>Gee, and I thought he would post everywhere I go...

Don't think yo've hit the UK Workshop yet, either

So here's my response now...

Yep, the full-sized hand saws have more taper, though mine have no where near the amount your readings show.

I do love the use of my name in your post, though.

What I was really after was a closer comparison to a half-back in length, hence the request for measuring a panel saw--and an overlay graphic or other way of graphically showing where the taper starts and runs.

Thanks for taking the time, Bob!

Take care, Mike
