Description

The saw has a thin silvery metal blade which is stiffened at the top with a thick brass band. The closed wooden handle is secured to the blade by three brass screws or rivets. Commonly used in cutting smaller or more intricate pieces of wood, and especially for making joints. The characteristic back saw spine helps to keep the saw blade from bowing or bending while cutting. It also limits the depth of cut you can make.
