Before seeing the SpyderSaw I had previously posted somewhere here a suggestion for just such a tool. Would be interesting to see how good H1 would do as a woodsaw considering it's performance in serrated. A "Salt" saw would also be appreciated in use around water (paddling) and blood (processing game). Perhaps 2003 wasn't good timing for the product that it got discontinued at some point, but considering the increased popularity of bushcraft and smaller saws such as the Opinel and those found on SAKs, perhaps it's time to reintroduce?
Saws are rather under appreciated in my opinion. I love a good axe and it's capability is unmatched in some areas, but comparing; a saw is lighter in weight, safer to use (particularly in low light or the dark), requires less experience to be proficient, and if it's something like the SpyderSaw, super easy to carry. That said, you'd likely be selling a lot more saws that axes these days.
Personally, I like a folding saw throw in a pack for hunting/hiking or my dry-bag when paddling. A small folding saw, to a extent, can also fulfill some roles in processing wood that a fixed blade knife would normally be best. In other words I may be more inclined to not carry a fixed blade in the woods if I had a folder and something like a SpyderSaw. Sometimes I do that with the Opinel, but it's oval handle is too large and edges not favorable for a pocket.
Anyway, throwing this out there as curious as to how much interest in something like this would be today as I tend to get overly interested from an outdoor perspective with cutting tools. Thanks, Chris
