I don't recogize the handle system. The blades look wonderful. Beats my plastic hobby saw.

Definitely looks like a must add to the tool box tool.
Thanks for the heads up.

I use these utility knives all the time at work. The ones I use are made by OLFA but you can get them from other manufacturers too. Try a home improvement store or a Michaels craft store. This is a must have for me.

Be advised that the more expensive "snap-off" blade handles are not necessarily the best for these saws? I recommend one that has a long "peg" to go through the hole in the blade. Also, a bit of filing will have to be done on the carrier attachment points to insure smooth action. Thankfully, the most expensive handle I found was less than $10.

As soon as I find a handle for this product, I will be "off to the races", hacking away at resin plugs!

To Steve:
Take a look at these types of handles -
