Unlike so may of you, I don't have a saw problem. I only have 14 slots in my saw
till: 4 rips; 3 handsaw; 4 panel saw; 8 backsaw (from 6 to 16 inch in rip &
x-cut). Don't do the math, it will only confuse you. Eleven years ago I moved
across country and before moving, sold a lot of saws. Since then it has been one
in, one out. Of course there are usually one or a few "in transition".  I use
handsaws for rough cutting to size, backsaws for joinery. Mostly rough cutting
to size will use an 8-point saw, but the other day I needed to make a long
diagonal cut, about 28 inches, and wanted to limit tear out at the backside so I
reached for my 10-point saw. Now this one is not one I use often. My old
10-point is a nice Disston #8. So I grab it down and set to work. Wow. It is
sweet; fast smooth, cutting and no drift. Then I took a good look at it. Not a
Disston. It's a Simonds #372, a nice skewback model. Feels freshly sharpened.
Handle has been refinished. Where did it come from? I have no recollection of
bringing this saw into the nest or selling the D8. The D8 is gone, proof that I
am not a collector. But a bit embarrassing that I can bring in a new tool and
not remember it. Especially since I generally remember not only when but where
and for how much each tool came into the herd. I don't at all mind having this
new saw, but I just wish I know where my D8 ended up...

Bill, who does not have a saw problem.
