Review:

Teeth filed to a rip profile; 15 points per inch; Teeth are set at .003\" per side for a .026\" kerf; Length including handle is 14\" and overall height is 4-1/4\"; Useable blade dimensions are 9\" long by 1-5/8\" deep. Many people have never had a chance to see what a quality Western-style hand saw can do. This is unfortunate because a proper hand saw is a joy to use. Since dovetailing is a ripping operation, where the kerf is running with the grain, our Dovetail Saw has its teeth filed to a rip profile, unlike other dovetail saws on the market today. With 15 points per inch, this Saw strikes an ideal balance between surface finish and speed. Our Saw blades are made from polished Swedish Steel, and tempered to Rockwell 52. They are durable, but easily sharpened with a file. We take care to make sure our saw blades are properly sharpened and accurately set. Saw teeth are set to keep the blade from binding, but our saws have a minimum set to make it easier to saw a straight line. We carefully hand shape and finish the handles for comfort. Every saw is test cut in hardwood before it is shipped. Solid Brass chamfered backs, select Curly Maple handles. Traditional split nut screws used on open handles.
