    Great little saw.

    This is a handy little saw that I use more often than I thought I would. It arrived nicely sharpened and ready to work.

    Nice value

    I picked up this saw after using somebody else's 20 TPI saw which I liked. It's fairly sharp out of the package. Sharp enough that I'm not going to mess with it. It has a nice thin kerf and cuts smooth with little to no fringe on the out side of the cut. It feels good in the hand and is easy to control. I'm using it primarily for dovetails and have not found any negatives so far. I cleaned the lacquer off the blade with some acetone first. I highly recommend doing so if you get this saw. This saw is a winner.

    Good little saw, but poorly advertised.

    This is a quality saw for the price. It saws a fine cut with little resistance. But it's a crosscut saw, making it unsuitable for nearly all dovetail applications. I'm not sure why woodcraft doesn't specify why kind of saw this is. If you're looking for a small, sharp crosscut saw that is not only effective but also attractive, this one's for you. If you're looking to cut dovetails, buy a different saw.

    Good Saw, Good Price

    Got it based on the reviews and haven't been disappointed. Honed it for a smaller kerf although it worked fine before. Handles dovetails with ease.

    A Surpurb Saw.Woodcraft is the best

    Nothing more to say.....it's a great saw at a very reasonable price. Thanks Woodcraft!!! You too Lynx !! I have had no problems with it, nor with other products I've purchased from Woodcraft. In my opinion, Woodcraft has quality products, reasonable prices [...] Ok, I said more anyway.

    beautiful tool

    This well made and fairly priced tool with proper care should last many years. Good steel well made. A pleasure to use. I wish that WOODCRAFT would only carry tools of this quality or better.

    Smooth Cutting

    I have only used this saw for a month or so but it does exactly what I bought it for. It makes very smooth, precise cuts. I added no cons because they were obvious when I bought the saw. It will be difficult to sharpen when the time comes and a saw of this size has limited uses. I certainly intend to buy the Lynx 26" crosscut saw and possibly a mortising saw as well.

    The most used tool in the shop

    With thin blade, I use this saw all the time when I need to crosscut small part, thin stock and very delicate trims. It also performs well for cutting joinery.
