    Do you have a problem with "the gap"?
    According to an Amazon Review, when the blade is closed, there's a gap between the handle and the teeth such that some of the teeth are exposed rather than protected by the handle. The reviewer complains the exposed teeth keeps getting snagged on other stuff in his pack.

    To avoid the gap teeth I keep my corona folding saw inside a used bread bag and cinched with a rubber band---and it fits next to my Nalgene in the pack's water bottle pocket---or inside my t-shirt when I'm moving thru crappy stuff.

    The Corona blade rusts fast so I bring a tiny bottle of machine oil and coat the blade periodically on a trip and put the oily saw in the bread bag.

    Here's a pic showing the saw inside its bag---

    It's the red thing next to my yellow pack lid.
