I have an old LN 16" thin plate tenon saw that has a really bad "S" curve in it. So I was thinking of replacing it with a Bad Axe 16" tenon saw, but then I noticed that blackburn tools http://www.blackburntools.com/new-to...rts/index.html was offering a new 24" frame saw (bow saw). From what I've read/seen from supporters of this saw, they say it is a little lighter than the back saw despite being longer, it also has a more agressive tooth configuration so it cuts faster. I have never tried a bow saw so was wondering if anyone here has and if they could do a comparison of the two. the Bad Axe saw will run just below $400 while to bow saw is $40.
