Bone saws

[whalebone]

I have a bow saw and would like to turn it into a bone saw. I was wondering what peoples opinion are on saw blades. What would work best, metal saw blade, wood saw blade or is their a game saw blade.
I'm not too interested in cutting my game with a chain saw but we will have that option with us. Any feed back would be great.

Princess auto has bone saws on now 25" for $14.99 it's a good price. I don't know if you can get a bone saw blade to sit tight enough in a bow saw to cut properly?

A wood blade works just fine. A metal blade would fill up with blood, marrow, etc pretty fast I would think and not cut very well.

i use a cordless recip saw with an agressive toothed wood blade

butchers use a fine tooth saw, as this way you do not get bone chips, that course saw blades cause, and a bone bough from a buttcher supply shop are fairly cheep. and you can also get extrea bleads as well..

I use a colgen camp saw. It cheap and you can replace the blade. I've had expensive "folding" saws and they all brake. The best saws dont slide in to the handle, but rather fold in so they will not cut you while your working on an aniamal.
