Saws. Like many on this list I have a soft spot for good saws. But how often do
you run across a good saw? It has been years for me. However, about two weeks
ago at a flea, pawing thru another barrel stuffed with what once were saws, I
found a little gem. It was grungy but I could tell it was a worthy. Disston, D8,
20 inches, 8-points, better than 100 years old. Cleaned up well. the chip on the
top horn hid out pretty well. 8-ppi is my visual limit for saw sharpening, but
maybe past my limit these days. It is sharp enough to cut well, but I think it
will get another pass to see if I can improve on that. No matter, it will always
be worth the $2.00 I paid for it.
