Recip saws have a similar mess factor to skill saws or circular saws. Hand saw like for deer or butchering knives reduce splatter. Though you have to pay attention to your edges.

I find Sawzalls are better than a circular saw because they have variable speed and don’t tend to yeet things near as much. I tried a skillsaw once and it wasn’t pretty and didn’t have that great of a smell. (Given, it wasn’t exactly the sharpest blade)

Circular saw would be faster. The blades themselves are easy to clean…it’s metal, after all. The problem with the circular saw is more places for giblets to get stuck.

What if I only have a dremel?

They make portable band saw that would be the cleanest and band saw were originally made for butchers in the first place.

This looks like a corded model though.
With a corded portable bandsaw, you’ve got to be very careful not to mistakenly cut through the cord. That makes a lot of sparks, and then you have to repair the cord.
You get a lot more power out of corded models but I’d be surprised if there aren’t some quality cordless tools out there.
You’d want to make sure that you’ve got enough battery for the job, but you could do it anywhere, even in the middle of the woods.
Of course, the main reason to maime/dismember the corpse is for ease of transport. It’d be pretty silly to drag the whole body to the woods and then cut it to pieces.
Still, you never know where you’re going to wake up standing over a dead body, so you gotta be prepared.
