Hälsing 180 mm

 

 

Hälsing is a durable, folding hand saw with a traditional high-carbon steel blade, designed for frequent and heavy use. It's ideal for those who require a sturdy yet compact tool for bushcraft, camping, and hunting. Whether you're building a shelter, preparing firewood, crafting, clearing paths, or maintaining woodlands Hälsing will do the job. With proper care, this saw will be a trusted companion, wherever your path leads you throughout the seasons.

 

 

High Carbon Steel

 

 

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.

 

 

Versatility with a 7 TPI Blade

 

 

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.

 

 

Ease and Efficiency with a 3-phased Grind

 

 

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.

 

 

Clean Cuts with a Concave Blade Profile

 

 

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.

 

 

Backpack-Friendly

 

Our foldable saw is designed with adventure in mind. They are developed to be compact and portable and to fit easily into your backpack without taking up too much valuable space. When folded, the blade is sheathed, protecting not only the blade but also you and your gear. The blade locks securely in the folded position, ensuring safe storage and preventing any accidental wear or damage.

 

 

A Robust Handle Made with American Oak

 

 

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.

 

 

Each Saw, a Unique Story

 

 

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.
