This is a special saw for a friend, who had helped me thousand times and never took anything in reverse. He is a trained German Cabinetmaker and doesn't use much of handsaws but an old ulmia cranken gent saw. So when I asked him, wich kind of saw I could make for him, he ansered a crenked gents saw.

The industrial saws of that ty like the Pax one from Thos. Flinn have a cranked Spine and a cranked Blade to. That way the saw can saw flush. i cannot crank a blade. So I pinned the blade to the spine and cranked the spine only.

Enjoy the pictures,

Cheers

What was the timber type for the Handle.

Ps I’m glad your still making saws

Cheers Matt.

Nice saw !
I have one similar with a cranked back that pivots on a center pin so it can be used left or right. Its made in the 1950s I think. It gets used a fair bit sawing things flush.

Thank you, guys!
