The Spear and Jackson Predator Wet Blade Bow Saw Blade is a high-performance replacement blade designed specifically for arborists, landscapers, and forestry professionals who frequently work with wet, live, and green timber. Its primary benefit is a specialized tooth geometry that prevents clogging and ensures rapid cutting speeds in high-moisture conditions, though users should note that the aggressive tooth design requires careful handling to avoid accidental injury during installation.

This blade features standard pin slots and is compatible with the vast majority of 21-inch bow saw frames available on the market.
It is designed for wet and live wood. While it will cut firewood, it is not as efficient as a specialized dry-wood blade once the timber has seasoned.
No, the blade is typically sold as a replacement component and does not include a permanent storage sheath.
The blade is made of hardened, tempered steel. While robust, it is not stainless and should be kept dry and lightly oiled to prevent oxidation.
The raker teeth are designed to clear sawdust and sap out of the kerf, preventing the blade from binding when cutting moist or green wood.
Check if you are cutting dry or seasoned wood; this blade is optimized for green, wet wood and may lose edge retention when used on hard, dry materials.
Ensure the tensioning lever on your bow saw frame is fully engaged and that the pins are seated correctly in the slots.
Verify that the teeth are oriented in the correct direction (pointing toward the handle) and check for excessive resin build-up on the blade surface.
To install, simply release the tension on your existing 21-inch bow saw frame, slide the pins of the old blade out of the frame housing, and insert the pins of the new Predator blade. Ensure the teeth are pointing towards the frame handle to allow for a proper cutting stroke. To maintain the blade, wipe it down with a light machine oil after use if you have been cutting particularly sappy timber, as resin build-up can interfere with the tooth efficiency over time. Always store the saw in a dry location to prevent premature rusting of the hardened steel.
