    my past 3 disposable handsaws have been the irwin jack ones which sells under £10 , great saws but I think they last me only some 3-4months before they get bent/distorted and you can't cut straight with them anymore. Time to buy another saw and was wondering maybe there is something even better than those?
    I'm not interested in the old-school'' proper ancient saws'' or the super expensive ones which you can re-sharpen and off you go again and must keep as an hair-loom pieces, I'm after the disposable ones which you can pick up and go right off the bat and they will be razor sharp and cut like a dream.

    Seconded CGN and KIAB. 3-4 months!!! Are you lucky enough to work one day a week by any chance? I'm jealous, if a saws edge lasts more than a fortnight I'm very fortunate. Irwin evolution 22 inch blue and yellow handsaw is the best I've used for balance, flexible without blade distortion, and holds its edge the longest out of all I've tried, but is about thirteen quid a pop.

    I tend to go to b and q and take advantage of their Spear and Jackson two for a tenner, overall these are the best option in my opinion as they are pretty good disposable saws but at a fiver each you can't go wrong. Don't know if I'd buy them at a tenner though.....

    I have Bahco Ergo Handsaw System, a left handed large grip which fit changeable blades brilliant idea, I used to buy these blades, maybe 3 or 4 packs at a time.

    The blade use a thicker steel, so keep straight for longer, & it holds a good edge.

    Hunt around you can find the blades cheaper, & on Ebay, you can get them in a 10 pack.
