The clamping is reliable, because the blade is held by a small punch and confined by the disc mechanism. What I do not like the shape of the handle. Although he looks in the pictures like he would be great in the hand, unfortunately, this is confirmed not in reality. As other reviews confirm, the form simply too edgy. Due to the rectangular cross section and it contour of the handle in the hand an unnatural sawing must be rotated. A good sawing result is also accessible only by fine-toothed saw blades because the coarser leaves to bite only in wood. Because so little pressure is allowed that one hand can not saw sense (eg fresh wood).
