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.

Have a fiskars retracting (super lightweight and safe) totally decent performance.

Bahco for afford, robust dependability. Not the fastest, but they take serious abuse. Good locking mechanism.

Silky: processes wood at scary impressive speeds, takes the effort and sweat right out of it. Pricey, and more careful operation involved.
