I used to think the old school hand saw for breaking down primals was fine, but after trying a friend's new band saw setup in Tacoma last month, I'm totally switching.

The clean cuts and speed on his 14-inch band saw convinced me to finally order one for my own shop, so what's a good blade brand for mostly beef and pork?

Yeah, that speed on a band saw really changes your mind. I've had good luck with Timber Wolf blades.

Timber Wolf blades are okay but @joseph_adams66, I've had way more break on me than other brands.

What are you cutting with them? I found they work fine on softer woods, but the second you hit a knot or some dense grain they just snap. It's like they're made for perfect conditions that don't exist in my shop.
