 fantastic saw October 30, 2008
Fritz Gorbach (North Tonawanda, NY USA)
This is a super little saw!!! I have yet to hand cut any dovetails with it, so I can't speak for it's intended purpose, but for a trim here, and a shave there, it is out of this world.
The teeth are aggressive without being out of control, and the flexible body gets it anywhere. plus,it will fit in any toolbox, bag, or belt.
I have replaced this saw twice, because I was foolish enough to loan it to other people who just had to have one, too. But, at the price, you can afford to give a couple away, keep one nice, and one for junk work, or use it to ut some ugly stuff once in awhile, if it's the best way to get in there.
Great job with this one, but Irwin tools of lesser quality are few and far between. Keep up the quality.
 Very useful little saw August 4, 2006

Very useful little saw. Cuts very quickly and cleanly. While I haven't used it to cut dovetails yet, I find it VERY useful for flush cutting dowel plugs and the like. The teeth don't have any set (they feature an alternate bevel), and the blade is very flexible, so it's easy to make flush cuts without damaging the adjacent surface.
My only minor criticism is the location of the blade release button. Unless I'm careful, I occasionally have a tendency to accidentally push the release with my thumb while sawing. I have learned to avoid this mistake most of the time. Others may grip the handle differently, so this may not be an issue for you.
I notice that another reviewer has had problems with this saw bending. This could be the result of two factors;
1: It IS a very small, light weight saw intended for very fine cuts. Irwin makes other heavier duty models for more aggressive cutting.
2: There is an adjustment period for those of us who learned to saw with conventional "cut on the push stroke" hand saws. This is a Japanese style "cut on the pull stroke" saw, and as such requires a slightly different technique. The advantage to "cut on the pull stroke" is that the blade can be made much thinner and more flexible, resulting in a finer cut. The disadvantage is that one must be careful when pushing the saw back for the next cutting stroke as the blade IS more flexible.
