A two-handed saw, also referred to as a crosscut saw, is a hand saw that is used for cutting wood across the grain. This saw is designed to be operated by two people, with each person holding a handle on either end of the saw. It is a traditional tool that has been in use for centuries and is still commonly used in certain industries. The terms two-man saw, pit saw, and long saw are often used interchangeably with the two-handed saw. These saws were used in logging operations, shipbuilding, and constructing homes, and were essential to the timber industry before modern technology took over.
