ISO Craftsman 30 Inch Bow Saw Blade

[mudfoot]

This saw never let me down, but this evening I let it down. I pinched the blade and broke it when trying to remove it from a log. I really blew it and am quite upset with myself for not being more patient when trying to remove the blade. I'd like to get a replacement blade of a similar vintage since it worked so well over the years. The blade is 30 inches wide and 1 inch tall. It is labeled Craftsman, and as far as I can tell the saw is from the "red oval" Craftsman label era (1960s?). I'm crossing my fingers that someone out there has had an extra blade sitting around for 50+ years they're willing to sell.

I'm in the Raleigh area. Thanks.

Pretty sure 30" bow saw blades are universal. They come designed for green or dry wood.

Even Sears sends you to Bahco. I believe they used to make their blades or were spun off and still make blades that fit.

Bahco is about the only quality blade still made for this type saw. Several (10-15) years ago I made a batch of folding wooden bow saws and did an extensive search for blades. There are some cheap Chinese versions but the Bahco is the only one I could find of any value.
