Bacho hack saw blades are top quality!

As for the stanley knife I just use stanley blades.

The irwin ones do look good though.

I know you are after blades, but just thought I would chuck a knife in ...

Bought one of these a while ago and it is very nice to use - much better to hold and safer as well if your hands get a bit wet.
Takes standard blades as well

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman, "Where's the self-help section?"
She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

Eclipse hacksaw blades, what the RN issued, still have a stock of them after 20+ years. :oops: :oops:


Knife blades have a pack of 100 from Draper, last firm supplied. :oops: :oops:

Like the look of that knife Hoovie.
