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.

You could always just make your own bucksaw. Blades are cheap, wood is cheap, and a wooden bucksaw you made yourself is far more in the spirit of bushcraft than a plastic mass produced option you bought with (more than likely) an insane markup in price

Came here to say this.

$2 for a blade

$48 for beers with friends

Also smart in regards to bushcraft by being resourceful enough to make a saw oneself.
