Try the Sierra Saw by Coghlan. It is 5.5 ounces, very sharp and durable. I love it and recommend it highly.

Campmor also sells this 1/2 ounce one. I wouldn't have much trust in it, but for $2.99 plus shipping, it might be worth
experimenting.

This is a pretty good one for three ounces:

The 2.99 coghlan saw at campmor works fine for cutting up downed wood.

My buddy has one that weighs less than an ounce. It is just a wire-type saw with key-ring type attachments at both ends. Its some work, but does the job. 4-6" dia. trunk is about all it can handle. I have no idea the name or brand..

This thing looks pretty light to me. You'll have to scroll down a few pages. 19.95.

These things used to be included in SEEK (Survival Escape Evasion Kits) issued to Navy aircrew. They work well if you bend a branch between the ring making a bow saw of sorts. Worked like a charm on bamboo. The mil surplus ones aren't very durable.
Useful as a garrotte also, or so they claimed.

The saw I was thinking about is similar to the "Commando" on this page.
