Bahco – Precision, Performance & A Legacy of Quality
The Story Behind the Fish & Hook – A Symbol of Excellence
When you pick up a Bahco tool, you’re holding more than just high-performance engineering—you’re holding a piece of history.
It all started in 1862, when Göran Fredrik Göransson founded a Swedish steel mill that would go on to revolutionize the industry. During a time of economic downturn, he turned his focus to refined steel products, leading to the development of milled steel wire—a breakthrough that proved ideal for crafting fishhooks.
A fishhook must be strong and hard, but never brittle—a perfect balance that required metallurgical expertise. The steel from Göransson’s mill met this challenge with ease, setting a new standard for durability and precision.
By 1886, Bahco expanded into saw blades, and the company needed a logo that symbolized their unmatched steel quality. The choice was obvious—the fish and hook, a symbol already trusted by craftsmen. The icon became synonymous with toughness, reliability, and cutting-edge performance, standing the test of time as one of the oldest registered trademarks in the world.
Even today, professionals around the world ask for “the saw with the little fish”, knowing that Bahco tools are designed for those who demand the best.
