The Les Stroud Path Saw from Camillus is a straightforward outdoor saw aimed at cutting through brush and small branches when you’re out on the trail or around camp. It’s designed for general-purpose wood cutting without overcomplicating things, so you can focus on keeping your path clear and your campsite tidy.
With an 18.5 cm blade crafted from 440C stainless steel and a handle made of polypropylene with a rubber inlay, this saw strikes a balance between corrosion resistance, edge durability and a secure grip—even in damp conditions. Weighing 216 g and measuring 36 cm in total length, it fits comfortably in most packs without taking up too much space or adding bulk, making it easy to carry on day hikes or multi-day trips.
The blade’s 55 Rc hardness rating is based on the Rockwell C scale, which measures how hard the steel is. At this level, the blade holds a sharp edge well while still offering enough toughness to resist chipping or cracking when you’re cutting through tougher material.
