Not to be facetious. but honestly, the most likely place you will find a
peg toothed pattern is on a saw that cuts shrubbery.  Pruning saws use
it.  The author Holly (another shrub --  now that was facetious)
suggests that tooth could be used on a miterbox saw, the peg shape is
useful for cutting on both push and pull strokes.  That's not really
useful in a miterbox.  I think Holly may have been misguided in that
advice.

Except for cutting tree limbs, I've never found a advantage to the peg
tooth.
