Inquiring minds would like to know. Which is better folded or slotted backs. I'm in the beginning stages of building two Wenzloff tenon saws. I ordered slotted backs, but the slot doesn't look quite centered on one and I'm thinking about changing to folded. I just completed two Grammercy carcase saws with folded backs and they were pretty easy to do, but my Adria with a slotted back did look more refined. Or am I just being nit-picky?

Let the debate begin or at least your thoughts! Thanks
