A buck saw is a small, portable hand saw that is typically used in outdoor applications and has a blade that is made from a single piece of metal. It is designed to be used with a handle that is attached to the blade and the handle is usually made from wood. The buck saw is most commonly used for cutting logs to length, for cutting firewood, and for cutting branches. It is also used for trimming small limbs and for cutting other objects such as boards, pipes, and metal rods. The buck saw is designed to provide a clean, accurate cut with minimal effort and in a short amount of time. It is usually used with a two-handed grip and the blade can be adjusted to the desired depth and angle. The blade of the buck saw is usually made from high-carbon steel, which is heat-treated for strength and durability.
