Saw Kit - 8" Gents Saw

Contact Us: If you would like a custom length or a larger tooth size (note, the standard 16ppi is currently the smallest I can make)

This is a kit to make an 8" brass backed gents saw.  The kit includes a folded brass back, a toothed saw plate, and a ferrule for the handle (handle not provided in the kit, and saw plate is not set or sharpened). 

The saw plate is stamped at 16ppi, comes unsharpened, and with the factory bluing on the 1095 spring steel.

The brass back is folded from 385 brass.  The back will be roughly 10" long total, and include a 2" section that has been cut down to a 1/4" tall tang.  The tang will also include notches for a better glue hold when attaching the handle.  The top corner of the back has been filed off, but the final shape and finish is up to the users preference.

A brass ferrule is included to fit a roughly 3/4" diameter end tenon on the handle where the back is inserted.

Instructions will be included for the assembly and finishing of your saw kit.

NOTES: 

1. You will need to be able to clean the plate, shape, set, and sharpen the teeth on your saw kit.
2. This kit does not include a handle or handle blank. It is expected that you will be able to create one for it.  
3. The saw plate is not installed in the brass back and will require you to install it yourself. 
4. Returns or exchanges of kits that have been modified or damaged from use or assembly are accepted at our discretion.  Such returns will require prior approval including photos of the kit to be returned.  Returns or exchanges that are found to have been modified or damaged will either be refused and returned or subject to restocking fees.
