I was out running around yesterday and decided to stop in one of the local antique stores. I had bought several items there before at pretty good prices and I remembered seeing some hand saw hanging in one of the booths. I came home with not 1 but 5 Disston hand saws. It pays to go rummaging sometime… This particular one is a D-8. I scrapped years of abuse off the handle and put some Danish Oil on it but all of them are in as good a shape as this one. I’ve got to get on the Disston Web site and attempt to determine the age…I’ll let you know!

After seeing Paul use the smaller panel saws I have become quite fond of the smaller lengths especially using at the bench.

Colin, It had a really heavy shellac finish on it that had a vitiated appearance with something on it that looked like what you would see on top of a corroded battery. I scraped it of and put some Dutch oil on it. It does look great! Feels better in my hand than the old corroded finish too. I sharpened it and I think I need a saw set now to reset the teeth. It binds pretty bad on the cross cut.
