I had a cheap japanese pullsaw. it worked fine for a while, then those long skinny teeth started falling off. when it got too toothless to use, I cut the rest of the teeth off, threw away the handle and tossed the steel in a drawer for some later use. it's been sitting there for a couple of years now, mocking me. so I'm thinking to try building a super fine backsaw from it. western style teeth, really small, lots of them. push stroke, shallow depth of cut, maybe 1 or 2 inches. probably a pretty heavy back, probably a gent's saw style handle. I don't know that I need such a saw, but I'd bet it will see some use.
anybody here ever build, use or even hear of a saw like that?
