Double-Sided Reciprocating Saw Blade and Related Method

A reciprocating saw blade having a blade body defining a first end and a second end is disclosed. A first cutting edge is located on one side of the blade body, and a second cutting edge located on an opposite side of the blade body. A first tang is located on the first end of the blade body and defines a first acute cutting angle of the first cutting edge. A second tang is located on the second end of the blade body and defines a second acute cutting angle of the second cutting edge. The first and second tangs are alternately and releasably engageable by the chuck of the reciprocating saw. At least one cutting edge is defined by a plurality of groups of cutting elements. Each group of cutting elements is oriented at a respective acute cutting angle relative to a tang edge that defines an effective cutting angle for the respective group of cutting elements.
