Jameson 11" Straight Blade Hand Saw

This Jameson 11" straight blade hand saw is a compact saw for small pruning cuts, crown cleaning and work in tight spots. It is light on the saddle and easy to control with one hand.

A compact saw for detail work

Not every cut needs a 13-inch blade. Crown cleaning, small deadwood and fine pruning cuts often happen in tight spots where a shorter saw is easier to control. The Jameson 11-inch saw is sized for that work and weighs less on your saddle.

A straight blade tracks predictably and works well for cuts at or below shoulder height. For bigger limbs or cuts overhead, a longer curved saw is often faster. Browse our hand saws and scabbards to compare.

It is also a good first saw for new climbers learning pruning cuts, because a shorter blade is easier to control and less likely to wander into a branch collar. On the ground it handles small limbing, cutting roots at planting time and trimming shrubs.

Carrying and care

When you carry a hand saw aloft, keep it in a scabbard on your saddle and make two-handed cuts away from your rope and lanyard. Follow ANSI Z133 and get trained before you climb.

Clean off sap after use and keep the blade dry. Replace the blade or saw when teeth are dull or the blade has a kink. Keep the scabbard clear of sawdust so the saw seats fully.
