The Hälsing blade is made from a high carbon steel with a black oxidation and a clear coat that reduces the risk of rust. These blades have excellent sharpness and edge retention properties. They also have great ductility, making them a great choice for heavy-duty use.
With a teeth pitch of 7 TPI (teeth per inch) these saws can handle both green and dry wood, as well as softwood and hardwood. It is a versatile compromise for all your outdoor needs. These saws are also capable of cutting through other materials such as plastic and bone. But do remember that bone is quite abrasive and will wear down any blade more quickly than wood.
Our saws feature a 3-phased grind that saw on the pull, i.e. when you pull the saw towards you. This gives you more control, minimizes the risk of buckling and puts less strain on both you and the saw. The teeth are hardened to 62 HRC for a durable sharpness. Our tooth geometry also has more spacious gullets which helps to shed sawdust and mulch efficiently, keeping the cutting path clear and reducing drag.
Unlike saws with set teeth, our blades instead feature a concave grind along the side of the blade to prevent binding. This produces very clean cuts. While set teeth will leave marks on the wood surface parallel to the cut, our teeth are flush with the blade, resulting in fine, smooth surfaces. This design is ideal for tasks like pruning trees, where a clean cut is crucial for the tree’s ability to protect itself and heal effectively.
Our handles are designed with a timeless style that echoes centuries of hand tool traditions and craftsmanship. The oak is sustainably sourced in the USA and offers a natural tactile feel. A pronounced stop at the back ensures a secure grip and efficient power transfer as you pull the saw. Each handle is finished with linseed oil, a traditional treatment that protects the surface and enhances the wood’s rich tones and natural beauty. Please remember that since wood has natural variations in color and grain, each handle has a unique character and might not look exactly like in our images.
We love old tools and have designed our saws to last, and to age with grace. With time, each saw will tell a unique story, bearing the marks of your journeys and adventures. We hope that someone will love it and care for it long into the future and to keep track of its roots, we have etched an individual number on each saw, documenting its origin. You’ll find the number where the blade meets the handle, and hopefully this will be part of a, perhaps small, but great story.
Our saws are a great gift and they come beautifully packaged in a premium box, making them the perfect gift for any outdoor enthusiast. No need for wrapping paper — just add a bow and you are ready to go.
Keep the blade clean and dry while not in use. Apply oil to the blade for extra
protection, especially if you have exposed it to harsh environments such as by the sea.
If mulch and saw dust gets stuck between the teeth, it’s easier to get
rid of it while it’s fresh, it tends to get stuck harder when it dries.
The saw can be completely dismantled if needed for cleaning or maintenance.
No special tools are required to open the saw, only two torxs T25 screwdrivers.
Please remember that the wood can expand and contract due to changes in
humidity, and this can affect the fitting of the different parts, so we
recommend that you avoid dismantling the saw unless it’s necessary. If you
dismantle the saw, make sure to put it back together again directly afterwards.
For the handles we’ve chosen American oak because it is a hardwoods, yet still a natural material. We only treat it with linseed oil to preserve the natural feel, don’t
hesitate to apply more when needed.
Do not store or attempt to dry the saw close to a heat source, the rapid
changes in temperature and humidity can cause unnecessary expansions and contractions in the wood.
