Weston Butcher Meat and Bone Saw with 16 Inch Stainless Steel Serrated Blade with Quick Release Handle (47-1601)

WEston has GREAT products. I also have their 1.5 HP grinder and LOVE IT since 2019 and use a LOT to make raw dog food.

Good saw did its job well. Feels well made so should last for sometime.

The first thing I discovered on trying this saw out is that it's heavy and somewhat unwieldy for sideways or diagonal cuts. Not unsurprising, but it takes some getting used to. As with other reviewers, I found that cutting pork rib bones worked best on the back stroke at the beginning, simply because it's so sharp, you can't make progress on the forward stroke until there's a little bit of flat surface for the teeth to glide on. The other reviewers didn't mention that you have to secure the piece REALLY well or you risk your hands and fingers. I literally put the ribs in a vise to cut them. It will surely work best if you have a thigh of a beast that you can cut vertically rather than something like ribs that are too small for this big saw. Nevertheless, it's exactly what I wanted!

Most home cooks probably do not need this saw. It is much easier to buy exactly what one needs- asking the butcher to cut it as requested if necessary- and not have to bother oneself. I am not one of those home cooks. I AM a home cook... but we get almost all our meat from a meat CSA, and we are not really able to discuss the finer points of exactly how we'd like our beef shanks cut, for instance; we get what we get. And that's very high-quality and humanely-raised and pastured... but is sometimes not in a form that's easy to use. Like shanks and marrow bones. We get long bones; these are not most useful for cooking. Similarly with trotters. (I'll add that we specifically ask for these and the normal monthly subscription does not contain them.) This saw will make these and similar cuts SO much more useful! I am really excited! I'll add that I am an aspiring home butcher; I'm good at poultry, and am looking to try, say, a ham. And i need a saw for that. I've only given it a quick test thus far, but it seems very effective; the tricky part is to get the meat/bone held so that it can't slide around while one's sawing. I may need a vise for the kitchen, too. But- I am very pleased and excited about the opportunities I now have!

We definitely didn't need one this large but have never ordered or used one before. So I thought bigger was better. It did work great but I'd definitely recommend ordering a smaller one too. Great to break down something larger like sheep/ hog/beef. But really hog or sheep could use something under 40" probably easier.

The blade is worthless. The saw quality is very good but the blade binds in bone and is worse than useless.

Heavy duty, meat and bone saw.. It takes a heavy duty man to operate it though.

I dont use it often, but when I do it works great.

Excelente funcionamiento, y fácil de limpiar.

The meat saw was well packaged. The saw is easy to use as the handle is ergonomic in design resulting in less fatigue on the wrist. The saw cuts very easily. It is sturdy and well made. The directions on box are very useful when having to remove the blade.

Bloody Awsome great quality

Nice saw for cutting meat.
