>>> Pretty saws. The breasting on that lower one is remarkable.
Another photo, the "breasting" made clear with a Lee Valley 24" steel straight edge.

>"Breasting" as it pretains to saws is where the bottom edge, where the teeth are, is slightly rounded from toe to heel. What you are showing is just a saw with a Skew Back and doesn't look like it is "breasted" at all since the teeth edge appears to be straight. Looks like an extreamly common later D8 to me.......Todd

>They cut very well after their trip to the sharpener. Now I just need to learn to keep the kerf a bit more even, but they work fast in beech and they cut straight!
