Fine saw made of steel, chromed steel or stainless steel, used by the surgeon to cut off or amputate a part of the body. In one model handle and blade consist of one whole. Then the straight saw blade is about 12 cm long and gradually tapers to a pointed end. This amputating saw has a double saw-shaped cut with very fine, sharp tips. Another model amputating saw has a loose, replaceable saw blade about 10 to 33 cm long that is stretched in a metal arc and equipped with a straight handle or a pistol butt. Finally, there is also an amputating saw in the form of a handsaw with a blade approx. 22 to 33 cm long and 4 to 10 cm wide. The blade, which is pointed or rounded, has teeth along its entire length on one side. The amputating saw cuts through the bone and is used together with the amputating knife. See also the Gigli saw.

The leaves and heads of the sugar beet are cut off with the beet topper (1). It can be a large knife with a convex curved blade and a straight handle, such as a bread knife or a piece of the blade of a scythe with the point broken off (2). In another model, the blade is trapezoidal and the edge is straight. The beet topping hoe or the mechanical beet-cutter is also used for the same purpose.
