Howdy all,
I've been reading about people finding their hand saws for cheap. I picked up 3 hand saws at an auction tonight for cheap. As I'm not an aficionado with hand saws and just looking to branch out into the neanderthal world to round out my skills, I was wondering if anyone would offer some advice or identification of these saws.
I thought it was kind of funny that there were two lots of hand saws. The ones I bought were tucked away on a table full of linens(not by me!). The other lot had about 7 saws and went for over $50. In that lot, only two had a name: Disston and Atkins. The Disston one did not say Disston and Sons though. Not sure if I missed out on a collectors lot or not. Anyway, here's my score for this evening...
