I hadn't posted any thing here for a while. Trying to catch up on things around the little shop despite life's frequent delays. So anyway, I have had this little saw sitting on my work bench for a while. Staring at it mostly. Debating on if I like it or not. A little more of a classic look, but with the rounded heel and rounded edges on the spine. It was made with extra parts so the engravings don't match and the handle has a defect in it. But I thought I would elicit some thoughts from the folks here as well. I have a whole series drawn up with this style. The handle is a size large, btw. Thanks and have a good night.

Very nice, I like it. A little different from your usual super saws but probably what I'd go for tbh.

Hey, if you don't like it, I would be happy to give it a home.

I like it - Especially the handle. The saw as a whole looks like a high class saw made with exquisive care. It would put all of mine to shame.

I like it Ron. I'm a fan of the more classic look and really like the canted plate!

The saw looks great! How do you get the etching put on the blade?

Very nice! I am not a big saw aficionado, but I really like the handle.

Hi George. The etch is a laser etch.Deep enough not to rub off. But one must be careful not to go very deep or it will warp the plate. Don't ask how I found that out. :) It took a couple of tries to get it figured out.

It's a beauty and a keeper IMO!

Really nice.

What's not to like? I would be proud to hang it in my shop.

I like the handle shaping and I think the hang angle is very good also.
