This is sort of halfway between a coping saw and a hacksaw. |
This modern style is often used for cutting branches around the yard. It’s very light for its size. |
I put this here not because it’s a hacksaw, but because it’s the most elegant saw I have that looks like a hacksaw. It’s actually a meat and fish saw (the stainless steel blade gives it away). |

Bucksaw |
A coping saws has a very thin blade, and a frame like a buck saw to keep it tightly stretched. At some point, if the throat gets deep enough and the blade thin enough, people start calling these things fret saws instead. |
This model is like a powered coping saw. The whole C-frame moves up and down, holding the blade firmly. But there’s no way to have a blade guide because nothing above the table is stationary. |
Power coping saw. |
The more common style around here has a metal turnbuckle. |
The classic buck saw is most often seen in antique form. |

The oldest, simplest style of buck saw uses a twisted rope with a stick in the middle for tension. |
