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.

Fiskars is fine, Silky is the gold standard around here but pricy.

If you want a budget pick, may I recommend Samurai saws? Another really good pick is Corona, perhaps even better than Samurai depending on what the prices are like in your area. I'd just get whichever one of these two is cheaper if I was in your situation. Both of these are better than Fiskars, in my opinion.

Bahco is also a very solid choice. Cheaper than silky, but also very tough.
