We inherited a dull bow-saw, some teeth were knocked out partially, too. Cutting with it kind of worked but I really want it to work at its best performance so I am very happy to learn how to sharpen a bow saw.

I watched the tutorial
I got the tools needed (flat, rattail and triangle and saw set)
I watched the tutorial again
I sharpened the bow sow on a healthy cold winter morning

The cutting experience did improve a lot 👌

Here at WL, I sharpened a bow saw using 3 different files, a flat, triangular, and round. I also raked the top before sharpening each tooth.

I'm pursuing SKIP to inherit property, check SKIP out for yourself!

Could you be my Otis/Otessa match?
