Beautiful handle, Mike really was a natural at handles, he had loads of vintage saws that he copied the style/shape into his own. I have one Peace style he did for me. I would think that is a better momento than the Charlesworth saw, after all, Mike made it for you.

I have the same saw from Mike, but with a walnut handle. The 20 tpi is nice for smaller dovetails, but sharpening teeth that fine would be a challenge. Honestly, I have used it only a couple of times, for some small boxes.

reading glases and a needle file. length of stroke 1" or less. The biggest problem would be overfiling a teeth.
Will resharpen it for you, if you pay both shipments. Just to see one of Mike's saws in real life.
Cheers

Kind offer!....
Actually, this saw is in new condition and is still in the box. I bought it from him at the last Woodworking in America show. He was packing up his display and offered a discount to me and another guy.

You are a very lucky guy!

Looks the twin of mine, except the wood on mine is African Blackwood. I'll try and put photos together along with the matching 10 tpi 16" tenon saw.
Incidentally, the dovetail saw is a pleasure to use. It is part of my arsenal and gets used reasonably frequently.
