I just ran across a comment on Amazon about this saw – Spear & Jackson 9550B Traditional Brass Back Tenon Saw, 12″ x 15″, Brown/Silver:
“The saw arrives with teeth filed for cross cutting. Spear and Jackson markets this saw as all purpose rip and crosscutting, and the saw will indeed do both well. The teeth are easily modified to a rip pattern if you have a saw file. One last thing to keep in mind is that these saws are frequently over-set, meaning the teeth are set a bit too far perpendicular to the blade. This problem can be rectified in a matter of seconds by tapping the teeth between two hammer heads along the length of the blade. With 10 minutes of work re-sharpening and relaxing the set, the saw will perform rip cuts or crosscuts as well as saws that cost 3 times as much.”
Anyone have any more or better info on this saw?

The tooth sequence sure looks like one tooth down, two teeth up. I’ll double-check.
