Wire Saw with Metal Rings

The Commando Wire Saw with Rings, supplied by J3Seven, is the original, patented survival wire saw trusted by military and outdoor users worldwide. Using a tightly woven, eight‑strand stainless steel wire and robust metal ring handles, it provides a compact, lightweight cutting solution for field, escape and evasion, and emergency use when you cannot carry a full‑size saw.

Small enough to live in a survival tin, webbing pouch or pocket, it is a proven tool for cutting wood, plastic and even bone, and can be turned into a bow saw when more efficient cutting is required.

Why Teams Choose the Commando Wire Saw with Rings

Original, patented design: This is the classic commando wire saw, widely used and trusted in survival and military communities.

Eight‑strand stainless steel wire: The tightly woven multi‑strand wire offers a longer service life and more effective cutting than simple, single‑strand saws.

Cuts wood, plastic and bone: Suitable for cutting branches for shelter, clearing light obstacles, processing game and tackling many plastics and light construction materials.

Robust metal ring handles: Two metal rings (one larger than the other) provide strong, secure handholds that stand up to demanding use, even with gloved hands.

Can be made into a bow saw: By attaching each end of the wire to a bent branch or improvised frame, the saw can be used as a bow saw for more efficient, controlled cutting.

Compact survival tool: Packs down small and weighs very little, making it ideal for survival tins, SERE kits, personal escape kits, bug‑out bags and vehicle packs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the CM020 and CM020A wire saws?

The CM020 is the original Commando Wire Saw with metal ring handles. The CM020A is a lightweight variant that uses webbing wrist loops instead of metal rings, offering a different handling style and comfort level.

What materials can this saw cut?

It is designed to cut small‑diameter wood, many plastics and animal bone, making it useful for shelter construction, camp craft and field processing tasks. It is not intended for large timber or metal cutting.

How do I use it as a bow saw?

Secure each end of the wire to the ends of a bent branch or improvised frame, creating tension in the wire. This lets you use the saw in a bow‑saw motion, improving control and efficiency for longer cuts.

Is it reusable?

Yes. With normal use, the stainless wire and metal rings will provide multiple cutting sessions. Avoid kinking the wire or exceeding its limits to maximise lifespan.

How small does it pack?

The saw coils into a very compact bundle that fits into survival tins, small pouches or pockets, making it easy to carry at all times as a backup cutting option.

Who is this product best suited to?

It is ideal for Defence and police personnel, remote workers and anyone building serious survival or escape and evasion kits.
