In this video I take a look at the Bibury Folding Saw—one of the weirder “survival tool” designs I’ve run across. It’s a collapsable / breakdown style saw made from an aluminum alloy, so it’s lightweight and corrosion resistant, and the whole thing packs down small enough to make sense for a backpack, a vehicle kit, or just as a compact camp tool. Even without instructions, it’s easy to assemble, which is a big deal when you’re tired, cold, or trying to get something done quickly. The big issue for me is the blades. It comes with two proprietary blades, and I couldn’t find replacements anywhere. In my opinion that’s poor planning—replacement blades should be readily available, especially for a tool that’s clearly meant to be used and abused. Sure, you could probably make your own blades work by adding a rivet or pin at each end to hold tension, but that’s not a great “out of the box” plan. If Bibury fixed the blade availability (and honestly added an integrated ferro rod and striker), this could be a seriously superior survival/bushcraft tool.
