Why choose an authentic TUBEST saw?

A regulation tool designed for real-world operational conditions, the TUBEST was conceived to be slipped into a pocket and forgotten until needed. Its long blade, offset by minimal weight, makes it a field tool with no direct civilian equivalent for this weight-to-efficiency ratio. New from stock, it has never been used: blade is intact, handles are functional.
