    Is this blade totally worn out?

    Ebay seller has been trying to sell this blade for months. He claims it is barely used. Looks like most teeth are missing to me. Or maybe it is a a blade for cutting steel and the tooth angle is just wrong for wood.

    Unbelievable someone would try to sell that as being in good condition.

    What type of blade is it supposed to be? Wood cutting, concrete?

    Seller says "Barely used - still in very good, sharp condition."
    I bet ebay would not argue on returns if you count how many missing teeth on a new condition blade.

    Link to see better pictures of this wonderful item. I bet seller is a politician.

    It is a 14" Rescue Saw blade. The Tenryu description "The RESCUE BLADE series is a high quality line ofcarbide tipped blades for cutting most buildingmaterials including roofing and most non-ferrousmetals. Designed for heavy-duty demolition and foruse by fire departments in fire fighting operations,these blades are excellent for use in pallet breakingand floor removal."

    Seller has a 100% positive feedback.

    After looking at the link, I agree with Lloyd.
    It's a fair price for a 14" rescue blade, provided all the teeth are there.
    Not the best photos IMO

    Probably a very poor quality cut. Good for cutting timber with embedded nails I suppose.

    Looking at the blades impression on the cardboard of the box, I don't think that blade originally came in that box.

    From what I can read the box says for cutoffs in hardwood and soft wood, smooth cuts, miter blade.
