Strong Saw

My friend and I had this project where we had to make a tool in the outdoors. Since there was a bamboo forest nearby, we figured we would use bamboo for this. Not so hard, right? Wrong! Bamboo is really hard to cut. My friend and I figured this out when we got there. After 15 minutes of chopping with my friend’s knife, there wasn't even a dent. I took out my Leatherman Wave, opened the saw blade, and within 15 seconds I was through a 4 inch in diameter piece of bamboo. I cut down 2 more in under a minute. After this, my friend asked, "Where did you get that?"
