handsaw
Manual lumber divider
A handsaw is a saw operated by hand rather than by motor—the traditional tool for cutting wood.
The blade has a toothed edge and a handle at one end.
Different types serve different purposes: a crosscut saw cuts across the grain, a ripsaw cuts along it.
He grabbed the handsaw from the toolbox and cut the board to length.
