Reciprocating saw blade

A reciprocating saw blade comprising:

• an elongated blade body extending along a blade axis and having a rear end, a front end, a cutting edge having a plurality of teeth and extending between the rear end and the front end, and a non-cutting edge opposite the cutting edge and extending between the rear end and the front end;
• and
• a tang coupled to the rear end and configured to be received in a blade holder of a powered reciprocating saw,
• wherein the cutting edge includes (a) an inclined cutting edge portion extending away from the blade axis and toward the front end at an acute first angle to the blade axis, the inclined cutting edge portion extending from a first tooth to a second tooth, the first tooth closer to the rear end and closer to the blade axis than the second tooth;
• and (b) a declined cutting edge portion extending toward the blade axis and toward the front end at an acute second angle that is greater than the first angle, the declined cutting edge extending from a third tooth to the first tooth, the first tooth closer to the front end and closer to the blade axis than the third tooth,
• wherein the inclined cutting edge portion has a first length that is greater than a second length of the declined cutting edge portion, and
• wherein the declined cutting edge portion includes at least one intermediate tooth between the third tooth and the first tooth.

• and
• a tang defining a hole, coupled to the rear end, and configured to be received in a blade holder of a powered reciprocating saw,
• wherein the cutting edge includes (a) an inclined cutting edge portion extending away from the blade axis and toward the front end at an acute first angle to the blade axis, the inclined cutting edge portion extending from a first tooth to a second tooth, the first tooth closer to the rear end and closer to the blade axis than the second tooth;

• wherein the inclined cutting edge portion has a first length that is greater than a second length of the declined cutting edge portion, and
• wherein the first tooth is located approximately 0.75 inches to approximately 1.50 inches from a center of the hole.
