Abstract
A saw blade includes an elongated blade body having a first end portion, a second end portion, and a cutting edge portion. An exposed first tool holder portion is coupled to the first end portion and is configured to removably mount the blade body in a blade holder of a powered saw. An unexposed second tool holder portion is defined by a first score in the blade body between the first end portion and the second end portion. The first score is configured so that the second tool holder portion can be exposed by breaking off a first removable portion of the blade body at the first score. The second tool holder portion is configured to removably mount the blade body in a blade holder of a powered saw when the second tool holder portion is exposed.

A saw blade comprising:
- a blade body extending along an axis and including a first end portion and a second end portion, the first end portion including a first cutting edge portion and a first side edge portion joined by an exposed first pointed tip portion, and the second end portion coupled to the first end portion opposite the first pointed tip portion and including a second cutting edge portion and a second side edge portion joined by an unexposed second pointed tip portion;
- a first tool holder portion devoid of a cutting edge and coupled to and extending away from the second end portion opposite the first end portion, the first tool holder portion configured to be removably mountable to a blade holder of a powered saw;
- a first score defined in the blade body between the first end portion and the second end portion, the blade body configured to be breakable along the first score;
- wherein, in a first configuration, the blade body is unbroken along the first score and mounted to the blade holder of the powered saw, and the first cutting edge portion and the first pointed tip portion are exposed and configured to be used to cut a workpiece, and
- wherein, in a second configuration, the blade body is broken along the first score to remove a first removable portion of the blade body, a remainder of the blade body is mounted to the blade holder of the powered saw, and the second cutting edge portion and the second pointed tip portion are exposed and configured to be used to cut the workpiece.
A saw blade comprising:
- an elongated blade body having a first end portion, a second end portion, a cutting edge extending from the first end portion to the second end portion, and an opposite back edge extending from the first end portion to the second end portion;
- an exposed first tool holder portion coupled to the first end portion and devoid of a cutting edge, the first tool holder portion configured to removably mount the blade body in a blade holder of a powered saw;
- and
- an unexposed second tool holder portion defined by a first score in the blade body between the first end portion and the second end portion,
- wherein the first score is configured so that the second tool holder portion can be exposed by breaking off a first removable portion of the blade body along the first score, and
- wherein the second tool holder portion is configured to removably mount the blade body in a blade holder of a powered saw when the second tool holder portion is exposed.
A saw blade comprising:
- a blade body having a first end, a second end, a cutting edge extending along the blade body between the first end and the second end, and an opposite back edge extending along the blade body between the first end and the second end;
- an exposed first tool holder portion coupled to the first end and devoid of a cutting edge, the first tool holder portion configured to removably mount the blade body in a blade holder of a powered saw;
- an unexposed second tool holder portion defined in a first intermediate portion of the blade body between the first end and the second end,
- wherein the first intermediate portion is configured so that the second tool holder portion can be exposed by removing a first removable portion of the blade body from the first intermediate portion, and the second tool holder portion, when exposed, is configured to removably mount the blade body in a blade holder of a powered saw.
