A wide, tapered steel blade about 20 inches long with a pistol-grip handle and teeth ground for crosscutting. Modern hardpoint teeth stay sharp for a long time but cannot be resharpened. Look for a comfortable handle and a blade that flexes back straight.
Buying tip
A sharp 20" crosscut handles what the power saws can't reach. Cheap ones cut fine — replace when dull.
