Do you think this would be strong enough to cut through a deer leg? Will it run a 12 inch blade??

I don't have much good to say about this saw, but I would think it would cut through a deer leg. Once. I never tried a 12 inch blade, but I don't know why it wouldn't work, as long as you're cutting through butter.

Wow - I can't believe some of these reviews. I have slowly dumped my 18 volt stuff when I started collecting 20 and 12 volt. Instead of replacing my bigger 18 volt saw with another big cordless, since I do have it in the corded model, I got this little guy for doing the light work. I've had a 10 inch blade in it through a wall - worked fine, even through the studs. I do understand this is a little rig and don't expect to get from it what the 18 did for years. Even so, I have no problem with the power in the 12 volt tools. Use a big toothed blade, just like a meat saw, the blade will plug up when cutting if the teeth are very fine. Happy hunting.

If the bamboo is not thick, it should work fine. I have used it on mostly on oak, which is a hardwood, and it cuts right through as long as the limb is not too thick, less than 5 inches or so.

It will but not well. Chopping small branches is easy but the shape of the head and the small blade prevent larger cuts. Works great as a hammer though

I think the motor can handle that size going slow, it didnt seam to bog down much on 12in. But I would warn you to stays clear of this saw the quality was horrible, I sent it back.

I have a small piece of property and carry this with me in the woods. I have cut small branches, invasive vines, and thrown it ALOT with out any worries of it breaking or hurting the performance. So in summation, yes, it will definitely handle heavy abuse and throwing at log, trees, stumps, etc. I have hit the hilt and handle many many times without any permanent damage.

I had to look up images of the summer sweet before I could answer this question.From the pictures it appears that you should have no problems. I have used this saw to cut down over 2" thick branches.

Not a chance. I was just using this tool this morning to clip a camelia tree. You can cut up to about 3/8" branches.

Well you could try it on small tree limbs but it will probably dull the blades faster. I used it to trim the branches on a big bush with some thicker limbs but I wouldn't do it all the time.

Not sure if this is going to help you, but we've been using the 12" blades sold at Amazon to trim branches, and they've been perfect. So far, we haven't bent or broken a blade!

I have not tried cutting anything that thick yet, but I think they may be able to handle it. I am sure it can handle 1 inch thick branches.

I have cut a few small tree limbs with it. It does that OK. Clearing brush with this knife would be quite a chore. Thats not really what it is designed for.

I can definitely say it's strong and sharp enough to cut through a potato. The only issue would be that you'd have to use either smaller potatoes in general, or go through the tedium of double-cutting, lining up the cutter with subsequent cuts if the potato is too large. Strength/sharpness have not been an issue at all with this fun little tool!

yes it would. I wouldn't use it to chop wood. but it is a reasonably good sword for show.

The knife may work for this application, but with limited ability since the pommel is not real thick in nature. Tent stakes and light duty hammering may work. However, for cutting, carving, shaving branches, and other woodsman's work this knife excels!

it will work great for grass I have cut through 3 inch tree's with this blade .and it is easy to re sharpen just like a chainsaw blade.very good producted

Yes / It can kill a deer very powerful. There are more powerful bows but for the money you cant beat this bow.

I used mine to take down lilacs. They have very hard wood. It takes awhile to get through, but some of the branches at the bottom were 3". If I were to do it again I would use a sawsall or chain saw.
