Bow Saw Blades

[NickWelford]

I have a bow saw that was my father's and must be 50 years old at least. I need a new blade, but am having problems finding 28 inch replacements. Does anyone have any suggestions? Maybe Tuff Saws for a length?

Doesn't sound like a turning saw, 28" is too big.

Is it a horticultural bowsaw:

Or a European woodworking framesaw:

Metal framed horti bow saw.

I'd be inclined to buy a normal Bahco 30" blade:

And just grind the teeth of (for 2") cut it short, and drill a hole.
