New/Old Vintage Handsaws for Winter 2012: Here's a small but nice assortment of hand and panel saws in crosscut format. While I have about another half-dozen I haven't loaded yet, thought I'd put these up for grabs for now, and load the rest later in the month while I focus on the Bad Axe backlog. Regardless of pricing, these are all oldies but goodies that will cut true and fast. I fully guarantee any of these saws to arrive on your doorstep razor-sharp, straight, wood treated, fasteners buffed and ready to put to immediate use. Please allow ten days for delivery.

24” Disston No. 7 PHILA (1917-1940), 9 ppi x-cut. 6 1/2" at the heel and 2 1/4” at the toe. Another great saw with clean wood and metal, no issues, straight, near-factory-depth plate, and filed for breaking down stock in dense hardwoods. Nib intact, no etch, crisp fasteners. $195. sold

26" Diston D23 Shipoint USA (late 40's) Handsaw, 10 ppi x-cut): This is a fine old saw with a brighter-than-norm plate filed 10 ppi x-cut for finish work in hardwoods. The steel in these late-model D23s before the Porter takeover in the mid-50's was particularly hard, and will keep an edge a long time. Straight plate, crisp fasteners, well-preserved handle, clearly-defined etch. $175.

24" Simonds No. 62 Panel Saw, 10 ppi x-cut

24” Simonds No.62 Blue-Ribbon Panel Saw, 10 ppi x-cut: 6” at the heel and 2 ¼” at the toe. A well-preserved top-of-the-line Simonds panel saw designed to compete with the Disston No. 112 for finish cuts in hardwoods. Lower horn is chipped at the tip, but will supply a chunk of applewood with the sale for the horn repair DIY procedure posted on my website: $185.

24” Atkins No. 69 Handsaw, 9 ppi x-cut: 6" at the heel, 2 3/4" at the toe. Excellent turn-of-the-century handsaw for breaking down stock. The plate is clean and straight with no pitting & filed 9 ppi x-cut. Faint but legible etch.
The wheat-carved apple "perfection" style handle is in excellent condition with crisp, well-defined fastenrs. A scarce Atkins saw in great condition. $195. sold

20” Disston No. 16 PHILA (1917-1940), 9 ppi rip or x-cut:5” at the heel, 2 3/8” at the toe. Deep, straight, near factory-depth plate filed 9 ppi x-cut for breaking down stock in dense hardwoods, or filed rip for finessing deep tenon cheeks. Upper horn is chipped on the underside, so I'll kick in a chunk of applewood with this sale for the horn repair DIY procedure posted on my website: $165. sold

Disston No. 7 PHILADA (1896-1917) 7 ppi rip/x-cut

24” Disston No. 7 PHILADA (1896-1917), 7 ppi rip or x-cut: 6” at the heel, 2” at the toe. Arrow-straight plate filed 7 ppi x-cut for breaking down softwoods or medium-density hardwoods, or filed rip for ripping dense hardwoods. Scattered, shallow pitting on plate does not affect integrity of metal. Full, solid handle, crisp fasteners, nib intact, no etch. A great user: $160. sold

So there's the lineup of my Winter 2012 saws for late January. Again, don't hesitate to contact me if you don't see the kind of configuration above that you want; chances are I have it, and just haven't restored it yet to make it ready for prime time. Cheers ~ Mark

A note on pricing: These are all quality saws I would happily use in my own shop. But Daddy has a Saw Problem—I can only keep so many before SWMBO lowers the boom (I'm sure you're there too, buddy). At any rate, I price saws to recoup my initial investment, and then get an appropriate return on investment for the 3-4 hours I spend restoring them. If you are interested in purchasing any of the above, please shoot me an email.
