Saw Blade on A Slipjoint Question

[Will Power]

Yes, the SAK Farmer's saw is no toy and is really useful for DIY in the home, in the garden or out on a walk. As others have noted, in confined spaces or for cutting small circles it shows brilliance.

There is a long history of saws on Traditional knives, they were common on Stag handled hunter's knives from Germany in the c20th, used presumably for sawing bone...French multi-tool knives from even further back used to have them.

GEC had a saw on the 15 pattern Strek some years back, matched with micarta scales for durability. They learned from a previous venture with saws..I can't remember the pattern but I thought it looked hideous like some monster Cockroach Apparently, its saw was not much good either and the whole frame offered compromised grip. I'm sure somebody has a picture of the thing somewhere...

It was, is, a Lumberjack, and it's not okay:

(Sans saw, the single-blade Lumberjack pattern is fantastic.)

My favorite traditionals have wood saws on them. They're quite handy for outdoor work.

Is that the saw that didn't work?

Hey stranger! Did r8shell's new SAK (below) bring you back to us?!

View attachment 720203 I'm carrying my new (to me) blue SAK. I think it's a Farmer.
And some ebony, because it's Wednesday.

This one is very useful in the garden even for serious tasks.
