I bought this saw and I love it, but it is rather dull. It works ok- great for sawing in tight spots. The problem is it is dull, and I don't have any files small enough. It's got a great etch. The handle is a bit small for my liking.

An ultra fine needle file might do the trick. Beware, it might take all of five minutes work.:D

I'm looking for any Lilliputions that might be reading this thread to help me out.

Sorry,I live in Brobdingnag. I find the Liliputions small minded ....but excellent termite inspectors!

I know sharp cures an awful lot of problems but maybe this time dull is not such a bad thing.

First you need to find an appropriate saw set....

A felling axe, of course, for cutting down blades of grass to make into projects.

A smooth plane, a brace and bit, and a few other hand tools, sold by MARX.....

Those aren't the same. This is actually a piece of jewelry advertising for the E. C. Atkins Saw Company, and was likely accompanied by a pocket watch chain at one time.
