It can't mate, it just jams as the bone is too thick and it won't seperate. You need a buddy to force the sternum apart as you cut. I've tried it on several now. I gave my yellow BDS one away as I was convinced that the DS one was better, but it wasn't a patch on it for the larger deer.

Would it be possible to set the teeth a bit wider with a 'saw set' to prevent it jamming?

Probably too brittle? Might have to anneal it and then harden again after?
It's just a boning knife with the tip ground away and teeth cut into the cutting edges, probably with one of those key cutting machines maybe?
Apart from that it's a lot of hassle and I shouldn't have to!
I'm going to look into getting something made myself I think.

That looks pretty much the same as the Gerber one which isn't too bad (but could do with being a bit longer).
I just ordered one anyway to see what it is like - came to £11.27 posted in real money which is good value if it works.
Will post a review when it arrives.
Cheers

I just did a bit of searching and found this also:
http://www.sageninc.com/ssii.html
The Sagen II which looks the business!
I tried the smaller one but the blade was too short for a larger animal. looks like they now have it covered?
Just need to find the best source now and buy one.
Anyone got one of these or know a retailer in UK?

I've never seen the need for a bone saw in the field, I appreciate that cutting the sternum does make a suspended gralloch slightly easier but not all that much.
I prefer to do minimum cuts in the field and then complete the process in the larder.
We do have one of those 'T' shaped saws in the larder which someone gave me to test, I don't like it but a couple of the guys do.
I just use a normal butchers bone saw.
