In modern times, it is an outdoor style that allows you to become more one with nature. If you separate the words, you get "bush" and "craft," but when you combine them, the meaning changes to "bushcraft" = wisdom for life. Long before we were born, our ancestors lived in harmony with nature. They had the wisdom to live with the forest. Bushcraft is an "old and new style" that reminds us of that. Bushcraft techniques start with knifework and firemaking.

Bush Craft Pocket Bush Saw Olive Drab Tan Pocket Bush Saw Replacement Blade

The pocket bush saw was created by a powerful collaboration between Takuya Souma, president of Bush Craft Inc., who is familiar with the field of bushcraft, the professional tool manufacturing know-how of the saw brand Tenju, and Okada Metal Industries Co., Ltd., the leading saw blade manufacturer Z-Saw. This is a saw dedicated to serious bushcraft.

This pocket bush saw boasts a high level of sharpness despite its compact size, making it ideal for use in the field, such as outdoors and camping. The saw blade is carefully made by Okada Metal Industries, allowing you to cut wood smoothly. In addition, the blade is removable, making it easy to replace and extremely convenient to use.

This pocket bush saw is very useful for cutting wood when camping or trekking in the forest. It is also recommended to carry it as an emergency tool as it will be useful in the event of a disaster. It is lightweight and easy to carry, making it ideal for outdoor enthusiasts and those who enjoy survival games.

In addition, the Bush Craft brand has developed tools that meet the needs of users, with experts in bushcraft knowledge involved in their development. The handle fits comfortably in the hand and has a firm grip, making it easy to use for long periods of time without getting tired.

High-performance domestic blades used by professionals

Domestic high-performance blade "Tenju"

"Microclams" applied to the blade using a special technique

There are many different types of saw blades. Leaving aside the special topics of bamboo and the like, saw blades for cutting wood can be broadly divided into three types: woodworking blades, pruning blades, and felling blades.
A woodworking saw is used to cut dry wood.
A saw for cutting living trees for felling and pruning.
Among these, pruning is a particularly delicate task as it involves shaping the tree in order to help it grow.
So, what kind of blade does this pocket bush saw have?It uses a blade that was made in collaboration with the Tenju brand and has been sharpened for pruning.
We will explain the reason why. In fact, Tenju is highly regarded as a pruning saw and is widely used mainly in orchards.
There are three reasons for this: 1) It has a sharp edge and cuts cleanly with little pressure. 2) It cuts beautifully and is less likely to damage wood. 3) It is good for cutting large quantities of wood neatly in a limited amount of time. The secret to achieving these three features at a high level lies in the special clam processing and thin blade thickness that only Tenju can achieve. The blade is 0.6mm thick, and the clams are so tiny they are not discernible to the naked eye, with an ultra-fine clam processing width of 0.05 to 0.075mm per side. I call this "micro clams."

This delicacy, possible only because the knife is made in Japan, is the secret to its sharp cutting edge and beautiful cuts.
There are other saws with blades that are said to be smooth and produce beautiful cuts, but these are made using a technique called "not adding a clam and making the spine thinner," which tends to make the blade itself expensive.

At Tenju, we use special production equipment to mass-produce blades made from these ultra-delicate micro clams, which is why we are able to offer this quality at this price.

Tenju allows for quick cutting with little force, resulting in beautiful cuts, making it ideal for promoting tree health.
A clean cut makes it easier for callus to form after pruning, which prevents the entry of germs through the cut and prevents damage or death to the tree.

The Japan Bushcraft Association teaches callus formation and correct pruning methods in its "Craft Basic" seminars, but in Japan, it is also called "meat pile" and acts like a "scab" on the tree. If the cut is clean, callus formation will be more certain and much faster.

When you take a branch from a living tree, you no longer have to use a blade with a general purpose blade called an "all-purpose blade" to cut it roughly. The pocket bush saw is so smooth that you may not feel like it is cutting, but rest assured that it actually cuts better than any other saw.

Although the blade is sharpened for pruning, this pocket bush saw uses a straight blade because it is easy to use for detailed crafting.

It's the size of a folding knife. It weighs just 70g, so it's lighter than a knife and you won't even notice it in your pocket. The blade is 100mm long, and the effective cutting edge is only 90mm. The more you use it, the sharper and smaller the blade tends to become, and the same is true for this saw. Considering its specialized use for woodcraft by bushcrafters and its high-performance blade, this is really enough. The most frequently used materials are about 20 to 30mm in diameter.

If you are building a shed or a fire reflector using thick logs, it is quicker and easier to use a bushcraft saw chain instead of a saw, and it is lighter overall, but having a dedicated tool that is easy to use for fine work will save you time and effort.

Can be operated quickly and safely with one hand

If the size is like a knife, the opening and closing structure is also finished in the same way. The opening and closing mechanism was inspired by Spyderco, which I am also a fan of. The brand became famous when it was adopted by the Everest climbing team.

The blade has a thumb hole for one-handed opening. Spyderco has this mechanism so that you can open the knife with one hand even while clinging to a wall and holding it at three points. The blade lock mechanism is a "lockback type," so it can be locked safely and securely without being accidentally released during use.

If you are a serious outdoorsman who is used to handling knives, you will already be familiar with this opening and closing mechanism and will be able to use it without any discomfort.

It can also be used as a fire-starting tool

As a characteristic of the Bush Craft Inc. brand, it can also be used as a fire starter. The bend on the blade can be used as a striker for metal matches. It can be used in either open or closed states. Since it is made of high hardness carbon steel, it can also be used as a flint striker when the blade is closed. Not only can it be used with natural minerals such as agate, pyrite, and obsidian, which have been used since the Stone Age, but if you get the hang of it, you can also create sparks from roadside stones.

We will explain why we chose "repurposed" instead of "general purpose."

For example, a car is a tool for transporting people, and its main performance is its driving performance. However, if you increase the number of passengers and the loading capacity to make it a minivan in order to increase its versatility, the driving performance will drop significantly. However, audio, which is almost unrelated to driving performance, can create a space for high-quality audio listening without compromising driving performance.

Even with a pocket bush saw, if you think about its versatility as a saw, it becomes an all-purpose saw, and it ends up being half-baked as a dedicated saw. (Just like the saying goes, "all-purpose is useless.")

However, when it comes to "converting to a completely different use," it is possible to add completely different elements while maintaining the original performance.

This is a Japanese-made saw with four specialized features for serious bushcrafters. It is a unique bushcraft tool that can also be used to start fires.
