hand saw
Unplugged wood cutter
A hand saw is a saw operated manually rather than by motor—the traditional carpentry tool with a handle at one end and a toothed blade.
Various types exist for different cuts: crosscut saws, rip saws, hacksaws.
The term distinguishes these from power saws like circular saws or jigsaws.
Also spelled as one word: handsaw.
