Design Rationale:

• Bottom line up front: We designed an open-handled, thin (.018) plate saw 14" long with just enough real estate below the back to facilitate difficult cuts with long rifle precision.
• Traditional 1876 Disston-pattern open handle, available in standard quartersawn white oak, or optional QS cherry, QS walnut, & QS hard maple. Three sizes--small, regular and large--will fit virtually any hand. Read more about how we make and finish our handles.
• Traditional folded sawback finished in gunsmith-blued black-oxided carbon stel, or optional bright nickel-plated steel, copper-plated steel, or black nickel (while supplies last). Read more about this critical component for any backsaw, and why Bad Axe promotes the enduring traditional folded sawback over commonplace static-backed saws that disallow retensioning the toothline with heavy use.
• Fasteners available in standard brass or optional black-oxided, niter-blued, bright nickel-plated, or copper-plated steel.
• Plate Depth: 2 1/8" under the back at the heel, canting to 2" at the toe. Handle size will affect this, so we allow an extra 1/8" for larger handles.
• Swedish spring steel .018 sawplate, hammer-set & sharpened at 14 ppi.
