Vintage 26 in. Disston No. 12 crosscut saw with nib, filed 7 P.P.I. Despite its age, this saw has apparently not seen a lot of use. The blade, which has recently been sharpened, is not only straight and in reasonably good joint, the plate is near its original full width, measuring 7⅛ in. at the heel, 3 ¼ in. just above the nib, and 2 ½ in. at the toe. The handle has a shortened top horn, but is otherwise in good condition, tight to the blade, and bears the 1896-1917 “Disston & Sons Philada” medallion. There is a bit of pitting and tarnishing on the blade, and the etch is only partially legible. These blemishes do not affect this saw’s performance, however. It is a brute. With its slightly coarse 7-point filing and a decent amount of set, this saw is best suited for cutting green lumber. It can also be used for cutting up branches and small logs for firewood. While it will also easily chomp through dry lumber, the cut will be rougher.
