Mid 90s model with box and papers. Asking $450 shipped CONUS. Great condition, no issues.

I have pretty small hands (3.25” across the palm), so handles on tools are always oversized for me. Usually it’s not a big deal, I can still get a good enough grip.

I’ve recently learned that the horns on a saw are supposed to help control it and stabilize against the hand.… and I’m wondering if this might be why I find it so difficult to control the front/back tilt and pressure of the saw. On my smallest saw handle there’s still about 3/4” between my hand and the lower horn. But I’m also a beginner so it’s hard to tell which problems are the tools vs a skill issue.

How important is it for a saw handle to fit your hand? Is it worth making smaller ones for my saws?

I picked up this back saw for $10 a year or so ago for habitat for humanity. It was fine but the handle wasn't great so I made a new one out of sugar maple. Also made the sex bolts at the machine shop at work.

I resharpened it like Paul Sellers described in a recent YouTube short: first three inches with the top of the file flat, next 4 inches tilted about third rotation, and the rest of the sat with the standard rip profile. She cuts like a dream!

I've done a few cross cuts with the from of the saw and have no complaints. I may sharpen the first three inches as a proper cross cut the next time she needs a sharpening.

I'm thinking about trying Japanese chisels. I hear some people really like them and some don't - harder to sharpen but hold an edge longer, and tend to be more brittle so they chip on the edge instead of folding over.
Anyone know of any that are not complete crud, but won't break my bank account?

Hi, please help me identify the tool shown in the attached. I got two of them from my grandfather but I don’t know what they are. thanks.
