Norse Woodsmith Backsaws

Norse Woodsmith Backsaws

Hand Made Saws by Leif "Nordic" Hanson

Norse Woodsmith backsaws are each individually handmade by Leif Hanson in his own home shop.

Each saw is unique and embedded with its own individual history through the use of vintage saw hardware, and often times restored saw blade steel.
