Comments about Lynx WCLH26 Hand Saw/Crosscut Saw 26" x 8 TPI :

We all know the old American saying, "You get what you pay for." This Lynx hand saw couldn't say it any better. I put my late father's old saws away after I purchased this saw from Woodcraft. OMG! It cuts through 3/4 inch plywood like butter. You won't need a circular saw when you have one of these. What the heck! If you've got the money, buy two.

This is one good saw! I own almost no power tools, being satisfied to make what I do with hand tools only. I own several hand saws, including two Disstons. These Lynx saws are almost as good as the Disstons of old, except the polish on the Lynx's blade isn't as high as the Disston. Other than that, they're equals. But that's okay- I'm more than happy with the walnut handles, excellent ergonomics, fine attention to detail, bullet-straight razor sharp blades and fine balance of the Lynx. It quickly chews through all the wood I can throw at it, and tracks very well. One caveat: Before you use this saw, you really should remove the protective coating on the blade, and then give it a good coat of something to protect it- I used wax. The factory coating is some sort of varnish, and will bind your work. Bottom line: I wish Woodcraft carried the whole line of Lynx saws! I can think of 3 good reasons to own them all.
