The Following from Lie Nielsen

We believe that our Back Saws are the finest made anywhere. They are based on a British saw made in 1830. Owning one is like having a piece of woodworking history in your shop.

Since dovetailing is a ripping operation, where the kerf runs with the grain, our Dovetail Saws have teeth filed to a rip profile. Solid milled Brass back, finest quality Swedish Steel blade, Cherry handle and traditional Brass split nut saw bolts.

The tapered version of our Dovetail Saw features a slight tapering of the blade from toe to heel. This taper gives you better control over precise cuts. When you reach the gauge line on the front of your stock, the blade is slightly above the line on the back side, which reduces the risk of sawing past your line. In addition, the taper introduces an angled approach to your stock (when holding the saw back parallel to the bench), enabling faster cuts with less effort.

• The cutting depth is 1-3/8″ at the toe and 1-5/8″ at the heel.
• The saw plate is .015″ thick.
• Teeth are filed rip, 15 ppi, set at .003″ per side.
• Overall length, including handle, is 15″, with a blade length of 10″.
• Overall height is 4-1/4″.
