aris Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 I was looking myself recently. This one is not too bad of a price - though it comes from Germany and they have a 30 pound minimum order value. http://www.askari-fishing.co.uk/__WebShop__/product/fishing/fishing-accessories-3/knives-fishing-tools/machetes-axes-choppers-and-saws/butchers-saw/detail.jsf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aris Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 So what did you do, replace the blade for a stainless one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin lad Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 Took the blade in that it came with as the teeth are too fine and changed it for a more coarse blade what you use in butchers saws had to cut it down and drill hole in each end for the pins works a treat colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outlander Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 Have a look in some tool catalogues as you can get different TPI hacksaw blades. Outlander Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malkiserow Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 here you go the black saw is a proper butcher's saw and the red one is the cheep hack saw i done Cracking idea..... I've been using an old hacksaw..... But that looks tons better. Coarser teeth are what is needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
