In 2021 you buy another one.
Yep, or buy a new blade which will cost more than one of these…
In the old days when they generally had offset teeth people would use a tool to reset the teeth and sharpen them with a file… I believe most modern ones are fairly straight hardened ground teeth which you cant do much with…
Correct. Can't be sharpened. Hardened steel so throw it away.
*If you have your parents or your grandparents saws….different story as they can be sharpened.(and access to a saw doctor.Yes there are still a few around)
I bought a tool online for a bow saw. It realigns the teeth. It's called a tooth kerfer. Or tooth setter.

Works a treat.
This is a good deal
It's a cut above the rest for this price.
I saw what you did there.
25 year warranty? Wonder what that covers?

Cheap cheap
Sharp price
Sorry… Your pun just doesn't make the cut…
I saw what you did
Bought one. Why? Don’t ask me.
Hi OP, is this any good for cutting human bones? Asking for a friend. Thanks
Its a bow saw not a bone saw!
You say tomato, I say tomato?
BONE SAW IS READY
Depends if the friend is dead or about to be dead.
Yes it is very good for that purpose.
According to a "friend", its strong enough for bone, but not strong enough for hand cuffs.
Hello OzBaggins…
I want to play a game…
I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER
Wazzzuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup!??!!?!?
Popular at Saudi embassies
Click & Collect at Bunnings Istanbul.
I didn't know Istanbul was in Saudi ;)
Favourite tool of MBS (aka Mr Bone Saw, as the despot is referred by his American buddies in the CIA).
Is your friend dead yet ?
GAME OVER
Yes Sir Peter Dutton sir this comment right here
I need to return some videotapes.
Just picked mine up and can confirm it can.
How does this shoot arrows?
Magnets
How do they work?
Ordered x2 for those Necro / Sopranos / Goodfellas moments
You missed out Dexter.
Also Jinx
Thanks OP. This is a real bargain. For those that have Powerpass you can get it for $4.75.
Can you use Powerpass and Bunnings gc online for C&C (in case runs out)?
I don't see any option for C&C on my PowerPass account so I assume it is only available at that price in store. Personally I've ordered 4 for C&C @ $5 as it's a bargain either way.
I couldn't see how to use Power Pass?
It's Bunnings trade account. You'll need an ABN and can sign up here https://www.bunnings.com.au/trade/powerpass
it seems having an ABN is not enough. You also need to be either a tradie, or "those who require materials for building services, or who are undertaking their own build or project as an owner builder"
Can someone confirm please?
@aec: Not really. I sell online and require polishing solution for the items I sell so I selected "Cleaner" as my trade and I had no problems setting up an account. I don't think they check these details as my business name has nothing at all to do with cleaning.
@aec: I have an ABN and am not a tradie and had no problem getting Powepass - no questions asked.
It's worth getting if you can.
@R4: Same here. But I needed to register a business name as well.
First attempt I tried, signed up online and they wanted me to show them a recent invoice or quote. I gave up then.
Second attempt, I registered a business name in addition to the ABN, and then went to the trade desk to sign up. No questions asked.
@R4: Thank you guys. I will give it a try. In the next 12-18 months, i will need to do some house renovation work (a DIY type….)
I have an ABN for 3D Printing or building objects out of plastic. AKA "Builder"
good find OP Thx
Thx OP. Might need it, someday.
Thank you OP! Going to have a good use.
These are usually razor sharp when new and are very handy for camping.
I… saw… this was a good deal so had to buy one
Thank you OP, got one.
If only it was a pruning saw for me… it might be worth getting one purely for the blade hmm. I have all the 73cm bow in the shed. Never tried Fisker… how does it compare to irwin tools?
Fiskars is a premium brand, at least equal to Irwin.
See my comment below. This is just rebranded Chinese rubbish made for Fiskars.
Got one last week. Very sharp and made very short work of the pieces I needed to cut. It's a bit on the shorter side though for the full strokes and I can see it getting annoying pretty quick if used frequently. Pity no sales on the bigger versions.
The size is probably why it is on clearance but for the price it should pay for itself in no time if someone has no better option.
It's a bit on the shorter side though for the full strokes
I lol'ed
Don't know why I need it, but I bought it
I suppose $5 is a great price for anything made by Fiskars - even the badge :p
It's not made by Fiskars and it's not made in Finland. This is cheap rebranded Chinese junk.
Source: purchased one this morning.
Is the saw actually any good at cutting thick 10-15cm branches?
It will do it but it will be hard work and not efficient. You need a chainsaw.
Just use a sawzall…
Thx OP. Got one more my spare hacksaw.
It's not a hacksaw.
Thank you, you are right.
I already have two hacksaws, and this is exactly what I need.
Does not work for SAW parties.
Any good for hacking through lamb bones so it can fit on the spitt?
Hacking up spit on the lamb… and you wonder why no-one comes to your parties.
I gave this saw, at full price. I used it to cut back thick tree branches. Very good and easy to use.
With 2600+ clicks there's going to be some cancelled orders tomorrow.
Pop in the morning and grab one of the shelf before anyone.
The prophecy has been fulfilled.
Bought 2 even though I live in an apartment.
OzB users in a nutshell.
We can cut out of a nutshell with this saw…
Use caution around human body parts.
Well, it's $7 to replace the blade if it breaks (with a Cyclone branded one, which may be worse than Fiskars), so figured I may as well buy another one for spares.
Doesn't negate the fact that I don't have anything to cut…
The Fiskars 360° Servo System Grass Shears is reduced to $15 too from $29 and $43 according to PriceHipster
This is handy for pruning scrubs. Bought one. Thanks!
I ordered this 2hrs after placing an order for the saw. This is ready for pickup but radio silence on the saw. I have a feeling cancellation email incoming.
Don't know why I need this when I have already electric pole saw and reciprocating saw with pruning blades, but bought it anway.
Bought one now want to cut
just bought one from bunnings.
heaps of stock available.
please note: this is made is china , not made in finnish.
As lazydesi stated above.
I just picked mine up and attacked a tree. It cuts well but is definitely not your traditional fiskars quality.
It has fiskars written on it but when you look closely it says made in China for fiskars.
It's just a rebranded cheap Chinese bow saw. Don't get your hopes up. For $5 it's still good value but not any better than the $8 Saxon branded saw.
I have one of these with a spare blade. It's in the shed. Bought a couple of years back to cut a ~100mm branch on a citrus tree.
It's yours if you want it. The saw, I mean.
Only thing is, the blade retainer & tensioner (flimsy as all fvck) snapped on the second outward stroke.
(I finished up spending a bit more for a name brand one.)
Which brand/s did you get and which others do you recommend?
I would recommend irwin , bahco , fiskar (made in finland).
How do you sharpen the blade on these things?
