movement is back only? I could be wrong.. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works as advertised!

Saw is sharp, can't say how long it will hold an edge. Good purchase, I am happy with it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lightweight and sturdy *by J***S on December 27, 2024* I bought this saw back in 2019 and 5 years later it’s still going strong. I originally got it to replace a backpacking 21 inch collapsible Sven-Saw, which is a very nice fancy one and very compact but, a little awkward to assemble in the cold climate. I decided to simplify the backpacking saw and after countless comparisons with many others out there I went with the Bahco 396. I have zero regrets and love the thing. Compact, lightweight, blade locks in place and very comfortable to grip. I like it so much I started using it for pruning tree limbs. I avoid using it beyond a 4 inch cross diameter limb due to the blade length only being 7 1/2 inches. Anything more than 4 inches you’ll be sawing an undesirable amount of back and for motion. I’ve used this saw on backpacking trips and for pruning and it still cuts through wood with ease. This thing has shown to be very durable and for a reasonable price compared to other big name “high end” brands. I like the little toothy beast and highly recommend it. I like it so much I bought another one as a backup and to keep it in my bug out bag for a “just in case” situation. ## Frequently Bought Together - Bahco 396-LAP Laplander Folding Saw, 9-Inch Blade, 7 TPI, Green - Morakniv Companion Fixed Blade Outdoor Knife with Stainless Steel Blade, 4.1-Inch, Military Green - bayite 4 Inch Survival Ferrocerium Drilled Flint Fire Starter, Ferro Rod Kit with Paracord Landyard Handle and Striker, 4"(Long) x 3/8"(Diameter) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/1508035-bahco-bah396lap-9-laplander-folding-saw-for-trail-maintenance-wood](https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/1508035-bahco-bah396lap-9-laplander-folding-saw-for-trail-maintenance-wood) --- *Product available on Desertcart Cyprus* *Store origin: CY* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
