Wanted to buy a new bow saw wanted a large one of a better brand Homedespot only had little cheep ones it broke before the end of the first cut 
I use japanese saws. I tried to find a pic online, but they were all straight.
I have three curved, reverse cut (they cut on the pull) Japanese saws, but can't find a pic.
I can not recommend a better saw than a curved reverse cut japanese style saw.
My pole saw is reverse cut as well.
