Antique Vintage Style Wooden Bow Saw Crosscut Buck Saw Farm Tool

Good frame saw with a poor quality blade. Once you change the blade it is great. For the price it is a five star saw !

This is a genuine working saw and not just for show, it will disassemble and break down (see Photos) but it will NOT fold down flat due to the way the blade attaches which is via 2 very small brass nuts & bolts. The rope/string looks like it is made of nylon so should be weather resistant. It cuts reasonably well but the biggest factor for this will be the type of blade and not the saw itself. I have some doubts over the strength of the brass nut and bolts holding the blade on, and I ex[ect it will be a real pain to change the blade when out in the wilds, so I will only be using this saw at home in the backyard to cut up fire wood. For the money I paid I was expecting something of far less quality so am happy with it.

Absolute beast, cut through really hard ash like it was butter leaving a clean looking cut. I bought this for medieval reenactment which will require the nylon string replaced with jute from the garden centre and the screws holding the blade replaced with pins or rivets, but both are easy jobs. The saw itself is well built and the blade is better than my much more expensive crosscut saw from a big chain hardware store.

Great bow saw, once sanded and linseed treated it now really looks smart, but of course the best feature is the way it tears through hard woods Ash and Cherry to date, I am pleased with this purchase due to the very reasonable price.

Awful, don’t bother buying this. Rust on blade, blade doesn’t stay straight when cutting. Teeth too small to cut anything bigger than a stick. Very cheap and not very cheerful. The best thing to do with this is use it for firewood. I thought it was worth a punt for the money, it wasn’t! I’ll not be so tight and buy myself a proper one.

Works well. Would have preferred a collapsible saw for storage purposes but very useful.

Needed a bit of adjustment and definately a sand to all the woodwork (which is everything except the blade and cord obviously) to avoid splinters, but otherwise this is an okay bit of kit if you spend time in the woods. Packs down well but a bit fiddly to get the blade in place or undone as the nuts are tiny. I shall have as think about a way to resolve this but as a whole is really not bad for the money.

Really good quality saw. This is an excellent and very real tool! Blade very sharp. Delivery as forecast, packaged well. Simple to assemble, less than 2 minutes!!
