Jameson Folding Tri-Cut Hand Saw

The Jameson Folding Tri-Cut Hand Saw uses a Tri-Cut tooth pattern that cuts on the pull stroke and clears chips well in green wood. It folds closed, so it rides in a pocket or pouch without a scabbard.

Where a folding saw fits

A folding saw is the one you keep in your pocket for small jobs: clearing suckers, cutting a branch that caught in the chipper chute, trimming a shrub while the climber is up. The Jameson folding Tri-Cut is light and cheap enough that losing one does not ruin the day.

The Tri-Cut pattern has three bevels on each tooth and cuts on the pull, so you are not pushing a thin blade into the wood. For bigger limbs or full-time climbing, step up to a fixed blade from our hand saws and scabbards.

Ground workers like having a folder on them because there is always a small cut to make between loads: a branch that will not lie flat on the brush pile, a root in the way of a stump grinder, or a stub left behind after a limb comes down. A folding saw handles those jobs without walking back to the truck.

Safe use and care

Make sure the blade is fully open and locked before cutting, and keep your free hand out of the cut line. Close the saw when you are done rather than tossing it open into a bucket or truck bed.

Wipe off sap and moisture at the end of the day. If the pivot gets stiff, clean it and add a drop of light oil. When the teeth go dull, replacing the saw is usually more practical than trying to file a hardened pruning blade.
