Thread: Lightweight portable bone saw

Just looking for more options and cleaner ways to bring some bits out. Eg sawing off the lower bits of the legs instead of carrying the whole leg , cutting open the sternum for cleaner access to chest cavity, and opening up the pelvis to more easily cut out the anus/intestine. Probably don’t need to but there have been occasions where I wished I brought a saw. Could just be overall lack of experience field butchering too. Usually don’t drag whole gutted corpse far, just to a more suitable area to do the quartering and/or deboning.

The havalon blades seem cool and are very light. Looks like there are all sorts of Blade types they offer for different tasks as well.
