Josh's tape ball has gone through a seasonal change, it is now pumpkin size 🎃 do we have any updated weight guesses?

Some spooky saws for your feed 👻 in the last few years we've been making a couple of one-of-a-kind 'Frankensaws' every fall.

Josh had the idea of adding a tombstone with 'RIP' and 'X' for Rip and Cross-Cut. These are both spoken for, but keep an eye out for our upcoming special etched Christmas saws!

We got a new set of books from our favorite publishers 🙌

This time, we added a new book to our lineup, Set & File by Matt Cianci. This is a great read for learning the fundamentals of handsaws and backsaws like how to set and file your teeth. There's also valuable information on vintage saw restoration in this book. We have limited quantities available on our website now ➡️ BadAxeToolWorks.com

🎉🎊 Bad Axe is turning 15!!🎊🎉

Today marks a special milestone for us. It's been 15 incredible years since Mark Harrell and his late wife Yvonne founded our small business in 2009. What started as a passion for restoring handsaws in a basement has grown into a thriving, employee-run company.

None of this would be possible without the dedication of our amazing team and the support of our loyal customers. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being a part of our story. Here’s to many more years of craftsmanship 🪚❤️

To celebrate, we have a special offer on our website for 15% off all backsaws and handsaws, as well as bench hook sets and Bad Axe Apparel. Take advantage of this offer before 7/5! ➡️ BadAxeToolWorks.com

Have a great Fourth of July weekend 🇺🇲

It's been a crazy week in the shop with getting caught up after the Houston Trade Show. We came in for a few hours today to finish some custom orders! 🤠

We recently put out two releases of our new 17" Joiners Saw in which they both sold out within a couple of hours (THANK YOU ALL!). Please note that there's a technical error with our estimated completion notification, these orders take a minimum of 4 weeks for the custom handles. I appreciate everyone's patience while we finish them up!

Have a great weekend!

If you're signed up for our newsletters, I'm sure you've heard the news that we're officially retiring our 10" Half-Blind Dovetail! ✨

This small Saw has been a favorite among many for a number of years and we're sad to see it go. While we honor its legacy, we also look forward to the future of introducing new tools to the lineup. If you've been thinking about adding this gem to your toolkit, now's the time!

Tap the link in our bio to grab your 10" Half-Blind before they disappear. Once they're gone, they're gone forever! We only have a few left at the time of this post. Thank you for your continued support of our small business!🙌
