I have lost my small saw which had a 4 inch blade and plastic T handle which I used for splitting the sternum. I am sure I bought it through Bushwear but it is no longer advertised in their catalogue.
Any ideas where I could go to get another one? Many thanks
 
What colour handle did it have?
Gerber do a black handled one and Sagen do an orange, both which fit your description.

Have a look at moonrakerknives , very very good service. Purchased both my t shaped saws from them. Out of the two, the bush ware one is more comfortable to use.
 
We find the OutDoor Edge Flip n Zip saw sells well - nice and slim and orange handle for easy location:

He does, and they are ok on small animals but don't work on larger ones!
They are made from a boning knife (teeth ground on the cutting edge) which means that it is almost dangerously sharp, but the back of the blade is thick compared to the cutting edge. The teeth therefore don't cut a path for the back of the blade to follow and the saw just gets stuck in the sternum of a large beast. The teeth need to be either as wide as the blade or 'offset'.

I got in touch with Bushwear and they do a similar model to what I was looking for - Black Fox T Handle Game Saw @ £24.99 code 324644. In a nice bright orange colour this time so hopefully I wont lose this one?
Thanks for your advice/help.
 
Rooster,
I use the saw blade on the swiss army stalkers knife ( the one with the roe head on it ) . On the plus side it's nearly always in my pocket, it handles roe ( on my uk trips), sika and fallow female and young. The down side is it bends quite easily on old or large animals, and it takes a lot of cleaning afterwards.The short scalloped blade will split any young animal.
I've used a bushwear sternum saw and found the short travel quite uncomfortable and on smaller animals the line of cut can wander a lot.
If I'm carrying a rucksack I will have a pruning saw which I find very effective if it used as flat to the sternum as possible.

I wonder why most of these saws that I have seen( including the one I own ). Seem to have the grip the wrong way up! Anyone else notice this?

It is extremely sharp and I do agree that its hard work on a red. Because I am an idle sod I bought a Bosche keo cordless pruning saw and it works a treat.
