Bow saw?
How is this different from the bow saw? Make the distinction clear in the article or consider merge. Kortoso (talk) 20:36, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
 * There are so many reasons why they're different: because multiple RS refer to them as separate devices, because they're used for different purposes, but the main one is that a frame saw has a frame. This is a rigid frame which allows a saw blade to be tensioned against it. A bow saw doesn't have a rigid frame, it has a stick with a loose lever balanced at each end, tensioned by a string windlass. Release the tension on a bow saw and the three pieces fall apart.
