Bahco now has a handsaw system with an ergonomic handle with seperate blades. It's a bit heavy, but it is comfortable, and the blades feel a little sturdier than the other bahco handsaws (which in their turn are sturdier than the other brands that are sold round here (and cost less))

After getting the saw and 3 blades, I regretted for a moment not being a lefty, because that will keep other people from using your handsaw.
The locking system works pretty good, easy blade replacement (coarser or finer, depending on intended use), and the handle locks good, and can be used as a square with no play (I checked this, because I thought it could have play in it, or be less accurate than a normal (disposable) handsaw.)

I no longer use handsaws for carpentry.  When i was working in construction, and often put my old Diston or Sandvic to use, i was abidextrous, according to the situation.  Those Bahcos are either left or right.  I suppose one could always stand on their head while using the other hand from what the saw was meant for.   Grin Grin Grin

Sounds good. You can go to www.tool-industry.com, and various hand saws available!


Since you're doing so much of it, shouldn't your self-promotion be kept in the dealer area?  Members giving links to sites they aren't affiliated with is different that the constant references to your own web site.  Just my $.02

I agree Steve.  4 posts by toolindustry, and they are all shameless promotions for a website that the very poorly designed and seems to sell only crap.

I can't believe he thinks Festool owners would really be interested in what he has to offer.  What's next, Harbor Freight?
