They are a little spendy but well worth the investment.

Best I've seen on the market. Just don't drop it in the drink and it'll last a lifetime.

Best saw on the market.  Works really good for ice up to a foot or more.  had mine for alot of years.  only needs to be sharpened every 3-5 years.

As you have probably noticed they are not the average saw teeth in this type of design. So sharpening is something you should try to avoid by taking very good care of the saw from the first day you have it. Protect the teeth points and make sure they stay sharp enough to scratch your finger nail. Dry any water off the saw teeth after use. Rust at a microscopic level can impact the sharpness too, just like on a razor blade. I pack my Fish's saw in a cordura bag that one of those foldup camp chairs come in. Works great!

What I really like about mine is when I use it to open the ice crust on my spearing hole the next morning. Very easy to cut along the edges quickly. Very quiet. And no mess. Cut the four edges, break the sheet into a few pieces to pitch out the door and you are ready to spear. A must have for any spearo.

Was actually looking into writing a CAD program for the laser table at work and giving it a try on a piece of scrap steel. If it don't work no biggy but if it does work that's money saved.

I like the one I have as well. It is much easier than I thought it was going to be to cut a hole with it.

Very good quality saw and works A1 for ice under a foot. If the question is "is it worth $120" yes as long as you take good care of it and it's not just for spearing cause it works great for laker fishing to open a bigger hole or skip the auger and just use the saw  @)

wouldn't be without it, just cut through 13" of ice in about 10 minutes with plenty of rest breaks.  I auger 2 holes first.
