Shark 10-2337 Folding CutsAll Saw

Reasonable quality, locking blade, sharp/strong enough for light and medium duty tasks.I have a Jeep which is heavily modified for off road use. We take it miles and miles into the wilderness to go camping and just explore in general. One weekend after having been in a particularly rough section of trail and winched out, a 3 inch diameter log got jammed in between my axel housing and shock mount. It was pressed against the wheel and the surface of the trail. We tried EVERYTHING to get it out, including winching on it (which broke the shock, lesson learned). Then I remembered this little number that I had purchased from Amazon. In about 30 seconds we were riding off into the sunset, the hardwood log in two pieces behind us. Space is a huge issue on this jeep with all the various supplies I carry and I didn't have room for a hand saw and a chainsaw... the chainsaw wouldn't fit in the area under the Jeep in this instance. Good thing I had this one with me. It takes up very little room and you'll be glad you carried it around for months the one time you do need it!

This Shark saw that lightly used for 2 years now cuts about as nicely as the Silky Super Accel 210 that I got more recently to replace it. Folded both saws are pretty much identical in dimensions. Open the cutting teeth on the Shark blade are about 1 cm / 0.4 inches shorter than the Silky (185mm vs. 195mm). Both blades have about the same thickness. The Silky blade has a much smoother surface finish (probably less prone to initial rust). The Shark handle is made from steel and the whole saw weights 230g. The Silky handle is made of sturdy aluminum and the complete saw is noticeably lighter at 190g. (Some other Silky saw models have steel handles though.) The Silky feels better in my hand (handle has more of a sweep and overall a better weight balance). The Silky has a very smooth opening/closing/locking action. My Shark is quite stiff and I am sometimes a bit afraid of cutting myself trying to deploy it. The Shark locks into closed position and will not open by accident. The Silky does not lock in closed position and is held by enough friction. The 2 open locking positions are pretty much the same between the two. Currently the Silky saw can be bought for about the same price as the Shark and if you don't need the closed lock it is the nicer choice (make sure to get the "Fine Teeth 117-21" model if you want the same 12 TPI as this "Shark 10-2337", but there is a coarse option as well).

I bought this one because of the positive reviews about the quality of the blade, and after using it, I agree. This is a big step up from my Fiskars folding tree saw. The teeth on this thing are so sharp, and are set perfectly to make short work of limbs/branches. I gave this one to my 12 y.o. son so he could have something manageable, but now I want one for myself. It goes through wood so well, it's almost like magic; one pull of the 7.5" blade will take out a 3/4" limb. It has enough kerf (width of the material removed) that the blade does not bind at all. I want one in my bug out bag and one in the shop.

I just went to a park in Alaska (big park) and used some different folding saws to cut 1 to 3 inch tree branches. I used a Fisker's 10 inch, a Kershaw 7 1/2 inch (same as the Bahco 7-1/2-Inch), and the Shark Cuts All Saw. The Fisker was the hardest to get started into the cut but worked. The Kershaw/Bahco was pretty good because it cut clean and reasonably fast. But the fastest gun (saw) in the West was the Shark model 10-2337. It cut the tree branches with ease and superior speed. I was shocked and believe the main reason for this saw's performance is it's sharpness and well set teeth from high quality steel.I liked the Shark saw so much I am buying the carpentry saw and another Shark Corp. folding saw.

Great value in a quality Japanese saw with excellent quality steel, and solid design. Does everything a Silky saw does but at a third the price. Three blade locking positions a big plus. Only reason I give 4 stars instead of 5 is because it is difficult to adjust from 3rd angle lock position requiring allot of pressure to release. I believe it is a glitch with my particular saw that with improve with use.

What to say? This is a very versatile saw. The blade is thicker than the traditional double edged Japanese pull saw (which is floppy thin). The extra thickness/kerf is good in that you can cut a straight line at odd angles, and the skinnier blade lets it get into smaller spaces. This is great for pruning trees and other miscellaneous tasks. These saws cut fast and with little effort. Buy one and see for yourself.

A quality product all around (made in Japan), a very sharp saw blade (be careful), no cheap steel or other materials used here, compact & portable, foldable blade, comfortable handle, safety lock & release, comes with a handy carrying holder with belt clip, very utilitarian. Product image is misleading since item comes with only a single blade. This purchase won't disappoint.

I have added this saw to my growing array of Shark Saw products. I bought the CutsAll Saw (2 of them in fact) primarily to keep one in the workshop/home and one for the car. These things will cut many materials quickly and easily, including wood, plastics and composit materials. Pretty much a one saw fits all type of blade. Great to have in home, workshop, car, caravan or even the boat.
