Can you actually use the sawback?

Yes this is a very effective tool and I like the light weight of it for carry. I looked at many knives before I got this one. I ordered 5 other and this is the best.

The sawback is very course and hard to use. The rest of the blade is awesome though. well worth the cost.

Yes it can, you can use a small saw, but be sure to measure the height you need before doing it (there's no going back). Also, be sure to do it in a straight line, or the rubber base won't fit propperly afterwards.

I have used the Saw Blade out of a Roto Zip but it is a bit dangerous as you have no guard!

Yes you can that is how I normally use it but it is just like any other fire steal if your knife has that black coat or paint on it like kabar knives usually have then you can't use the back of the blade you have to actually use the blade to make a spark

I haven't had to, but I'm not sure why you couldn't. It's REALLY thick. You'd have to hit a boulder or a machete.

yes you can but you will have to reverse the blade and you may want to get a longer blade so that it stays in the guide of the box.Good luck.

I haven't specifically cut treated lumber on my sawstop (my miter saw does that) but I would not think so. You can test the tripping mechanism by touching the wood to the blade prior to spinning up the saw, and the control panel will flash a red light if it would have tripped. You can also disable the mechanism.

Don't know, haven't tried, but would not think so. I use my Ninja for that sort of thing.

Not really. It's adjustable with the supplied hex wrench. It can be backed all the way out and not used.

I purchased 2 as they aren't much good with just one. You need 2 sawhorses to work with them.

As I said above, "The trick was that you to turn the clamp lever in the reverse direction (counter-clockwise) than normal." I just asked my husband if this was hard to do and he said "no" and didn't have to use any special tools to turn it. He also said to say that when you do start using the saw, sawdust will collect in the back channel and prevent you from getting full 45 degree travel, so be sure to vacuum out the sawdust every use or two.We installed solid wood flooring throughout our house this past winter, and this little saw was a dream for easily cutting each board to proper length.

Yes, you can. I tried it tonight with both a cheapie flint and a Swedish Flint Steel and both made adequate sparks. I normally just use a section of hack saw blade though. I also drilled a hole though the rear most portion of the handle and made a long loop out of 550 (para-cord) that way I can wear it necklace style if I'm worried about loosing it in heavy brush, etc. plus I have a nice loop of 550 to use if needed.

It could be used but it was me I,d spend the money on a wood cutting band saw, This model has cheap conponates as a wood band saws are well build.

I heard that you can, but I never have. I think they sell just the blades on the website so it must be doable.

Yes you can but you have to position the larger over hang to the outside and over all the saw has been perfect!!

Yes, you can. That's how I use it. Use a straight backed chair and go to work!
