Description
Specification

A survival classic, refined

The BCB Lightweight Commando Wire Saw is the pocket-sized cutting tool that belongs in every survival kit, bug-out bag and cadet’s webbing. Built from eight tightly woven stainless steel wires, it slices through wood, plastic and bone with surprising speed for something that weighs next to nothing.

Tougher and lighter

The multi-strand woven construction is a real step up from older twisted single-wire saws. It resists breaking, keeps its bite for longer and shaves weight off your load, so it is there when you need it without ever being a burden.

Comfort where it counts

Nylon wrist loops give you a firm, comfortable hold so you can drive the saw hard on demanding jobs without the wires cutting into your hands. Rig it to a springy green branch and you have an improvised bow saw for tackling thicker timber.

Military-proven kit

This is genuine NATO approved equipment (NSN 5110-99-565-2549), trusted by armed forces worldwide. Sold to over-18s only. Build out your kit with more tactical gear.

Frequently asked questions

What can the wire saw cut?

It will cut wood, plastic and bone, making it a genuinely versatile survival tool for clearing timber, shelter building and field tasks.

Why 8 woven wires instead of a single twisted wire?

Eight tightly woven stainless steel strands cut faster and last far longer than older twisted single-wire saws, while keeping the whole tool very light.

Can I turn it into a bow saw?

Yes. Fix the saw to a flexible green branch to form a bow saw, which makes cutting larger logs faster and much less tiring.

What are the nylon loops for?

The nylon wrist loops give you a comfortable, secure grip so you can put real force through the saw without the wires biting into your fingers.

Is this genuine military kit?

Yes, it is NATO approved and carries the NATO stock number 5110-99-565-2549, the same design issued to armed forces.
