This review is from: Bond #593654 Green Thumb 21" Basic Bow Saw (Misc.)

I picked up this Green Thumb Bow Saw many, many years ago. It was cheap, but it's gotten a lot of good service, although most of the things I've done are pretty light duty. I've gotten angry at it for not sawing any easier or faster, and the blades haven't seemed to last very long.

Well, the last time I bought two new blades I picked up a pair that said they were made of Swedish steel. If only I could remember the brand name. These blades transformed my cheap old Green Thumb Bow Saw into a whole new instrument. It cut faster, more precisely and could handle even good sized logs. It was simply amazing. I now even use it for going camping and I never run out of fire wood. Plus, the Swedish steel blades have lasted a real long time.

Well, obviously, the performance of the bow saw is a function of what blades you use. My Green Thumb Bow Saw is cheap and minimal, but, really, that's all you need. The saw frame holds the blade firmly and the combination does the job nicely. But, put some effort into finding the very best blades.
