Badger Outdoors’s Pocket Chainsaw consists 24 inches of bidirectional carbon steel cutting blades which are rugged enough to take plenty of abuse. The fatter blade kerf avoids binding, and the large webbing handles can be used with bare hands. An included carry case makes the Pocket Chainsaw easy to attach to a belt. The functionality and durability of the Pocket Chainsaw would make it an excellent edition to any survival kit.
