Correct revelentchair. Buck saw
And a sawbuck is what you place the wood on to cut.
Its absolutely a buck saw...a bow saw is shaped exactly like a bow that shoots arrows...the type of blade doesn't matter, its the frame that gives it its name...Bing images show two completely different images for the buck and bow...many images are identical to the one he posted and they say its a buck saw.The blade that you have was used for carpentry, cabinet building or general woodworking use.
A "buck" saw, as everyone else has insisted that it is, which would be used for cutting firewood, has a much greater aggressive tooth pattern, like a traditional cross cut saw would have.
Use a Google search for bow saw, and click on the images. Then do the same for a buck saw. Look at the vast differences between the blades. The saw that you have was meant for more fine and precise cutting, where as a buck saw is meant for aggressive cutting where it wouldn't matter, as with firewood.
I reckon a guy could cut firewood with your saw blade, but it is going to give you a workout, and take 20 times longer than it should.
