But it needs to be a high tpi blade. Go for at least a 24tpi for a cleaner cut

Oh ok,
So you reckon there would be no difference to do it with high tpi saw?
Always assumed it would matter as the blades seem so different - one has teeth and the other is basically sandpaper finish on a metal blade.
It's my first nice fork I have ever owned, so kinda reluctant, but if there's no difference might just use that.

Theyll do the same, ive used metal hacksaw million times and never had an issue, just slowly cut round and you’ll set

Definitely be fine with a hacksaw, 24tpi blade is better. I put cable ties either side of the cut mark to help guide the saw too cos I'm cack handed.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
