SOLD For Sale: Simons 26", 6pt rip, Freshly Sharpened - Admiral - 12-21-2020
Everybody asks me about rip saws, well, here's your chance to snag a very worthy Simonds #62 (Simonds stopped making saws in 1926, so this is a truly vintage 94 year old saw in great shape).
Preliminaries: I don't have paypal or any other EFT so payment by USPS money order please unless I know you from the forum, then checks are just fine. First PM with an unequivocal "I'll take it" gets priority, and please include your full name and shipping address so I can print up mailing labels and quote shipping. Pics are in a flickr album linked below.
Ok, this is a 26", 6pt rip saw, freshly sharpened, very strong etch; plate is straight and "sings" as it was hand tensioned back in the day. Plate is in nice condition, handle has a small chip in the top horn, see the pic, but very minor; saw balanced and feels good in the hand. Cuts straight and true, I jointed, reformed the teeth, set and then sharpened it. Will make an excellent user for someone. $85 plus shipping and its yours. Teaser pic:

It is a beauty, Rich!
Simonds saws had the best steel in the business. It was a real loss to woodworkers everywhere when the company stopped making hand saws to focus on those new-fangled power tools.

thanks Bob, it really is a nice saw, with plenty of saw plate. Usually when i find rip saws they are much shallower. Off to a new home!
