    These were the images I had in mind, but although they reflect both Mining and Utility, neither feature the same teeth used in Mole rat's saw. I am not sure what the difference between the saws was. The utility saw is listed as No.17

    No sign of those bizarre teeth.

    Another mine saw this time with logging style crosscut teeth.

    The common denominator all round is the use of that metal handle.

    Two more references. Both from the HK Porter ownership. The first from 1959

    Disston Utility saw 1959.jpg

    and the second from 1971

    Disston Utility No.17 1971.jpg

    While they mention specially designed teeth for fast cutting, the pix depict a conventional tooth in both instances. The constraints of an artist's line drawing did not usually preclude an exact representation of the tooth shape.

    Yes Paul it was tooth shape made me think it was for stone cutting as the modern stone saws are very similar shape even if they are TC now.
