Home improvement saw blade designed for efficient cutting of dry, seasoned wood and for cross-cutting fresh green timber, introduced as Bahco Bowsaw Blade. Sharp tooth geometry and tough steel reduce effort during long jobs, ideal for gardeners and timber workers who need reliable performance. Are hardened tooth tips and rust-prevention treatment enough for heavy, regular use?

⚡ At a Glance
  • Cutting Quality: Aggressive peg-tooth layout speeds cross-cuts and clears chips efficiently
  • Best for: Gardeners and woodworkers preparing firewood, pruning or general timber cutting
  • Not ideal for: Fine finishing cuts or applications requiring very smooth surfaces

Peg-tooth geometry makes fast work of dry seasoned timber and green wood. Efficient chip clearance keeps the cut tidy and reduces binding during repeated strokes.


Faster cross-cutting – with peg-tooth geometry

Peg teeth have larger, widely spaced points that bite into the timber and create deep gullets for chip removal. The tooth profile reduces tooth-on-tooth contact, so each stroke removes more material with less binding.

Quicker, more efficient cuts for pruning and firewood, reducing time and physical effort on long jobs.

Lasting edge life – with high-frequency induction-hardened points

High-frequency induction hardening selectively heats and rapidly cools the tooth tips, producing a hard, wear-resistant surface while keeping the blade body tougher. The result is a durable tip that resists dulling under repeated use.

Teeth stay sharp through prolonged sawing, meaning fewer blade swaps and more continuous work on site.

Lower corrosion risk – thanks to rust-prevention treatment

A protective rust-prevention treatment is applied to the steel surface to slow oxidation and surface corrosion during storage. The coating preserves the metal finish and helps prevent pitting in damp conditions.

Less maintenance after outdoor storage, so the blade is ready for use without extra cleaning or preparation.
