Veritas Dovetail Saw
The saw's spine is permanently moulded onto the back of the blade. It imparts just the right amount of weight to the blade to carry the saw effortlessly into the cut. The polished hardwood handle is shaped to fit the hand comfortably and not just to look pretty, which it also does.
Details
In fact the handle is very reminiscent to the rear tote on a bench plane and this theme carried on in the through steel rod and brass nut used to attach the handle onto the spine. A mortice and tenon joint between handle & back ensures a good solid and secure fixing between the two parts.
The blade is Japanese high carbon steel, 230mm (9") long by 40mm (1.1/2") deep, with razor sharp 14tpi teeth filed with a 14 Deg rake angle, the overall weight is 360g (12.7oz).
