Best saw I own.
By: Monty (Dec, 2020)
I bought the 28” rip saw a couple years ago. It took a bit of learning, I hadn’t much experience with hand saws before. Since then I’ve acquired a Disston No. 12, and a number of pre-28 D-8s. This saw cuts substantially faster and far outlasts a sharpening on the D-8s. I find the handle to be the most ergonomic and comfortable I’ve used. I will say that the set and sharpening from the factory were not what I like, but neither was any other saws.

I have the cross cut panel saw. It cuts nice and straight. If you know how to start a saw, you will not have a problem with this one. At first I found the handle just a bit uncomfortable. After some time, I got used to it. For the price charged, this saw is a bargain.

Good saws once you hot rod them
By: Ryan Cheney (Dec, 2016)
I bought a couple of these (12pt crosscut, 5.5pt rip) when I was just getting into hand tool woodworking and had similar problems as another reviewer, and the totes are quite pedestrian, but the saw plates are very nice (breasted & taper ground- not covered in rust and pitting like a vintage saw) This motivated me to learn how to sharpen and set my own saws, and make new totes for them. They need more set than they come with in my opinion. Anyway, these saws are perfect if you want to learn all that stuff. Get the Gramercy saw rasp, and the saw sets from TFWW and get after it. You can only improve on the tote and the saws aren't so expensive you have to worry about messing them up too much. These saws are perfect but they taught me a lot about saws, and now mine are great.

I received a Pax Rip Saw and found it less then advertised, difficult to use, binding in the wood, and wouldn't track properly. Guess could it be the set of the teeth?

26" 5-1/2 ppi

I bought this saw about 5 months ago to do some ripping and resawing. I have been more than impressed with the saw. It has become my go to saw for any sawing that needs to be done quickly and easily. It did take some practice getting such a coarse saw to start cutting!
