Reliable source for folded saw backs?

[David Kuzdrall]

This is really a continuation of an old thread that I resurrected regarding folding brass backs for backsaw builds...

I know where I can buy slotted brass backs (and have done so with 100% satisfaction, but are there any good sources for folded brass backs? How about bronze, steel / stainless steel?

thx

Tools for Working Wood sells Grammercy saw kits. $120.00 for a blade and back,plan for handle. Might be a bit steep for a kit.

I've been searching for folded brass backs myself ever since Wenzloff lost his supplier. Got a couple from him a few years back and they were great and a real bargain price, but no luck finding another source. Hopefully someone out there knows of an outlet for them. Or is willing to go into the folded brass back business. ;)

There is a seller on d bay I saw today that has a few backs listed. I don't know anything about him. Is anyone here familiar with his work? Not trying to promote anyone just curious.

I bought mine from Ron Bontz, at Bontz saw works. As far as I know they are still available.
