Nicholson Circular Saw Blade

Nicholson is a historic American brand originally founded by William Thomas Nicholson in 1864, famous for revolutionizing the production of files and rasps. Over the decades, the brand expanded into various hand tools and power tool accessories, including circular saw blades like the one pictured.

Today, the Nicholson brand is part of the Apex Tool Group portfolio. While the brand has its roots in Providence, Rhode Island, manufacturing for its modern accessory lines, such as saw blades, has largely transitioned to global manufacturing hubs, specifically China, to maintain competitive pricing for the industrial and hardware markets. The brand remains a staple in the hardware industry, recognized for its long-standing American heritage even under consolidated global corporate ownership.
