Hand Saws

Here's my newer (14 years old) handsaw box, before I had put hinges on it. I have another one from 1975, but don't have a picture at hand. This one has backups of the Sandvik saws I like from finding them after they stopped selling them. These are what I call handsaws. Other types get called something else. Yes, I use them, but not the ones still in sleeves.

THose Sandvik "Dragon" saws (with embossed dragon design on the handle) circa 1920-1950 have some of the best steel of any saws in my shop. Great etching too - one shows diagram of tooth with instructions of which part of tooth to set.

Painful to look at. Tool abuse, IMO.

I'd be concerned about damaging the teeth. I store mine hanging in their own compartment in a saw till.

Not ideal, careful handling required. Not my current method but may be in the future. This was a test to find out what could be accommodated. Looks like a pretty competent collection.

Is the japanese saw on lower right an adjustable depth dozuki? And if so what uses do you find for it?

[Tom Bender]

It is and works well for box joints and dovetails and would for mortice shoulders, but I don't use it much, other methods work well also.
