Purpose-built for field dressing – cut through rib cage and pelvis with confidence
When you’ve made the shot, the real work begins. The Gerber Vital Pack Saw is a fixed bone saw designed specifically for hunters who need to split rib cages, pelvises and joints quickly and cleanly during field dressing. The 9.1 cm SK5 carbon-steel blade features an optimised crosscut serration pattern that bites aggressively into bone while requiring minimal effort. At just 76 g, it disappears into your pack or belt until the moment you need it – then delivers the cutting performance that makes the difference between a fast, clean field dress and a frustrating struggle.
Safety meets cutting power
Blunt hooked tip · SK5 carbon steel · optimised serration pattern
The signature blunt hooked tip is the Vital Pack Saw’s defining safety feature: it prevents accidental puncture of intestines, bladder and other organs during aggressive sawing through the rib cage or pelvis. SK5 carbon steel delivers superior edge retention and hardness compared to standard stainless steel, ensuring the crosscut teeth stay sharp through multiple field-dressing sessions. The optimised serration pattern is tuned for bone – aggressive enough to cut quickly, yet controlled enough for precision work around joints.
High-vis orange handle – rubber overmold for all-day comfort
The handle is built on a glass-filled nylon frame for rigidity and overmoled with textured rubber for a secure, non-slip grip – even with wet or bloody hands. The high-visibility orange colour ensures you can find the saw instantly in a pack, on the ground or in low-light conditions. The ergonomic contour distributes pressure evenly across the palm, reducing hand fatigue during prolonged cutting sessions on large game.
Compact & packable – sheath included for belt carry
At 15.2 cm overall length and 76 g, the Vital Pack Saw is one of the most compact bone saws available. The included fabric/nylon sheath features a belt-loop attachment and a pull catch for secure carry in the field. Slide it onto your belt next to your knife and you have a complete field-dressing kit ready for any big-game hunt.

Frequently Asked Questions – Gerber Vital Pack Saw
What steel is the blade made of?
The blade is made of SK5 carbon steel, a high-carbon tool steel known for its hardness and excellent edge retention – ideal for cutting through dense bone.
What is the blunt hooked tip for?
The blunt hooked tip is a safety feature designed to prevent accidental puncture of internal organs during field dressing, keeping the meat clean and reducing waste.
Is the saw suitable for cutting wood?
The Vital Pack Saw is designed specifically for bone. Its crosscut teeth are optimised for dense bone tissue rather than wood fibres. For wood cutting, a general-purpose camp saw would be more appropriate.
Is a sheath included?
Yes. The saw comes with a fabric sheath featuring a belt loop for convenient, hands-free carry in the field.
How heavy is the Vital Pack Saw?
The saw weighs just 76 g (2.7 oz), making it ultralight and easy to carry on any hunt without adding noticeable weight to your pack.
What warranty does Gerber offer?
Gerber provides a 25-year limited warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
