I tried sawing into some Box Wood , fire wood which is apparently some of the densest/hard wood you can find in Australia . The guy who cut the tree down was not happy as the job took longer and he had to sharpen his chainsaw X3 times ( when he gave us the quote he did say " I hope it is not a Box Wood ") . The Swisstool's saw had no trouble cutting into the very hard box wood ( the wood has dried out ? if this makes it easier to saw). So I have had my Swissy just under a week & I am a little concerned how much I like my Vic being such a Leatherman fan

. I think I can find room for some more Vic tools in my life , especially that new model Spirit.

Very nice pics, I am a LM fan 2 but it doesn't hurt to use other MTs you need something to compare them 2

Yes your pictures make it seem that the Swisstool felled those trees all by itself!

What so you can swap the blades out when the ''cut one way'' saw blade clogs up

LM saws resist clogging!

You would need the rattle to scare away all the birds in them.

Good thing he didn't use the SwissTool, the teeth don't go all the way to the end! So, that's an annoyance and you can't do a FULL pull cut!

( just like the file!)

Actually, I've noticed this is a new thing on Vic tools: the Atlas I sent in had a full-lenght saw, while the one I got back leaves a little lifting space at the end.
