Dove tail saw
Would RecommendIrwin dovetail saw cuts very nicely. Easy to use pull saw. Fine teeth for accurate cut.
This thing does it all. I use it for flush cuts, cross cuts and ripping within it's capability. In a jam I have used it to cut a 1 x 4. Like it so well I bought another in case they discontinue it. joe
Possible blade replacements
Would RecommendI bought this saw over a year ago. It cuts okay, but is too flimsy for dovetails and there is set on both sides, so it will mar surfaces when you try to do a flush cut. Masking tape or a business card between the blade and workpiece does the trick. For those who have been complaining about replacement blades, I just found a site that may make replacements that will not only fit this handle, but also the other Irwin pull saws sold at Lowe's. Here is the direct link to the blade that *may* fit-...

Nice little saw but goes off line a little easy
Would RecommendBought to cut dovetails. Works fairly well, but can be driven off the cut line by harder latewood spots in grain (Eastern White Pine) when doing the ripping cuts. A pull cut saw with a stiffened back would do better in this regard but not available locally. It does do better if you mark a very deep line with your knife first. No issues at all with poplar, and no issues cross cutting. Leaves very fine surface. Blade is replaceable but not sure where you'd get them--maybe direct from Irwin? Mad...
