the cutting portion forming a toothed longitudinal edge and a longitudinal back edge situated opposite the toothed edge;
a line of cutting teeth disposed substantially entirely along the toothed edge;
the cutting portion including opposite side surfaces extending between the back edge and the toothed edge and forming side surfaces of the teeth;
a distance between the back edge and the toothed edge defining a height of the blade;
the teeth having rake faces ground therein in a first of the side surfaces and intersecting a second side surface to form front and rear cutting edges on each tooth;
the first and second side surfaces of the blade being concavely curved whereby a thickness of the blade defined between the side surfaces varies from adjacent the toothed edge to adjacent the back edge;
a narrowest thickness of the blade defining a waist of the blade;
the waist disposed closer to the toothed edge than to the back edge in a maximum-height region of the blade.

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.
