I discovered this back saw in a group of saws I bought earlier this year. It was made some time between 1860 and 1865. Henry Disston, before the sons. Great condition, the saw nuts look like they've never been touched.

Boy, it's a good thing there's not actual electricity under the keys on my keyboard, or I'd be shorting it out right now (drool is an excellent conductor of electricity).

That's a really nice one.
...Naval Aviators, that had balz made of brass and the size of bowling balls, getting shot off the deck at night, in heavy seas, hoping that when they leave the deck that the ship is pointed towards the sky and not the water.

Sweet saw.

That is a beauty. It's worthy enough to be on the Disstonian web page as an example.

I wondered what happened to that saw I misplaced.
Whatever the name is on the handle is the name that I am changing my name to.
So....I would like my saw back
