Blades for my bow saw

Several of you in the USA have asked for the bowsaw blades I used in the USA frame saw. I used these made by Milwaukee and found them excellent.

I found these in The Home Depot store but I am sure you can get them online too. This type doesn't have the wavy corrugated edge as other metal-cutting bandsaws do. I get three bow saw blades from one of the blades and three bow saws per pack so I think maybe five years of blades. I have two bow saws and keep one for wood and the other for metal. The metal cutting saw has 18 TPI blades.

These are dovetails cut with the 14 TPI blades straight from the pack with no alterations except cutting them to length and boring the holes each end.
