A collapsible or folding saw is provided as a compact hand tool that when folded covers and protects the blade. The folding saw is movable between an extended useable condition and a folded condition. The saw comprises a frame having a longitudinal telescoping upper member, and first and second collapsible side supports depending from the upper member. A blade is coupled between the first and second collapsible side supports, whereby a tensioning mechanism is provided to tension the blade. Further, a handle is provided having a first portion pivotably coupled to the frame and wherein the handle pivots between a first condition to form a free-end handle and a second handle condition where the handle engages the upper member and encapsulates the blade.
