Brilliant,sharp, well balanced saw.

I am a fan of hand tools. A number of years ago I was looking for a tenon saw and had using Paul Sellers’ excellent web site for a guide, I found a few old, but quality saws on a popular auction site. These were old and not the sharpest but did a good job for a few years and I learned to make good straight cuts. The advantage of these over modern hardpoints is that they can be sharpened (if you have the tools -and currently I don’t sadly).More recently I made the mistake of buying a hardpoint Irwin Saw and my learned skills went out the window. Nothing I do can make it cut straight. Whilst it is sharp (ish), it’s also flimsy and just horrible to use. So I use it for quick rough cuts where it doesn’t matter (although to my brain it always matters).More recently I was browsing though a Paul Sellers Blog and he mentioned this particular saw. In my earlier searches for a tenon saw, I am fairly certain it wasn’t available on Amazon (or anywhere) so I was surprised to find it here. And the price is excellent.So I bought one, and it is almost perfect.It is sharp, it cuts straight (best cuts I have ever made) because its brass back is rigid, and it looks great.If you want a traditional hand saw to make things out of wood, which should last for a long long time with good care then invest in one of these. It won’t make you a perfect saw-er itself but it will give you every chance of success. Sounds a bit stupid but using this saw makes me happy.This is the smaller of two Spear and Jackson make and I’m planning to get the bigger one soon.Earlier I suggested it is almost perfect. The reason for the almost is my large hands. They make the handle of the saw slightly less comfortable that my older, blunter, saw. Bear this in mind if you have big hands, but it’s no reason not to buy it and love it.Thanks Spear and Jackson for making such a great product, and thanks Paul Sellers for the recommendation and the amazing work you do and thanks to Amazon for stocking it and delivering so quickly.

Ok so it’s at the cheaper end but it’s is great value. It comes sharp and will cut. To get the best out of it take some of the set off and reshope the handle and it now a good little workhorse that you can resharpen. I have 4 S&G saws and have done to this with all and they work for me.

Had a smaller back saw version of this at school. A long time ago. Bit of an investment as more expensive than others but just oozes quality. Recommended.
Kate Newman Ryan –
Precision and reliability. Value for money too.
A Westie –
Bought as a present but build quality on this is amazing. People with larger hands might find the hole or shape of the handle annoying but for me the size was OK.
Gregorio –
I’m not an expert of hand tools.. but clearly you need to have good tool to be precise with them. And this saw his giving me very straight and plumbing cuts. Very happy.
Als summary –
A saw with a really good balance. Really nice in the hand and good cutting edge. Will now last me many years.
