Oh, I forgot about this saw... It would be fairly easy to carry and cuts well. It will manage moderately big stuff with it's 17" blade (Note that I am not sure if they might call it an 18" blade). I may have to rig up a blade guard and set up a little back pack for those times I want to take more cutting capacity than my Corona 7" folding saw. The 7" one is a great saw, but obviously limited by size. This 17" is probably a good place for me to draw the line since I don't want to lug the chainsaw any more.

I have had this saw for a number of years and am not sure if they still make the same wooden handle model. They have a plastic handle one on their web page and I see that it costs a lot more than I think I paid. I've had good luck in general with Corona stuff including their pruning shears.
