bow saws
Frame-mounted cutting blades
A bow saw is a hand saw with a narrow blade held taut by a curved or rectangular frame, resembling an archer's bow.
The tensioned blade cuts on both push and pull strokes, making it effective for cutting logs, branches, and lumber.
Bow saws are common tools for outdoor work and rough carpentry: We used a bow saw to clear fallen branches after the storm.
