Shark 10-2337 Folding CutsAll Saw

As an avid gardener who maintains a densely-planted 1 acre property single-handedly, absolutely must have a Shark Cuts-all at all times. Hands-down the best too I have found for a wide variety of pruning needs-- and this will cut PVC pipe as well. Now that I've grown habituated to having a folding saw, I will never consider anything else. The Shark cuts better and stays sharp longer than any previous saw I have used, and you can't beat the price. They do get dull eventually, but at this price point, I just toss the dull one and buy a couple of new ones every 2 months or so. I use mine daily and l;ove it.

This was the best $30 ever spent. I am 67 years old and definitely not muscle bound and I am able to get to the top of my 8ft ladder to cut back all the branches growing onto the top of my patio roof from my orange tree. Even standing on the ladder balancing I can cut the big branches and I only have to use one hand and I don't even have to push hard, Its a miracle. I have purchased many saw's to try and cut down this orange tree and none of them worked and this little 7 inch blade knocks it out of the park. Best purchase i've ever made. I'm so happy.

Reasonable quality, locking blade, sharp/strong enough for light and medium duty tasks. I have a Jeep which is heavily modified for off road use. We take it miles and miles into the wilderness to go camping and just explore in general. One weekend after having been in a particularly rough section of trail and winched out, a 3 inch diameter log got jammed in between my axel housing and shock mount. It was pressed against the wheel and the surface of the trail. We tried EVERYTHING to get it out, including winching on it (which broke the shock, lesson learned). Then I remembered this little number that I had purchased from Amazon. In about 30 seconds we were riding off into the sunset, the hardwood log in two pieces behind us. Space is a huge issue on this jeep with all the various supplies I carry and I didn't have room for a hand saw and a chainsaw... the chainsaw wouldn't fit in the area under the Jeep in this instance. Good thing I had this one with me. It takes up very little room and you'll be glad you carried it around for months the one time you do need it!

This is a great saw. Cant leave my farm house without it. I have a belt with sheaths on it and I carry this saw and some pruning shears from Portugal on it. Been on my waist for 20 years and while I replace the blades and occasionally the handle periodically it is huge timesaver

What to say? This is a very versatile saw. The blade is thicker than the traditional double edged Japanese pull saw (which is floppy thin). The extra thickness/kerf is good in that you can cut a straight line at odd angles, and the skinnier blade lets it get into smaller spaces. This is great for pruning trees and other miscellaneous tasks. These saws cut fast and with little effort. Buy one and see for yourself.

A quality product all around (made in Japan), a very sharp saw blade (be careful), no cheap steel or other materials used here, compact & portable, foldable blade, comfortable handle, safety lock & release, comes with a handy carrying holder with belt clip, very utilitarian. Product image is misleading since item comes with only a single blade. This purchase won't disappoint.

This Shark saw that lightly used for 2 years now cuts about as nicely as the Silky Super Accel 210 that I got more recently to replace it. Folded both saws are pretty much identical in dimensions. Open the cutting teeth on the Shark blade are about 1 cm / 0.4 inches shorter than the Silky (185mm vs. 195mm). Both blades have about the same thickness. The Silky blade has a much smoother surface finish (probably less prone to initial rust). The Shark handle is made from steel and the whole saw weights 230g. The Silky handle is made of sturdy aluminum and the complete saw is noticeably lighter at 190g. (Some other Silky saw models have steel handles though.) The Silky feels better in my hand (handle has more of a sweep and overall a better weight balance). The Silky has a very smooth opening/closing/locking action. My Shark is quite stiff and I am sometimes a bit afraid of cutting myself trying to deploy it. The Shark locks into closed position and will not open by accident. The Silky does not lock in closed position and is held by enough friction. The 2 open locking positions are pretty much the same between the two. Currently the Silky saw can be bought for about the same price as the Shark and if you don't need the closed lock it is the nicer choice (make sure to get the "Fine Teeth 117-21" model if you want the same 12 TPI as this "Shark 10-2337", but there is a coarse option as well).

Great value in a quality Japanese saw with excellent quality steel, and solid design. Does everything a Silky saw does but at a third the price. Three blade locking positions a big plus. Only reason I give 4 stars instead of 5 is because it is difficult to adjust from 3rd angle lock position requiring allot of pressure to release. I believe it is a glitch with my particular saw that with improve with use.
