Just about to cut up some moose bones to make a stock. I have multiple blades... Just wondering what you'd recommend for cutting bone.

thanks!

I would think a fine high-tooth count.
less bone fragments everywhere.

Pruning (Wet wood) blade. Fine toothed clogs up.

Fastest method is 5" cutoff blade in a grinder. Great for ribs especially. Just wipe it with a vinegar cloth after for the dust.

X2! Fine toothed blades definitely clog!

I found a course blade works the best, the fine ones clog like everyone else has mentioned. Also, you have to hold the bones quite tightly against the saw so the bone doesn't bounce around at a thousand miles a hour too!

If you have a cordless tool package don't use the saws-all use the skill saw or circular saw, the reciprocating saw vibrates and shakes the limbs way too much compared to the skill saw. With the saws-all you need some one to hold the limb or carcass secure but with the circ saw you can do it all by yourself. Use a regular or fine tooth blade. If you only have a 7 1/4 inch "plug in" saw be very careful , I'm not recommending this type of saw only the battery powered one unless you're an experienced carpenter/wood butcher as it will have more than enough power to bind up and possibly jerk & jump out of control. It will take a bit more clean up time but once you try it you'll find it far superior.

I christened my brand new, out of the box milwaukee 12V multi tool on my elk last season. used it to cut up the ribs, coarse wood blade wasn't to bad.

so, why is a meat-saw hacksaw fine-toothed then?
mine works like a hot-damn.

stay away from the ridged brand sawzall.
it has what seemed like a really cool design for inserting the blades.
but it's shit, the blades easily pop out and sometimes results in some good smashed fingers.

milwaukee all the way for me. smashed fingers=plenty of expletive language and/or maybe a tool toss lol. yes your right, the coarse wood blade for my multi tool is more fine toothed anyhow since its only about 2" in length.

I split a moose right thru the hump with a 12" milwaukee axe demo blade while it was hanging. Works like a hot damn. The butcher even made comment.
