Beautiful work as always, Pedder! Is the top handle pear wood?

Pedder, are you breaking into the Asian pull saw market? That is a sweet looking tool!
Heirlooms are self-important fiction so build what you like. Someone may find it useful.

Nice work as always, Pedder. Did you use western filing on the pull saw? I played around a bit with them using western filing and finer pitches. 18 to 20 ppi. Never really came to a decision on them.

Both saws are very, very nice. I am sure they cut fantastic as well.

Hei Ron!
This is a western style crosscut on the pull stroke. 16 tpi as I can not see the teeth on finer saws that good to file them crosscut.

Awesome. Gents saws are my favorite to use for fine cuts.
