Review By: I.Ball

Category: Old Hand Saws

Manufacturer: Tyzack

Tool Type: Hand Saw

Model No: 10


           

The Tyzack saw number 10 is a Beech handled hand saw with a steel blade.

The saw handle has quite a decorative shape with more detail than later Tyzack hand saw handles.

The handle is secured to the blade with the use of three brass buttons, one of which is faced with a medallion marked 'Warranted Superior'.

Each button has a flat-head screwdriver slot on the reverse side to allow for tightening and adjusting the screws, if required.

This particular saw was 24 inch long with 5 1/2 tpi (teeth per inch). There were of course different length and different tpi saws produced.
