What type of pruning saw should I buy?

Tips on buying a pruning saw

Some pruning saws, known as “double-edged” pruning saws, have coarse teeth on one side and fine teeth on the other, used for large and small jobs. These are fine in trees, but I do not recommend them for pruning shrubs or pruning in a constricted place. You can easily injure the bark or damage a branch you intended to leave with the teeth on the back of the blade. I prefer a single-sided saw with a slightly curved blade.
