Handsaw choice...help!

[AA Teccie (Paul)]

Ow, ow, ow Christmas is coming (SORRY!) and as ever my wife n the kids are looking for alternatives to sox n beer...sounds fine by me!

 

Anyway my old Sandvik 21" is just about on it's last legs n I reckon it's about time had a 'fandabidozi' new trendy lookin hand saw, just for general purpose trimmin n pruning small 'bits n bobs' here n there (quite like the toughts of one in a scabard...kinda hang up from John Wayne n 'quick draw McGraw'!)

 

reckon about £30 quid tops.

 

Any thoughts..???

 

Cheers all.

Hi Paul. Good to see you at the APF.

 

Silky zubat, which ever you can afford but probably the small one is just over budget.

 

Silky, Gomtoro maybe cheaper.

 

As long as its Silky you can't go wrong. Other brands are available but they are not the real thing IMO.

i've got one of the "cutting edge" saws,,,,the lex,,

 

when that needs replacing i'll be buying a silky...

My silky gomtaro 240mm is good for small stuff and was pretty much bang on £30 from honey bros. Didn't check anywhere else but you may get it elsewhere cheaper

as with others, gotta be a Silky.

 

i used to like the straight bladed versions, but i am increasingly finding myself biassed toward a curved edge

I'm a silky zubat 330 around the £47 quid mark well worth the saving up a little more
