Bahco 325

The build quality was excellent here - the top-notch Bahco was a single-casting, all-alloy construction, without a millimetre of flex in it. It was a joy to use, the standard bi-metal Sandflex blade making light work of the tests. It had by far the highest price on trial, which cost it an award, but if you're only ever going to buy one hacksaw, make it this one - you could use it for a lifetime.
