The Small Hacksaw Blade is a spare steel blade for the Small Hacksaw. It keeps a worn saw cutting.
Its main job is the Replace Small Hacksaw Blade recipe. That swaps a fresh blade into a Small Hacksaw, with no station and no skill needed. The blade is also steel stock for the furnace.
It turns up in large numbers in factories. Crates, small boxes and other containers there almost always hold some. The Carpenter is the best occupation for materials. It starts with the most Carpentry skill. For Welding, the Welder starts strongest.
Uses
Replace Small Hacksaw Blade takes one Small Hacksaw and one blade. The result is the same saw with a new blade. This keeps a favourite saw working long after the first blade wears out.
The blade also melts down as a small steel item. Smelt Steel From Small Steel Item turns it into a Steel Chunk at the Advanced Furnace. Smelt Small Steel Item melts it into a Small Ceramic Crucible with Steel at the same furnace.
Research Craft on the blade teaches two recipes. Forge Saw lets a smith make a saw at the forge. Knapp Flint Saw makes a primitive stone saw.

Factories are the place to look. Crates, small boxes and other containers in a factory hold a blade almost every time. Outside factories the blade does not show up in the loot tables.

Notes
- A factory trip can stock enough blades for a long time.
- Spare blades that are not needed melt into steel at an Advanced Furnace.
- Research Craft on one blade teaches Forge Saw and Knapp Flint Saw.
- The blade is light, so a stack of spares costs little to carry.
