I've got an Argos voucher to use and I need a saw. They seem to sell two, a Wolf REK and a Wilkinson sword 1111169W. Anyone had any experience of these?

Silky Fox, best bloody saw I've ever used, personally I prefer the 'sheathed' [url= http://www.silkyfox.co.uk/sheathed/gomtaro.html ]Gomtaro[/url], but they do a number of [url= http://www.silkyfox.co.uk/foldingsaws.html ]folders[/url] too.

If cheapness is the preferred option, I found the [url= http://www.fiskars.co.uk/Gardening-Yard-Care/Products/Wood-Branches/Saws?gclid=Cj0KEQjw4qqrBRDE2K_z7Pbvjo8BEiQA39AImdXeYPO4scx-N1nOB6e1fuuer5GyI0qudNv1i8_EcDYaAuJ68P8HAQ ]Fiskar's[/url] unit great value & the warranty is superb (I phoned asking for a new blade.. they sent a complete new unit FOC)
Or aldi do one now and again if cost is an issue...

Silky "Pocket Boy", comes in 130 and 170mm lengths.
Compact, quality and very capable.

ARS folder here. The arbo supplier suggested it as an alternative to Felco.

I guesss any of the major names would be ok: none of them would offer a lemon for long.

I got a Laplander after recommendations on here. Had to do 2 cuts like this which it did easily.
