Review: Excellent, if you need it - Most home cooks probably do not need this saw. It is much easier to buy exactly what one needs- asking the butcher to cut it as requested if necessary- and not have to bother oneself. I am not one of those home cooks. I AM a home cook... but we get almost all our meat from a meat CSA, and we are not really able to discuss the finer points of exactly how we'd like our beef shanks cut, for instance; we get what we get. And that's very high-quality and humanely-raised and pastured... but is sometimes not in a form that's easy to use. Like shanks and marrow bones. We get long bones; these are not most useful for cooking. Similarly with trotters. (I'll add that we specifically ask for these and the normal monthly subscription does not contain them.) This saw will make these and similar cuts SO much more useful! I am really excited! I'll add that I am an aspiring home butcher; I'm good at poultry, and am looking to try, say, a ham. And i need a saw for that. I've only given it a quick test thus far, but it seems very effective; the tricky part is to get the meat/bone held so that it can't slide around while one's sawing. I may need a vise for the kitchen, too. But- I am very pleased and excited about the opportunities I now have! Review: Great if you ever break down larger cuts of meat. - We definitely didn't need one this large but have never ordered or used one before. So I thought bigger was better. It did work great but I'd definitely recommend ordering a smaller one too. Great to break down something larger like sheep/ hog/beef. But really hog or sheep could use something under 40" probably easier. ## Features - PROCESS LARGE CUTS OF MEAT FROM THE FIELD OR FARM: This meat saw for butchering at home is a must-have tool when buying large cuts of meat from a local ranch, farm or co-op, or when processing large game in the field. - CUT MEAT TO THE PERFECT SIZE: This durable butcher saw lets you cut with confidence — straight through muscle, sinew and bone.

It will be a part of your meat processing equipment for years to come. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001BQAQ88 | | Best Sellers Rank | #14,253 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #18 in Handsaws | | Blade Length | 16 inches | | Blade Material | Stainless Steel | | Blade Shape | Rectangular | | Brand | Weston | | Brand Name | Weston | | Color | Stainless Steel (Not a Valid Color, Used for Material Description) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 2,351 Reviews | | Cutting Angle | 180 degrees | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00834742007412, 10834742007419 | | Handle Material | Plastic | | Included Components | 16 Inch Bone Saw | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 21"L x 1"W x 6.75"H | | Item Type Name | Serrated Blade with Quick Release Handle | | Item Weight | 1.8 pounds | | Manufacturer | Weston | | Manufacturer Part Number | 47-1601 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | Limited One Year Manufacturer's Warranty | | Model Number | 47-1601 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Teeth | 4 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Ergonomic Handle | | Power Source | Manual | | Special Feature | Ergonomic Handle | | Surface Recommendation | Wood | | UPC | 300678303626 834742007412 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Type | 1 Year Limited Warranty | ## Product Details - **Blade Material:** Stainless Steel - **Brand:** Weston - **Color:** Stainless Steel (Not a Valid Color, Used for Material Description) - **Power Source:** Manual - **Surface Recommendation:** Wood ## Images ![Weston Butcher Meat and Bone Saw with 16 Inch Stainless Steel Serrated Blade with Quick Release Handle (47-1601) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71UoDuO3vbL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: I am thinking of buying this saw for cutting up turkey wings. Does it cut cleanly through bones without splintering the bones? Thanks** A: This was a gift for my son as he had hogs he raised and butchered, did great for that. Unsure about turkey wings. Sorry **Q: I saw replacement blades are pretty pricey. How long will the blade last if it is only lightly used? Thanks for any info!** A: If used lightly, the blades on this thing will last a long time. Be careful not to hit metal or other hard surfaces with the blade. Cutting bone and gristle on an occasional basis will be possible for several years or longer dependent on use. **Q: Which butcher saw works best for Beef tails? Like Ox tails?** A: I have been using mine just for frozen fish. No experience with beef tails. Seems to me the main things are stainless steel and the length of the blade. For sawing something really big might eant whatever saw has the longest blade. **Q: how would this work on dense cured meat? capecollo, specifically** A: From my experience, it would work very well--particularly on frozen and dense product. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent, if you need it *by C***A on April 23, 2013* Most home cooks probably do not need this saw. It is much easier to buy exactly what one needs- asking the butcher to cut it as requested if necessary- and not have to bother oneself. I am not one of those home cooks. I AM a home cook... but we get almost all our meat from a meat CSA, and we are not really able to discuss the finer points of exactly how we'd like our beef shanks cut, for instance; we get what we get.

But- I am very pleased and excited about the opportunities I now have! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great if you ever break down larger cuts of meat. *by K***N on April 5, 2025* We definitely didn't need one this large but have never ordered or used one before. So I thought bigger was better. It did work great but I'd definitely recommend ordering a smaller one too. Great to break down something larger like sheep/ hog/beef. But really hog or sheep could use something under 40" probably easier. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Heavy duty construction *by M***O on February 13, 2014* I was looking for the strongest bone saw at the best price. I took a chance and ordered this saw but I was unsure about the frame material. The description is a bit ambiguous, but I can verify that the frame is made out of stainless steel. Checking the Weston website, I was unable to find a clear statement about the frame construction. The Amazon listing said this is a "Professional" saw, but Weston doesn't have a pro line. I paid a higher price thinking this was a pro model, so I'm deducting a star for a deceptive product title. From the package: * Durable stainless steel frame * Corrosion resistant stainless steel blade * Ergonomically designed handle for comfort cutting * Trigger-lock maintains blade tension * Fast and easy blade changing The model number from the package is 47-1601. It's made in China, if that matters to you. It doesn't to me. Anyone can make products well. The blade is installed and has a plastic cover over it for easy handling when removing it from the package. The handle gives a sure grip and the frame is almost perfectly straight. I have no doubt this saw will perform well when I break down a market hog side. If a 16" saw is big enough for you, this looks like one of the best bang for your buck options. ## Frequently Bought Together - Weston 47-1601 Butcher and Bone Saw with 16 Inch Stainless Steel Blade (47-1601), 16 Inch, Stainless Steel - Butcher Saw Replacement Blades, Set of 3, Stainless Steel (16") - Stainless Steel Reciprocating Saw Blades for Meat, 12 Inch 8TPI Unpainted Reciprocating Saw Blades for Wood Pruning, Food Cutting, Big Animals, Frozen Meat, Beef, Sheep, Cured Ham, Turkey, Bone - 5 pack --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/6167314-weston-butcher-meat-and-bone-saw-with-16-inch-stainless](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/6167314-weston-butcher-meat-and-bone-saw-with-16-inch-stainless) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-10-21*
