Folding Saw - Coming Soon

I’ve been deeply immersed in a project that’s been close to my heart for quite some time, designing and crafting a foldable saw for those of us who cherish the art of working with greenwood.

The saw will be built for durability, functionality, and sustainability and will last for many years. The handle will be carefully crafted from ash wood, combining natural beauty with ergonomic comfort, while the saw blade will be designed to be resharpenable, ensuring it can serve for many years to come. My aim is to create a tool that’s not only practical for greenwood working but also aligns with my commitment to quality craftsmanship and respect for local natural materials.

This Folding saw is designed for outdoor, bushcraft, and sloyd activities. This saw draws inspiration from Danish heritage, embodying Danish design principles such as clean lines, functionality, the use of natural materials, and a deep rooted tradition of working with greenwood.

Many of us who enjoy the art of working with greenwood truly appreciate the precision and craftsmanship of a perfectly balanced carving axe or the razor sharp edge of a good carving knife. We dedicate hours of focused, almost meditative time to sharpening these tools, continuously refining our skills to achieve the perfect edge. It's a ritual that connects us to our craft and enhances the quality of our work.

However, when it comes to foldable saws, many of us end up using saws with plastic components. These folding saws are nearly impossible to resharpen, this issue is to the fact that the knowledge and skills for maintaining them have been lost over time. This often results in the frustrating need to frequently replace blades or, worse, the entire saw. Not only is this costly, but it also feels disconnected from the principles of craftsmanship and sustainability that we value so deeply in our other tools and the craft we cherish so much. A foldable saw should be just as reliable, enduring, and easy to maintain as the rest of our trusted greenwood working kit. Also the foldable saw should be just as cool to own and as good looking as the rest of our carving tools.

Stay tuned for updates as I refine the design and bring this project to life.
