I like that the blade on the newer version is covered better then on the old one, seeing those exposed teeth when it was folded always frustrated me a little. I have a bako Laplander and 2 silky saws and 2 corona saws and they all work well. I tend to use the corona more for work I’ve been through a few over the years the others are ones I keep for occasional use if I need them and have them in different vehicles or back packs. Since the corona is cheaper I don’t feel as bad beating them up as much if I have too. Good video
I have several saws, including some I got as press giveaways at trade shows. (I write for the construction market.) My Corona remains my go-to for exactly the reasons you cite. I also like the teeth protected when folded in the latest version. I'll upgrade when this one dulls, I guess. Thank you for watching the vid and for taking time to comment.
Hey . Amazon prices go up and down. Currently I bought one for around $25 . Still in the pack in my car trunk. Thanks for the video! Happy I have a back up, I don’t use my silky big boy 240mm Straight saw, I seen so many people break them because of the harder temper of the steel. I paid $75 for it and don’t want to see broken. Corona I’ll buy a ton of though. All round great camping saw! 😊
You're right. Amazon prices fluctuate, for sure. Not that I'm advocating timing the purchase. A few dollars either way is fractions of a penny per use over the service life of the saw. Like you I've used other saws but I keep coming back to Corona, especially with the improvements. Thanks for watching and for commenting!
Well, this is a good comparison of a new sharp saw vs. an old duller saw. I would have liked to have seen the same comparison with your new old saw and the new new saw! If you get my thought. I just got new your old saw, and I really like the textured black grip surface, the new one you have does not have that. Perhaps you could plastidip the handle to reproduce that. Just a thought, since you did not mention that feature a a negative on your new saw.
My objective was not a cutting comparison but to illustrate the benefits of replacing an older saw with a new one of slightly different design, pointing out the similarities and differences. I like your Plasti Dip suggestion. I find the handle on the new saw perfectly useful but Plasti Dip could make it even better. For those considering this step, note that Plasti Dip can be brushed on; you don't have to dip the object and brushing may be the better application method here. Thanks for watching the video, Mike, and for taking time to comment and offer suggestions.
My only folding saw I had was a 7" one I bought from Harbor Freight when I was starting out and wasn't sure about sawing stuff. But recently, I've been seeing the Corona 10" saw online performing well and I think it may be the upgrade I'm looking for without spending too much. Thanks for the video, it helped my decision.
Thanks for watching and for commenting. I've used a bunch of pack saws over the years and none was truly bad, but this current iteration of the Corona is the best yet. Glad the vid was able to help you decide to upgrade.
I have requested current COO (country of origin) information from the manufacturer to ensure we have the latest info. I'll provide an updated response as soon as I hear from them. Thanks for the inquiry and for the kind words.
@@DanielBrooks1987 the caption for the current saw in use refers to a "rubberized non-slip grip" even though the handle doesn't have the same appearance. I trust Corona to provide an accurate description so although I don't own the current model, I think it would be fine.

Would you please tell me the Model number for the new saw ? I tossed my totally inferior and overpriced Silky saw in a camp fire . Your testing methods are brilliant. Thanks for your video and all the best in all future endeavors.
@@richriesadventure I’m watching your video and you said the new saw is the one with the black rubber texture is rs7265D I thought the New one on Corona tools USA are the one without the rubber textured red rs16150?
@@rudeman1914 the catalog has been updated. If you do a search using the model number I cite (RS7265D) you'll find last year's model...they're still available and with the textured handle. The RS16150 is the current model.

It is apparent from the data (faster second cuts) that either you're getting stronger or sawing sharpens the saws.
One of those is clearly the inescapable conclusion, or perhaps both factors are at play. More research is needed. I'll be seeking funding.

Very helpful video. Where is this saw made? Thanks

Thanks, I have seen some who mention a Japanese blade. That would be good.
The saw (SKU RS16150) and the replacement blade (SKU AC 7265) are both made in Korea.@@Dydeeo
Thanks I will be getting one soon. I have a Bahco and Silky, but this should do well.
@@Dydeeo let us know what you think of it after you've had a chance to use it a few times. Thanks for the conversation!
Is the handle of the new saw not “rubberized” like the handle of the old saw?
