Last summer I purchased a Gramercy 12" Carcase saw, and although it was extremely smooth cutting, in fact every bit as smooth as my Shinwa 19tpi pull saw, it would consistently wander to the right during a cut, just enough to be an issue. I loved the saw - great balance of plate depth to length and lightweight back - and it just give lots of feedback. A pleasure to use for finer work.
I finally got around to contact Gramercy, and they promptly arranged for a return label postage paid. They examined, re-sharpened and re-set the saw, and the results exceeded my expectations. The way they handled this issue was professional from start to finish.
Tonight I tried a few test cuts and the character has changed ever so slightly... it seems more aggressive without any compromise to cut quality, tracks straight as can be, and requires just the tiniest bit more attention to start the cut. In other words, perfect for me.
We really are lucky to have toolmakers like this, I picked the right time to switch to hand tools!:D
