Hi Gail,

You could shop your local home stores or hardware stores, or just go to Amazon. No mask needed there.

Bahco Bow Saw #9 All Purpose – 3/4" x 36" blade

I have a 21-inch and a 36-inch bow saw, and I use my 36-inch model pretty much all of the time. And the 3/4-inch wide blade works better.

Appreciate that info zen_man. We have a sturdy bow saw from many yrs ago but the blade has seen better days. Went to Lowe's and every bow saw frame, including Bahco, was flimsy. Not surprised since that seems to be the way things are going these days. Of course, we could pay 5 times the price and get something close to the quality of the old saw, but that's not happening.

Is yours new? We're trying to find out if we can just replace the blade, but want to make sure it's a sturdy one.

Hello Gail,

They do sell replacement bow saw blades in hardware stores and home stores. So that would be the way to go. And, of course, Amazon also sells bow saw blades. You will need to know the length (and width) of blade that yours is.
