The blades came just in time! I used to use a short box saw (seen here) to both harvest the tree and trim the roots. I now use an 18" Corona pruning saw which lasts for a while if I treat it with camellia oil. Last year I brought my reciprocating saw with a wood blade into the swamp and root pruning was a damned sight easier. My friend, Mitch, put me on to pruning blades and I ordered a 5-pack of Bosch blades.
Next year, I want the 21" Corona saw. So, anyone who wants to know what to get me for Christmas, that's it right there.
Tomorrow is SWAMP DAY! WHOO!

Note: "Just in time" is defined here as "remembering on Monday that I forgot to order the blades and now I need to pay for 2-day shipping".
6"? I'd reach for a cross cut handsaw before an axe. (Or a circular saw, or a sawzall, or a ...)

I have used the older model of Fiskars 23.5" Splitting Axe (http://www2.fiskars.com/Products/Yard-and-Garden/Axes-and-Striking/X17-Splitting-Axe-23.5) For the last 3 years and it has performed extremely well, it's light enough that I often backpack it in several miles to ADK lean-to's, and it does a very good job splitting just about all size deadfall I can find.
With regards to your hand saw - if you haven't checked out Corona , I would strongly consider it (http://www.amazon.com/Corona-Clipper-21-Inch-RS-7160/dp/B00221Q3GU/ref=sr_1_4?s=lawn-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1348063556&sr=1-4&keywords=corona+pruning+saw)
These two tools have significantly reduced my camping firewood anxiety.
