21" Ergo? Handle Bow Saw Frame and Blade For Dry Wood

This is a good saw for my purpose. I needed a saw to cut down standard sized fire wood for my Solo Ranger stove. I also purchased a 'laplander' folding saw before buying this bow saw. The laplander is nice (and I'll keep it); however, the bow saw is far more practical and efficient for my needs. This BAHCO bow saw rips through wood. I've so far used it to halve several bundles of locally bought firewood, and a couple bundles of wood sourced from the in-laws.

Have both the 24" and 21" and great saw and blades. Got spares for both green and deadwood. A 5" in diameter, albeit Spanish Broom, was done in half the time my old one would have taken and no fatigue. Clean and uniform cut. Love the handle and maneuverability. A plus is the tensioning knob for the blade. Great and comfortable handle.

The pointed end makes pruning much easier and the handle is plenty comfortable even with gloves. Tensioning knob is a smidge small but is a very welcome addition vs the standard version. A solid saw all around for the size with green wood and dry wood blades.

I cut tree limbs in the 6-7” range with this saw. Perfectly balanced and one-handed cuts are practically effortless.

I'll update this OOTB review once I've had a chance to actually use the saw. Title of review says it all. The plastic fitting to tighten the blade is worrisome.

I take this up with me to do tree work. Easily gets through most limbs before I gotta haul up the chainsaw. Yea, it's bigger than a pistol grip saw, but I like the hand protector and it cuts aggressively. Doesn't take many pulls to get through a 4" branch. Also, it hangs easily on nubs and you can catch branches with it after cutting through and ease em down.

Good construction. Easy to use. Easy to replace blades. 9/10

Cut through 8 inch diameter wood with ease. Super sharp and cuts very fast. Compared to using my bahco folding saw this gets the job done in half the time.

Ich habe diese Bügelsäge zum Sägen größerer Äste bestellt. Die Säge (mit dem gelieferten Sägeblatt) hat einfach eine traumhafte Schnittleistung (zumindest verglichen mit Baumarkt-Bügelsägen/Blättern). Äste (Frischholz-Süßkirsche) mit ca. 15-20 cm Durchmesser sind kein Problem für die Säge (ist unter einer Minute machbar). Ebenfalls positiv anzumerken ist der Haltegriff, der sehr gut ermüdungsarmes Sägen ermöglicht. Und dann noch die Flügelschraube zum Wechseln des Sägeblattes - ein sehr einfaches und robustes Wechselsystem. Mein Fazit: diese Säge hat sehr gute Schnittleistung, bequem im Gebrauch und relativ preiswert, insgesamt sehr gutes Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis. April 2013 - Nachtrag: nach längerer Nutzung der Säge kann ich mich nur wiederholen: die Säge und vor allem das Sägeblatt ist jeden Cent wert - Sägeleistung ist immer noch hervorragend.

this is one of the best bow saws i have used. would not hesitate to recommend it

parfait, j'ai pu couper les buches trop longue sans probléme et la lame est toujours nickel

Great saw, well made, good value. Keep it in the bike. The one complaint I have is that the grip is very smooth plastic. Rubber or some texturing would make this great. For now, hockey tape does the trick.

Great saw, Light & cuts really well,good handle for price - people with very large hands will find it more comfortable - those of us with smaller hands just have to grip harder. This is more comfortable that one i had before but could be improved. What i really really like about it is that it's made in Portugal. Probably the only item i've been able to replace in maybe even years not made in China & i'm getting really fed up with that. Wonder if they make a Microwave that can last than a few months! I need to get a new standard wood saw & it will likely be a Bahco too.
