Only a few short months ago, Scandinavian outfit Woxna delivered one of the most interesting, innovative bushcraft survival tools I’ve seen in years. With its button-locking folding saw, the brand brilliantly imbued EDC-inspired mechanisms into a hardcore survival tool.

Now, Woxna is back with an exceptional evolution of (and upgrade to) that very same innovation. The Woxna Söderfors Foldable Saw is the first-ever to utilize a beloved, entrancing everyday carry blade material.

Much of what made Woxna’s original folding saws so great remains in this new edition. For instance, the Söderfors comes in two blade lengths: 250 mm (9.84 inches) and 180 mm (7.09 inches).

They are also both made with hardwood handles — walnut, in this case. That handle choice harkens to their Scandinavian heritage and plays well with their outdoorsy intent.

Like their predecessors, these saws fold in half like pocket knives and have a handy, secure, easy-to-use button lock.

Most excitingly, the saws retain their everyday carry-inspired folding style and locking mechanism. Like their predecessors, these saws fold in half like pocket knives and have a handy, secure, easy-to-use button lock.

That last innovation helps set the brand’s original folding saws apart from their competition. It also jibes extremely well with the eye-catching blade swap in the new versions.

Grail-worthy upgrade

As mentioned, the saws come with two blade lengths — either 9.84 inches or 7.09 inches. Besides their lengths, they’re configured almost identically.

You’d call their blade shape a drop point if they were pocket knives. But instead of a traditional cutting edge, they have a set of razor-sharp offset teeth that can cut through even the toughest branches and logs like butter.

According to the brand, this is the first time a folding saw has ever been equipped with [Damascus] steel.

However, unlike the previous editions crafted with Sandvik steel, these boast Damascus. According to the brand, this is the first time a folding saw has ever been equipped with this steel.

While the steel’s wavy patterns are clearly beautiful (even entrancing), the material also adds even more strength and durability to the blades. It elevates this bushcraft survival tool even higher, regarding both its appearance and performance.

Pricing and availability

The Woxna Söderfors Foldable Saws are crowdfunding on Kickstarter now. Better still, the campaign is already at nearly twice its goal.

Should you want to participate, pricing starts at €385 (about $428). Plus, when the campaign is over, the brand will put the saws up on its site, although the price after the Kickstarter jumps to $650.
