Rob Cosman Hand Saw Set

Product Description

What Rob says

Designed specifically to cut dry, furniture-grade soft and hardwoods, our hand saws are made from hefty .035 inch (0.89 mm) thick, durable SK85 spring steel with a Rockwell hardness between 50–55. The thick saw plate makes our hand saws quite stiff, providing easy, kink-free sawing, and the steel retains its edge longer than other varieties while still being easy to hand-sharpen.

The teeth are cut using a CNC diamond saw. The rip saw is filed rip cut at 7 teeth per inch. The crosscut saw is filed crosscut at 9 teeth per inch. Each saw has a minimal .003 inch (0.08 mm) set per side. This produces highly consistent, sharp tooth lines that slice cleanly across the grain (crosscut) and with the grain (rip), while the minimal set keeps the saw laser-straight in the cut.

Our closed-handle design hearkens back to the Disston D-7 saws of yesteryear, but with our own unique modifications. Handles feature memory-enhancing carved finger recesses for a perfect, repeatable fit. Four brass split nuts and bolts secure the handle to the blade at a 16-degree hang angle, aligning your wrist with your forearm for better, more comfortable body mechanics while sawing. We craft our handles from Richlite, an incredibly durable, sustainable, and versatile material made from high-grade FSC-certified paper infused with a thermosetting resin.
