Well, it's time to confess that I've wanted to make my own line of saws all along, patterned closely after the vintage saws from the 19th century. I am therefore happy to report that my Bad Axe Tool Works line of large tenon back saws are now available for purchase.

I have some big names to measure up to: Pete Taran. Mike Wenzloff. Thomas Lie-Nielsen. Eddie Sirotich. Joel Moskowitz. Ed Paik. Andrew Lunn...'Made in the USA' used to mean something back in the day, and these men have put credibility back into the credo, while other U.S. manufacturers have fallen asleep at the switch. I salute these fine tool makers from both the U.S. and Canada, who have revitalized the ethos of unparalleled American craftsmanship and pride in product—they have my deepest respect, and I humbly aspire to hold company with them.

So I invite you to purchase one! You may place a deposit for your order here, and it always helps to describe in your follow-up message to me what species of wood and dimensions you typically work, and I will be very happy to file the saw with the best rake angle, fleam and gullet appropriate to your work.

Again—many thanks for your interest, and for your support of TechnoPrimitives and Bad Axe Tool Works.

Cheers,
