I have carried the ARS P-18 folding saw for about 40 years.
I think Siky saws are the next generation.
The orange handled BAHCO is cheap and cheerful from Bunnings. Th longer blade has the advantage of longer strokes.
Whichever you buy you will need a "knife file" to keep the teeth sharp. I recently hunted high and low before finding one ar Farmlands Otaki. My one got " modified" for a job, but you get the idea.
Knife files are specifically designed to sharpen both opposite teeth on pruning saw, with each stroke.
The machete it like a cane knife or Gurkha knife. It's really well balanced with the weight up the top end and it doesnt flex like traditional straight blade machetes. it's Chinese, but keeps a good edge. I got this from Pete's Emporium in Porirua. It's called a "HEAD HUNTER!" Which is weird because Porirua is mostly Mongrel Mop turf!?
I keep these in my ute for clearing tracks so I don't scratch much my ute.
