Carvers Keyhole Saw - 135mm
Carvers Keyhole Saw - 135mm
This is a saw for those who work at small scales, and aren't necessarily looking for just straight cuts but would also like the possibility of some gentle curves entering their sawing routine.
This saw has quite big teeth for it's size, giving it a certain amount of speed but also making it easier to work with in soft or green woods rather than very hard timbers.
We find it useful for hogging off the corners of carving blanks that would otherwise take a while to rasp off, and for putting in stop cuts for a knife to work to.
