Would suggest a butchers bone handsaw like this

Butchers Handsaws

 

[Essex stalker]

Bushwear sell them

 

[VSS]

Depends if it's for use in the field or the larder?
For butchering, a Jewson's hard point wood saw is better than any proper bone saw I've ever had!
In the field I use one of those little T handled saws from Bushwear.

Yes it's for larder work I've got the "T saw" for the field which is fine.
Will have a look at Jewsons.
Thanks Steve.

Thanks Steve.

They're cheap and cheerful - a fraction of the price of a proper butcher's saw. I use one for all my butchering now (sheep, pigs and deer) and have done for years, ever since I discovered how expensive replacement blades would be for my blunt butcher's saw!

Any hacksaw with a wood blade. I have a junior in my gralloching bag, and a proper one for butchering. Easy to clean, especially the plastic ones, and simple and cheap to swap the blades.

I use the saw that Rob of Monarch sells and have found it well up to the job with replacement blades always available from Rob.

In the field e.g. at the truck I use a castrom hand saw, in the larder one from Rob @ Monarch.

 

[wytonpjs]

+1 for Monarch - field saw from Bushwear - cracking value

 

[lochty]

#1 for the Bushwear one, providing you use it for just larder work and don't cut heads with it, the blade will last a long time.

Can you please indicate which Jewson's saw you chose ?

Any of the plastic handled hardpoint general purpose wood saws with 7 teeth per inch will be fine. Not just Jewsons - all the DIY type places do them, often under a tenner.

The reason for that though is butchers saws and blades are food safe. A wood/hack saw from a builders merchant will most defiantly not be. So small chards of metal etc can break of and also any livery on the wood saw blades I e manufacturer or writing of any kind will in time remove from the saw and taint any meat. This livery ink/die will also not be food safe.

I second this... excellent bit of kit for the money!!..... perfect for all sizes of deer as opposed to the bigger saws which are a pain on roe

 

[Londoner]

A butcher's bone saw is what I use. It depends how many carcasses you are processing, obviously...

 

[Klenchblaize]

Keep it in the vehicle for quick and painfree carcass breakdown:

Cut a short length of aluminium U channel stock of the appropriate guage to act as blade protector. Held in place by elastic. This way you don't need to find a suitably sized box to store it.
