I found this $2 saw at an estate sale. Medalion is warranted superior and can't read the etch.
I liked the handle, but one side of the plate had some pitting. It was a 9 ppi / 8 tpi saw, so I decided to turn it into a coarse rip saw.
I figured with the pitting, I would have to have a wide set. I needed a saw to rip green mesquite, so now I have a 4 tpi saw.
I planed the old teeth, shaped new teeth, planed again, reshaped, set, planed, and sharpened. I tried it without a handle on 1x pine and it zipped through it like budda'. One more for the nest. I'll soak the handle in Danish oil, and have another user.
