About Handsaws

Handsaws cover a wide range of blade styles and sizes, from 5-inch compact drywall saws to a 29.9-inch long-blade pruning model. The 56 options in this category span a price range from $3.99 to $130.99 and represent three main cutting traditions: Western push saws, Japanese pull saws, and compact utility saws built for trade work. Materials range from carbon steel and high speed steel to hard chrome plated steel and alloy steel, each affecting edge retention and suitability for different cutting tasks. Buyer demand and owner ratings are the strongest signals here. The Silky 340-17 carries a 4.9-star rating from 2,066 verified owners, the highest in this category. The SUIZAN SR-001 has accumulated 9,700 reviews at 4.8 stars, reflecting years of consistent buyer satisfaction. At the compact end, the Goldblatt G08501A at 5 inches and $12.79 moves 1,000 units per month, which reflects how heavily tradespeople rely on short saws for plumbing, drywall, and electrical rough-in work. Narrowing the choice comes down to three questions: What blade length do you need? What material are you cutting? And how often will you use it? A 12-inch high speed steel saw like the LENOX 12132HT50 handles general woodworking and rough carpentry reliably. A 9.5-inch Japanese steel pull saw like the SUIZAN SR-001 gives finer control on trim and joinery. If you are cutting drywall or working in tight framing cavities, a compact 5-inch saw like the Goldblatt G08501A earns its keep faster than any full-length option.
