A great saw that outperforms (and at a great price). I am happy to wait for the custom grip which for me is the ultimate feature of an efficient saw.

My Bucksaw and Carrying Sling finally arrived this week. Definitely worth the wait. The wood is beautifully finished and the design is pure genius. An heirloom product for sure. Light enough that I plan to take it backpacking and practice shelter building. Highly recommended.

My wife got me the Bear Essentials Original Bucksaw after seeing it in a Northern Scavengers You Tube video. I was blown away by the fit and finish. Immediately strikes you that it was made by a true craftsman. Highest quality all the way through. Cuts through the toughest hardwoods like butter and it's a pleasure to use. Get one today!

I purchased a large pack pouch with snaps and a leather Canadian flag patch. During my emails back and forth with DJ, he was very responsive and clearly takes pride in his work. He is committed to producing quality and giving back to his community rather than just generating profits like many/most big companies. I received the items very quickly and must say I was impressed. I do leather work myself, so I know the cost of materials and the effort required to produce quality - and it showed through very proudly in DJ's work. He even threw in some stickers that now adorn my camp Pelican cases. I prefer to purchase quality gear from Canadian crafters/small businesses - I can't recommend The Bear Essentials Outdoors Co. or DJ highly enough. This man produces great products at fair prices, and deserves our support in his business and on his You Tube channel.

I purchased my buck saw in the early stages and I'm proud of its quality. You can't ask for a better saw of its type and DJs commitment to making folks happy is also outstanding. A piece of my hardware dropped out after what seems like a couple years of use. It was replaced at no charge without me asking. I'd suggest this company to anyone

The owner is a tremendously good and easy to deal with person. Speedy responses and very patient. I just ordered, so I can't speak to the products, but other reviews speak volumes. I fully expect to love the axe sheath/sharpener, waist pouch/axe holder, and Bucksaw that I ordered. Very innovative stuff in a field that you'd think didn't need innovating.

Have heavily used the saw over the last 3 to 4 months here in Germany. We are cutting hard wood like beech, but also jaw. The saw is definitely no shelf queen. Am out once a week preparing for winter. Have also taken it with me when traveling. Prefer it over the folding saws as more comfortable If you work a lot for a cold night out. Super handy to pack. Will use it on hunting trips over the winter in Eastern Europe. And ... the other guys liked it as well.
