Bone saws may sound scary because their names are unfamiliar, but bone saws are actually quite common tool kits that can be used by people outdoors. Despite their names, bone saws are used for more than just cutting prey for processing. As far as bone saws are concerned, things such as wood, plastic, or the film that surrounds the MRE have been carried for a few days, which is fair game. Bone saws are usually foldable knives. They are usually made of high-quality steel and can withstand the abuse of cutting bones and other tough materials. If you happen to live in some colder areas of North America, the bone saw can also cut frozen meat, making it easier to process after hanging. Here are some of the best bone saws that can be placed in your kit for on-site processing games and generally used outdoors and in the wild.

I said in the introduction that modern bone saws are usually foldable knives, but LEM Products 640 is a more traditional design and even has a blade tightening cam. The large size and design of the 640 means you can get a better grip and cut more efficiently. The blade tightening cam allows you to properly tension the blade according to the object to be cut. Overall, LEM Products 640 is a very affordable but bulky choice for bone saws.

The Lapland folding saw is a modern compact saw tooth that can cut almost anything. Laplander is a general-purpose saw made of a high-quality coated blade with 7 teeth per inch and a two-component plastic handle with a safety lock at the end. The Blade folds into a slim configuration when not in use, which means you can easily store it in your bag. The handle and blade also have a slightly inclined angle, which makes cutting thick bones or branches a breeze. Most importantly, the spare blade is affordable and can be replaced on-site with just a cross-head screwdriver.

Gerber is from my hometown of Oregon and has long been one of the best blade manufacturers in the United States. The EXO-MOD backpack hunting saw is specially designed for field game processing. It has a vertical hollow handle, high-quality full-handle blade and cross-cut serrations, which can quickly process bones and other hard materials.

Baracuta bone saws have a thicker blade than most bone saws and are good at cutting bones and wood without being broken. Baracuta uses a slightly polished Japanese stainless steel blade, which is also extremely corrosion-resistant, making it suitable for your most extreme wild hunting trips. Baracuta is also equipped with three replaceable blades, so as long as you have spare blades, you don't have to worry about not being able to handle trophies. Finally, the military-grade polymer handle is very durable and has a high-visibility green handle for easy positioning.

Last but not least is the EverSaw folding hand saw. This is a sturdy kit, almost bulletproof. The blade has super-sharp three-cut razor teeth for pull-cutting saws, and the teeth have been hardened to prevent premature breakage. The folding saw weighs only 10 ounces, is light and compact, has an easy-to-use locking mechanism, and costs only $15.

A bone saw may be a kind of equipment you think you can have, but what I want to say here is that you need one. The right bone saw makes things easier and can also play a dual role in survival situations.

You must first choose one that fits your hand and is balanced. One of the most important elements in any cutting tool is whether it fits your hand. If not, you will not be able to use it as you want.

If you plan to bring it to the scene, portability is important, and this is the highlight of the folding model. Make sure that you can take it with you and don’t take up too much extra space.

A good bone saw is sharp and not too aggressive, so you can make clean, mess-free cuts. You need a product that can cut frozen meat, because sometimes you get stuck when cutting frozen tissues and bones, and you want it to be cut cleaner to avoid contaminating your meat as much as possible.

In some cases, meat saws can also be used for other cutting needs, but you may want to ensure that you have a saw that can replace the blade.

Although bone saws can be made of cheaper steel, the best material for this particular job is stainless steel. Although you lose some weight and they tend to be more expensive than other steels, stainless steel bone saws will ensure that your blades will last longer without rusting.

Yes, the bone saw can cut frozen meat very well. If you pack some meat with dry ice but it freezes somehow, don't worry. The bone saw has a strong blade and can cut other hard materials such as PVC, wood, and of course bones-it is great to use a bone saw to cut frozen meat for easier preparation.

The cutting characteristics of hacksaws are different from those of bone saws. Hacksaws usually have finer teeth and require a lot of back and forth to pass through the material. If you have time and patience, you can theoretically use a hacksaw to cut meat, but in the end, you will only be exhausted. Try to find mid-tooth blades with 7 to 10 teeth per inch-these blades can quickly process bone and wood.
