This Lynx tenon saw review discusses the Walnut handled Lynx Tenon
Saw made by Thomas Flinn & Co of Sheffield, England.
The Walnut Handled Lynx Tenon Saw forms part of the Lynx saw range.
The Walnut Handled Lynx Tenon Saw is made in the following blade sizes:
- 10 inch
- 12 inch
- 14 inch
The 10 Inch blade has a depth of 61mm (2 3/8 inch), the 12 and 14 Inch
blades have a depth of 79mm (3 1/8 inch).
The tenon saws are made with a choice of two teeth type:
The rip teeth are specialised for cutting with the grain and the crosscut teeth
are specialised for cutting across the grain.
These saws have 13 tpi (teeth per inch), with hand sharpened teeth which can be
resharpened again and again for a long life.
The blade has a Lynx brand laser etching with the markings: 'E.Garlick & Son,
Sawmakers, For Over A Centruy, Lynx Brand, Lynx, Made In Sheffield, England'.
The saw blades have a nice weighted brass back spine which offers extra control,
tension and purchase while offering an added attractive appearance.
The brass backed spine has a beautiful mirrored finish which adds to the beauty
of this saw.
This Lynx tenon saw is fitted with a comfortably shaped American Black Walnut
handle which is finished with Danish Oil.
The handle is secured to the blade using three traditional brass split-nut buttons
which sit flush with the handle.
Note: Should it be needed at any point, split-nuts require a special split-nut screwdriver
to make adjustments to them (or the very careful use of two small flat-head screwdrivers
at the same time).
This saw will be one which will be wanted to use again and again and will be handed
down to many generations to come.
This Lynx tenon saw is usually presented in a Lynx brown cardboard box with green
writing on.

"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."
