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.

Pruning saws are ok but you are better with an actual folding bow saw if you are doing much cutting. The Boreal21 saw (there is also a 24" version) cuts faster and with less effort than any pruning style saw I've used and folds up just as small. Blades are easily replaceable too.

What this man said ⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️. I have the gomeboy , the big boy , and an older sawviver ….. the sawviver is way more efficient for big use … or lots of cuts .
