Abstract: A handsaw includes a blade having a toothed cutting edge pivoted to a handle. The handle includes a frame and a tooth protecting element. The tooth protecting element is pivoted to the frame to be swung between a working position and a retracted position. Each of the frame and the tooth protecting element includes a gap, whereby when the tooth protecting element is in a retracted position, the gaps are aligned to receive the blade. When the blade is in a retracted state, a portion of the cutting edge is exposed to enable purchasers or users to know what type of cutting edge is provided on the blade without having to move the blade to a working position.

Abstract: A sheath for secateurs comprises an elongated tray provided at an upper end with a mounting clip and at a lower end with an open rim extending along an outer periphery of the tray and consisting of a bottom rim portion and two vertical portions. The sheath is made from a polymer, and the rim vertical portion are elastically deformable and provided with retaining tongues serving to retain a secateur in the sheath.

Abstract: A pruning saw includes an elongated sawblade which has a line of cutting teeth. Opposite sides of the blade extending between the line of teeth and the back edge are concave. A thinnest waist between the concave sides is located closer to the line of teeth than to the back where the blade has its maximum height. A front edge of the blade forms a rounded corner where it intersects the back edge.

Abstract: A sheath for handsaws of the kind having an elongated toothed blade and a handle at one end includes an elongated body with an open groove along the majority of the length of the body to receive the tooth line of the saw. Near a free lower end, the body carries a cover which releasably holds the free end of the saw blade. At the opposite upper end there is a clamp which releasably holds the handle portion of the saw. This makes it possible to release the saw from the sheath by small, comfortable swinging motions.
