> Keep in mind, a saw, any saw, no matter who the maker is, is merely a piece of sheetmetal with teeth with a handle attached. It's all about the filing and profile of the teeth and what you are using the saw for. Nothing magical about it.

This is a *very* important fact which can stand to be repeated. I get a kick out of saw reviews: "Smooth cutting, fast cutting, etc" when any of the saws under review could be filed to cut the same way. They are reviewing the way the saw is filed.

Yes, hang angle and handle comfort is a consideration, but I don't see the hang angle reviewed and a wooden handle can be shaped by the user to fit their hand.
