For woodworkers who appreciate traditional quality, this Lynx Thomas Flinn Tenon Saw is a beautiful tool. Made in Sheffield, England – the historic home of fine steel – by the last traditional saw maker in the UK. It has a 12-inch blade made from Sheffield alloy spring steel, taper ground for durability and ease of sharpening. It's filed with 13 teeth per inch (TPI) for cross-cutting, making it ideal for cutting tenon shoulders and other fine joinery. The maximum depth of cut is 3-1/8 inches. The blade is held rigid by a solid, folded brass spine that adds weight and balance. The handle is crafted from stained European beech and feels comfortable in the hand, secured with brass button screws. This saw comes hand-sharpened from the factory and can be resharpened many times. A professional-quality saw at a reasonable price, perfect for serious DIYers and craftsmen.
