I undid the previous version because the terminology used doesn't exist in any published literature on English or American tools in any context I know about - expecially saws. Give me a relevant citation and I happy to be corrected Mathison2006 04:15, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

-hmm, I have heard this type of saw being refered to as a Bowsaw.... I have added some incite into this matter on the Fretsaw page. I think that this 'cheap' type of tube bent saw was termed in common vernacular as such, because of it's overall similarity to a bow as used for violins and cellos. Maybe this could be cited as such. here is a picture of an actual bow-saw , [1] , this one though I can't see the traditional peg. Erlyrisa 04:18, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

-I have restored one of the two links removed; one link turned out to be a dead-link while the other does not look like link spam (the detailed article). I am not sure why this was considered linkspam. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 12:10, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Have edited the links, they mentioned names and parts for sale etc, which made them look like link-spam Leevanjackson (talk) 19:40, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
