Honest note It is physically hard work. Treat it as a compact backup to a folding saw, not a replacement for one
Product care
Wear gloves - the handles cut into bare hands quickly under load. Keep the chain clear of your legs on the pull stroke, and never use it above head height without eye protection. Set the branch so it cannot roll or spring back as you cut through. Wipe the chain dry after use and oil it lightly before storing; 65Mn is rust resistant, not stainless. Roll it loosely into its pouch rather than kinking it. Keep it away from children; a chain of blades does not look dangerous until it is in use.
Full details

A hand powered pocket chain saw that rolls into a pouch the size of a wallet and cuts branches and small trunks with a back and forth pull. The chain runs around 26 inches with eleven bidirectional cutting blades, so it bites in both directions rather than wasting half of every stroke. Two people can work it from either end on thicker wood, or one person can loop it over a branch and pull alternately.

The chain is heat treated 65Mn steel alloy, chosen for toughness and resistance to corrosion and rust rather than for taking an edge like a knife. Because the teeth are set to clear their own kerf, the chain tends to keep cutting in damp or green wood instead of binding. There is no engine, no fuel, no battery and nothing to service, which is why these keep turning up in survival and vehicle kits.

Five styles are available across orange, black and silver options. Useful for camping firewood, bushcraft, pruning, storm clearance, bug out bags and car emergency kits. Wear gloves, keep the chain clear of your legs on the pull stroke, and never use it above head height without eye protection. Fellmont Outdoors rates it as a backup to a folding saw rather than a replacement, but it weighs so little that there is no reason not to carry both.

  • Chain length: approximately 26 inches
  • 11 bidirectional cutting blades
  • Material: heat treated 65Mn steel alloy
  • Corrosion and rust resistant finish
  • Hand powered: no fuel, battery or servicing
  • 5 styles in orange, black and silver
  • 26 in Chain length
  • 11 Bidirectional blades
  • 65Mn Heat-treated steel alloy

Cutting both ways

No wasted strokes.

A plain wire saw only cuts on one direction of travel, so **half of every stroke does nothing**. The **11 bidirectional blades** here **bite in both directions**, which roughly halves the work for the same cut. The teeth are **set to clear their own kerf**, so the chain keeps cutting in **damp or green wood** instead of binding.

  • **11 bidirectional cutting blades**
  • **Both directions cut** - no dead strokes
  • **Clears its own kerf** in green wood

How you use it

One person or two.

**Two people** can work it from **either end** on thicker wood, which is quick. **One person** loops it **over a branch and pulls each handle alternately**, using the branch itself as the pivot. Neither needs technique so much as patience, and both work where **no engine would be welcome or available**.

  • **Two-person** pull on thicker trunks
  • **One-person loop-over** on branches
  • **No fuel, battery or servicing**

Why it lives in a kit

Wallet-sized, and it never goes flat.

It rolls into a **pouch about the size of a wallet**, which is why these turn up in **bug out bags, car emergency kits and storm-clearance kits**. **Heat-treated 65Mn steel** is chosen for **toughness and rust resistance** rather than for taking a fine edge. It weighs so little there is **no reason not to carry it alongside a folding saw**.

  • **Rolls into a wallet-sized pouch**
  • **Corrosion and rust resistant** finish
  • **Camping firewood, pruning, storm clearance, car kits**

    unusable garbage. did not cut through a 3cm branch. got stuck. do not recommend.

  • Octavio Dare31 August 2026

    10 minutes of intense work, a wet back, a lot of sawdust (like sawdust) ... the result - a 6-7 cm branch is not sawn through, the saw is broken, the mood is ruined... But there is a big plus, it made me go for a walk in the forest!

  • Lanora Dickinson27 July 2026

    Product for thin branches, cut 30-35 mm aspen with a circular saw. Thin, can be clamped.

  • Sterling Emard21 July 2026

    This product has excellent quality.

    That's good, thank you.

  • Julio Pouros28 May 2026

    Useless item. Waste of money. Don't buy it! I used it and it lasted 5 seconds and then it stopped.

Frequently Asked Questions

How thick a branch will it cut?
No maximum diameter is published. With 26 inches of chain you have enough length for branches and small trunks rather than large timber - and the practical limit arrives well before the physical one, because the work gets very hard as the diameter grows.
Is it as good as a folding saw?
No, and we would rather say so. A folding saw is quicker, easier and more controlled for almost every camp task. The pocket chain saw's advantages are size, weight and that it rolls into a pouch - which makes it an excellent backup in a car kit or a bug out bag, and a tiring primary tool.
Can one person use it?
Yes - loop it over the branch and pull each handle alternately, letting the branch act as the pivot. Two people pulling from either end is faster on thicker wood, but the one-person method works and is how most people use it.
Will it rust?
The 65Mn alloy is heat treated and rust resistant rather than stainless, so it copes with damp but is not immune. Wipe it dry after use and put a trace of oil on it before it goes back in the pouch, particularly if it is living in a car boot.
Can I sharpen it?
Not practically. The teeth are small, set and heat treated, and sharpening them by hand without the right file and angle will make it cut worse. Treat it as a consumable and replace it when it stops biting.
Is it safe to use?
Used sensibly, yes - it is slower and more controlled than a powered saw. Wear gloves, keep the chain away from your legs on the pull stroke, make sure the branch cannot roll or spring, and do not work above head height without eye protection.

I do not recommend it.
It's different from a saw.
When you use a saw, it opens up.
This is
The saw blade is stuck in the wood.
It won't come off.
If you apply excessive force, there is a risk of damage or injury.
