yeah that's basically right. But I'm trying to find out the real name if you catch my drift.

I prune my pine trees with this. But the arch on the saw must be something specific.

ummmm. It's my dad's. I guess there's nothing really creative about it except it has a specific purpose: pruning.

I notice you're in Tampa. Tampa is where I work. Today the big parade downtown is right on the street where I work.

It is a simple pruning saw. Along with trees it also can cut prunes :}

that's right Mysterious,

However the folding is a good idea. Whenever I see one like that in a store, the next time I'm buying it...

That is the saw I wish my wife had used to trim all
the trees and bush branches a while back, instead using of
my fine woodworking saws ....

Still ain't forgiven her for that!
