The Bahco 244 Hardpoint 22in Saw is a 22-inch (approximately 560 mm) handsaw intended for general carpentry and joinery cutting of both softwoods and hardwoods. Its primary use is accurate, straight hand-cutting of timber for on-site framing, trim work and workshop joinery where a robust, reliable manual saw is required.

The blade is manufactured from high carbon tool steel and incorporates Bahco’s Hardpoint technology, with the tooth tips induction‑hardened to extend cutting life and resist wear. The 22in blade is ground and set for clean cutting; the teeth are arranged for general-purpose crosscutting (medium TPI specification suitable for smooth cuts in a wide range of timber species). The blade has a protective finish to reduce surface corrosion during storage and daily use and is heat treated to maintain blade straightness and edge retention. The saw features an open pistol‑style handle moulded from impact‑resistant polymer with a soft overmould for improved grip and reduced hand fatigue during repetitive cutting. As a hand tool, there are no threaded components, head types or drive profiles applicable.

Manufactured under controlled quality processes and produced in line with ISO quality management systems, the Bahco 244 conforms to the expectations of recognised DIN/ISO/BS hand tool standards for dimensional accuracy and safety where applicable. The Hardpoint teeth hardness delivers extended life compared with plain ground‑tooth saws, while the polished/finished blade improves corrosion resistance when used on site.

Typical applications include site carpentry, door and window fitting, skirting and moulding cutting, rough carpentry and DIY timber trimming. Industries using this saw include construction, joinery, furniture making and building maintenance teams who value a dependable manual cutting tool when power is unsuitable or unavailable.

Key benefits are long tooth life thanks to induction hardening, reduced rusting from the blade finish, consistent straight cuts from a stable hardened blade and an ergonomic handle for comfortable repeated use. Duchy Fasteners stocks the Bahco 244 Hardpoint in the 22in length and carries a range of related sizes and replacement saws and blades, available as single items or in trade packs to suit workshops and site crews.
