Based in Sheffield, England, Crown Hand Tools is a maker of fine woodworking tools of exceptional quality.
The 8" Dovetail Saw is a heavy saw for its size, due to the solid hardwood handle and brass back. With a high teeth-per-inch (20 TPI), this backsaw is made for dovetailing, as its name implies. The handle of this saw is one of the most ergonomic we've seen, fitting comfortably in the hand for maximum control during use.
Materials: carbon steel, brass, stained beechwood
Made by: Crown Hand Tools
Made in: Sheffield, England
Specifications: 8" blade, 13" total length
This saw has been dipped in lacquer to protect it from rusting. Occasionally the lacquer may go on a little thick and may pool a bit at the end of the blade. This will not affect the functionality of the saw and will wear away with use. Thinners or mineral spirits can be used to remove any excess lacquer.
Care: Always wipe the blade after use/before storing with a light oil, like Niwaki Camellia Oil, to protect against rust.
