    Never seen a saw that cuts metal or this shape. Trying to find a backstory. Thank you.

      I have a couple of "hacksaws" that are the same shapes as regular wood handsaws. One possibility of the backstory would be in reusing old lumber encountering nails that must be cut through, just an idea. No explanation for shape.
