Just go to HomeyD and buy a pruning saw.

Its not offensive. It's true. I've bought way to much stuff from China that's poorly made.

The blade says "Made in Sweden" in the first pic and these saws are made in the USA. I've got 2 versions of the Wyoming Saw and none of the blades say that. I've never seen one like the one in OP.


That's ok, I'll ass shoot a dink.

clamp the saw in a vise and flex it so the ends move towards each other and then slip the blade over the posts. I have to do this on older bow saws that the Scout Troop has.

I just got in a Jam for a similar comment. That is why I said that. I know it is very true.

I finally got around to calling Wy Saw and spoke to a helpful fellow there. From the description I gave him, it rang no bells and he said he has been with them for about 20 years. I sent an email with a couple pictures and got the below response:

"Paul, I discovered this saw was sold briefly by us over 35 years ago. To get the blade to fit the handle requires the frame to be pushed or flexed against a fixed object (like the floor). The frame will flex just enough for the blade to fit the pin in the handle."

I tried it this morning and it in fact worked. They also offered to 'make it work' if I couldn't get it to flex enough...I assume by retrofitting a tension screw. A pretty good offer, but I think I'll probably just rely on the flex approach to get it assembled.

Thanks to all for the help and suggestions.
