A hand saw comprises a tooth-provided blade (1) and a handle with a fastening part (4) for the blade and a long narrow gripping part (5) extending at an obtuse angle to the fastening part and being shorter than the saw blade (1) in working position. The gripping part (5) is composed of a frame (11) as well as a tooth protecting element (12), which is articulatedly connected to a free end thereof, which element is retractable 180 DEG in relation to the frame. In the frame (11) as well as in the tooth protecting element (12), there are elongated gaps in which the teeth (3) of the blade (1) may be housed. A hinged (7) for the blade (1) is distanced so far from a slendered upper portion of the frame (11) that a short portion of the toothing (3) is visible when the blade is folded into the tooth protecting element (12), so that the user can see what type of blade is present. <IMAGE> |
