I once got a Groves and sons backsaw with a broken blade. Mike Wenzloff put a
new blade on it and decided to file it as it had been, which turned out to be
half the teeth
  rip and half crosscut, so he compromised and filed it between rip and
crosscut, and it works fine for whatever I throw at it!
 Best, Spike
