A $20 Dovetail Saw that might be able to compete with the Premium Boutique Saws?
For years I've been saying the quality of a hand saw is determined by the last person that has sharpened it and not it's price. But this could just be dogma I've embedded into my shtick or confirmation bias of not buying the nicer things because what I have is "good enough". So in the interest of figuring this out I bought a cheap $20 saw ($25 delivered) and did a half way job of fixing it up. Meaning I sharpened it. Such a monstrous difference from how it performed out of the box. But will it beat the best of the best in the boutique tool market such as Lie-Nielsen, Bad Axe, Bontz, Wenzloff, Florip, Skelton, Medallion and Veritas. Well to find out after I was done I sent it to Shannon Rogers of The Renaissance Woodworker Channel as he's got the expertise and experience to "Tell it as it is." So here's my prep work for the dovetail saw battle. Tune in to Shannon's video for the result.
