A Henry Disston & Sons Flat Back No. 2 Butchers' Saw
The number 2 Disston butcher's saw is fitted with a Beech handle which
is secured to the solid steel frame with the use of three Nickel-plated
screws.
The top of the frame has a flat surface which is where it gets its name
'Flat Back'. The Flat Back measures 4.5mm (3/16") wide x 22mm (7/8") deep.
There is a brass knurled thumb screw located at the beginning of the
blade, just below the handle, for securing the blade in place.
Frame Sizes: 14", 16", 18", 20", 22" and 24".
(This particular tool in the photograph had an 18 inch frame).
"Cast-Steel, Henry Disston & Sons, Philad'a USA, 2, Warranted"

"Just stumbled across your website and an absolute treasure trove of information.
I was recently given an old Stanley 110 block plane and wanted to know more about it.
Your website told me everything I needed to know.
But there is so much more to read. I forsee me spending a lot of time just reading
page after page. I can appreciate how much time this will have taken to put together.
I just wanted to let you know that your hard work is appreciated."
