I’ve had a WY saw for years but keep trying the various, lighter folders; finally I think I’ve learned :rolleyes:

I have the Outdoor Edge Flip n Zip for deer, it would probably work on elk. It's super lightweight and easy to pack around all the time. I have only used it twice and it didn't break, but it has some flexibility to it.
For larger jobs, I have the Outdoor Edge foldable, I don't think they make it anymore. They have a Griz Saw, or you could go with Wyoming if you want to also cut wood. That option is nice because it would work on ribs, pelvis, skull and cut wood but is much larger and heavier than the Flip n Zip.

Pricey, superb. Pull saw. I have the Pocket Boy, too small to cut off elk antlers but incredibly sharp and quick to cut. Mine has coarse teeth, great for wood and works on bone. If my primary use was for bone I'd go for medium teeth, in a Big Boy size for cutting antlers from skulls.
I have half a dozen other daypack saws: Sierra, Gerber, Knap sport saw, various compass and small hand saws (best I've found for cutting off antlers). A Knight and Hale lock blade folding pull saw lasted about 2 minutes of use. A small Black and Decker pull saw finally wore out but was very good and I have never seen one like it since. Best larger back pack folding saw (for me) is the Coghlan folding saw, similar to Sven saw but much better design with no parts to fall off and lose in snow etc. It is a wood saw, don't know if you can get a finer tooth bone blade for it.

Good post, I have always carried one of the short Stanley cross cut saws in my pack. They work great, but not as compact as I would like. I’ve never seen the Wyoming saw. Ordered one last.
:tup: It's one of the very few pieces of gear you'll never have to upgrade from.
