We have a Draper pull saw, and the blade is now blunt.
https://www.toolstation.com/tri-cut-pull-saw/p17458 It's under £7 for the whole thing, but I would prefer to buy just the blade as the handle is still good, and I'm on a mission to save the planet! Any ideas where to find a replacement blade, please? |

Why dont you try sharpening it - Even I wouldn't bother sharpening a blade that costs less than seven quid, I do sharpen Silky blades as they can be over £60 and I use a cheap diamond feather edge file.

AJH and i just like making thinks work again rather then throwing them in the bin - Fine, so do I but that one is not one I would do. If the OP wants to try it then as I said he will need a diamond file as these saws are induction hardened. The hardening is not very deep so you cannot do much. Many moons ago I enquired here about DIY induction hardening and got some pointers to cheap MOSFET devices but decided against building one because I doubted I could control the uniformity as I pulled the teeh through the heating zone.

If the OP wants to try it then as I said he will need a diamond file all you need is a dremel and small grinding cutoff wheel, and good eye sight the cheaper ones are not hardened to any great degree - |

A little bit tougher on the pocket, but Dozuki saws are the dog's danglies. |
