Cross-cut to Rip?

[Admiral]

I did the opposite, had a 5-1/2 point rip made into a 5-1/2 point crosscut. I used this saw every working day for years until battery operated circular saws came into vogue. Fast cutting, always wondered why an 8 point saw was the standard crosscut after using my handsaw. When other carpenters saw how easy it was to crosscut with my saw I would guess over the years 50 or more had the same thing done to their 8 point saws.

I’ve seen them that way in the wild, I always refiled rip, as cc saws are more numerous than rip, at least in my neck of the woods.
