    Does anyone have any tips on how to create a curved kerf in a replacement saw handle? I have a pre-1928 D-8 which needs a new handle but the end of the blade is very curved, requiring a curved kerf inside the new handle. I don’t want to split the handle in half or cut the blade in any way.

    Thanks,

    Rod

    This is how this maker did it. Hope you can work it out.

    Thank you Ismail.

    I get the idea generally, but the pictures are not available on the link you sent. Regardless, I get the idea and I will try to do a similar setup.
