Speaking of Disston-made Jackson saws, do we know why they chose that 
name for their saws?

	I was using one last week and it confirms my opinion that Disston 
never made a bad saw.  Jacksons are second rate in finish only, mostly 
due to the beech handle.  I actually prefer them to the Disston No. 4 
due to the thinner steel plate.  It's like a laser through butter.  
Jackson backsaws are great users.

Steve - who will be doing a pre-PATINA saw sharpening session this 
afternoon with Charlie and the Sawnut
