You could do far worse than a Silky saw.
Daft name, I know, but being Japanese that may be allowed.

I like Japanese saws too. My Silky saws are good pruners, but for
silly names I also like my very similar and equally Japanese "Ars(e)
saw"

Yes, I did buy it just because it has a silly name.

I'm not a big fan of the huge two-handed Silky. At that size, I can
find better saws in Western style. I do like the small "super
penknife" folders though. They're great for stickmakers collecting
hedge timber.
