Saw recommendations

Im looking to start a new bushcraft project soon and am after a better bushcraft saw. I currently own a Gerber freescape which is good but struggles at cutting larger bits of wood, I’m also after something a little cheaper somewhere in the $50 range or preferably lower?

My local hardware store has this Fiskars one for pretty cheap.

My experience is that there’s a lot of broken tips and blades with the silky saws, whereas the Bacho Laplander seems to take the beating way better. However the Silky might have a better bite to it. Silky is undoubtedly more expensive, Bacho or Fiskar is cheaper but sturdy, which might be important for your decision. Nevertheless you’ll be doing great with whatever you choose. You do you and use common man sense.
