I would like to buy a Veritas tenon saw for myself (recently bought a Veritas Dovetail saw) but when I look at the one on Axminster, they seem quite long at 415mm (almost 16″). They also look to have a deeper blade (I mean from top to bottom, not along its longest dimension).

Is the above a tenon saw, it says so, so it must be, but I thought tenon saws were smaller, around 12″ to 14″. At least that’s what I’m more familiar with.
Also, there are rip cut (9TPI) and a cross-cut (12 TPI) tenon saw versions. I want to use the saw prior to cutting dovetails so am I right in thinking I should get the cross-cut version?
Finally, this guy at 1m 48s calls the saw in his hands, a carcass saw, which is more like what I think the size of a tenon saw is (around 12″ in length).

But on the Axminster website, they say the carcass saw is over 16″ long:

I’m confused.
