Hand saw

A hand saw comprising:

• a blade including a first end, a second end, and a longitudinal axis that extends between the first and second ends;
• a frame that supports the blade, the frame including
• a first leg having a first blade support that removably couples the first end of the blade to the frame,
• a second leg spaced from the first leg, and
• a cross member extending between the first leg and the second leg, the cross member including a hollow portion defining a storage space configured to store at least one additional saw blade;
• and
• a tensioning mechanism operable to selectively increase and decrease tension on the blade, the tensioning mechanism including
• a bracket pivotally coupled to the frame and having a second blade support that couples the second end of the blade to the frame, and
• a lever actuatable between a tension position and a release position such that movement of the lever towards the tension position pivots the bracket in the first direction to apply tension to the blade, and movement of the lever towards the release position pivots the bracket in the second direction to release tension from the blade,
• wherein the storage space is accessible when the lever is in one of the tension position and the release position, and wherein the storage space is substantially inaccessible when the lever is in the other of the tension position and the release position.
