Bottom: Ebony Handle 5" Detail Saw

I have used these off and on and especially liked one that I tried in David Nichols' shop once. So I asked what kind it was and bought one for my shop. I have been using it for six months or so and it has become my go to saw. Where once I would grab a jig saw or small battery powered skill type saw, I now pick up this pull saw for cutting or trimming on any boat building project. Also, there are lots of times when a piece of wood needs to be trimmed flush and this saw is perfect for those jobs.

David told me that the teeth, while sharp enough to draw blood if you grab the saw right (or, wrong), are also delicate and will not hold up to nails or tacks in the wood. He suggested that I keep a good blade for clean wood and an older one for questionable work - so we got some replacement blades. It takes just a second to change them.

The little detail saw can be used for tight spots or anywhere a keyhole saw would be used. It is super sharp too. Its blade is 5 inches long.
