>and it's super agressive. More agressive than a coping saw blade IMHO. If your looking at is as a replacement to a coping saw. With some work it might become more manageable. Hey wait a minute, that�s what my wife says about me!

>I have both of those, I think , possibly the versions Lee Valley sold and also the version of the finer one that Dick's sells, which is longer. I use the fine one with a dark handle a fair bit, it's useful for a lot of things one might not imagine, like cleaning up dovetails, but it's not a very maneuverable saw in the keyhole mode. Like Scott I find the curved handled model coarse a lot more steerable, but rough in use.
