What do you use your saw for?

[Toolslinger]

Honestly, the best hand powered saw for sheet rock that is SAK sized, at least in my experience, is the fish scaler! Use a round needle file to just touch the edge up, and rips through dry wall without picking up a lot of crud.

Gotta love how most people use the fish scaler for everything but scaling fish .

Never needed it.  I was also cut really bad with one as a kid so I dont tend to like them much.  For me the metal saw/file is much more valuable than the wood say.  I think vic should release urban farmers with the metal saw instead off wood.

Although I've owned Campers, Hikers & Farmers, I've never used the wood saw yet!

An "Urban Farmer" sounds more like it.
Do you think it would be possible to mod a Farmer by changing the wood saw for a metal file/saw using the same backspring?

I think it is same backspring but I'm not sure.

I've used it for cutting through plastic and as a comb.

I don't use one very often though.

I like having the SAK or Rebar saw handy for small branches. I don't use it a lot, but it's there to save the day when I need it.

Out hiking with the dogs yesterday and cleared some blowdown with the saw on my Workchamp.

Yes absolutely, the metal saw works perfect with wood saw backspring.

Thanks for the info.
It's stiring the thought of a perfect alox mod for me.
Once I get back to work (another 2 months convalescing yet) I just need to find a metal saw, pruning blade, electricians blade & suitable blade backsprings.

I'm an organic gardener and also like to whittle, so I use it on wood very frequently.

A great secondary use I have discovered is that it is a great bread knife.

BTW, the teeth can be CAREFULLY sharpened with a triangular file.  I've done it a couple times after watching some youtube video on it.

I have also heard of sharpening the Vic saw by laying it flat on its side and working it over a flat sharpening stone, then repeating with the other flat side of the saw.  I haven't tried this myself, however, as my Vic saws don't get used often and none have gotten to the point of needing resharpening.
