Need a Dovetail (and general purpose) saw

Mike Hopman in Hastings, MN

>I had two Japanese style saws from Rockler

Takuma 240mm Ryoba Saw

www.rockler.com/ecom7/product_details.cfm?&offerings_id=2397

Dozuki Dovetail Saw

www.rockler.com/ecom7/product_details.cfm?&offerings_id=1062

but they disappeared from my garage, so I'm looking at replacing them. I really enjoyed the Ryoba, but never got to use the Dozuki. Anyways, are there any others that I should look at or consider getting instead? Thanks.

Mike (finally getting around to building a bench)

>The saw debate goes on forever....I was given 2 Shark Saws for my birthday...the fine cut and dovetail saw. Prices are resonable. I have used them both for dovetails with varying degrees of success (it will never be a case of the saw being the problem in my case)

A sharp saw and practice practice practice seems to be the ticket.
