A foldable bow saw movable between a functional saw condition and a folded packable condition includes a handle arm, a top bar, a short arm, a saw blade, and a lever arm, all pivotally connected one to the other with an end of the handle arm and an end of the lever arm forming free, unconnected ends of the assembly. The free end of the handle arm includes a connecting fulcrum surface adapted to removably mate with a fulcrum surface receiver in the lever arm. Rotation of the lever arm in a locking direction about the fulcrum surface moves the pivotal connection of the lever arm to the saw blade to a tensioned functional saw condition. Rotation of the lever arm in an unlocking direction allows the fulcrum surface to be removed from the fulcrum surface receiver and the assembly to be folded to the packable condition.

A pole saw includes a long handle with end adapter, a blade-carrying component pivoted to the end adapter for movement between an extended use position and a handle-adjacent storage position, and a saw blade fixed to the blade-carrying component. The end adapter and holding component are cast aluminum for strength and light weight, and are pivoted together about an offset axis so that the blade and blade-carrying component are positioned adjacent the handle in a partially protected position when collapsed for storage. A folding lock mechanism includes an anchor that engages a saw-holding bolt on the blade-carrying component, and a wing nut that can be tightened to secure the sheath on the blade.

A collapsible hand saw features an elongated tubular frame member with a hollow interior that runs longitudinally therethrough. First and second arms are removably engaged to the tubular frame near first and second ends of thereof, to span outward from an underside thereof in a common direction. Each arm, near a distal mounting end thereof is configured for selective coupling to a bowsaw blade at a respective mounting hole therein near a respective end thereof. An adjustable tensioner is connectable between the frame member and the first arm, and when tightened, pulls the respective mounting end of said first arm away from the second arm and toward the first end of the frame member to tension the blade. The hollow interior of the frame member accommodates simultaneous storage therein of at least the first and second arms, the adjustable tensioner, and one or multiple blades.
