Should I sell this saw for parts?

>That handle looks pretty good for its age.

And I'm not sure that what works for hand planes, selling for parts, works for saws. ToddH would know.

>I'm betting you will get more for it as a saw the handle looks to be missing part of the top handle. if I remember bight from the few Bishops that I have had they had a sharp pointed top horn that is indeed uncomfortable. it looks like one of the previous owners trimmed it off. I don't know what the rest of the saw looks like but I would move it as a saw and hope for $25

>I have never sold a saw blade by itself so don't know.Might do OK but think if it was a Disston you might do better with the blade as a handle would be easier to find.The handle shown is Toast. I have done very well selling saw nuts in the past.Bought a bunch off a guy that trashed the blades of about 40 saws and saved all the nuts and some of the handles.Was a shame because some of the nuts and one handle came off very early Disstons that should have been saved. Somewhere i have a big coffie can full of saw nuts that I bought off another fellow but can't find it.I wouldn't think this single saw nut would go for much....If this saw was mine I would look for a handle to put on it ....Todd
