Wood saws

I feel so ignorant, I hardly dared post this

Are there different kind of saws for sawing through wood?
I don't mean logs or thick bits, just some ordinary 2 x 1 and similar?

Ooh dear, I hardly dare say this, but I shall not find out unless I ask . . why does the saw I've just bought only go one way?

I can pull it towards me to start off the cut, but it won't go back the other way - pushing it away.
Never had a problem before with any other saw, so don't you men start blaming my technique either!

Re: Wood saws

I'll have to read through that Tpin, thank you.

The teeth are very different from my old saw, they are much bigger and deeper cut, but I assumed it was because my old saw was so ancient and blunt they had worn down.
I thought this one would be nice and quick to saw stuff, but it's a nightmare and just breaks big splinters off the wood.

Re: Wood saws

There are bow wood saws as well.
Some have small teeth some have teeth at different tooth spacings. I would help but too far away
