Serations on the blade and handle to assist in positioning. Applicable to both traditional handsaws and compass saws. Similar to patent 88,5521, used by Bishop and Simonds with the main visual difference the use of single blade tightening nut on the former and a more conventional two bladed (wing) tightening nut on the latter. Manufactured by Henry Disston & Sons, Richardson Bros, and Atkins. |  |
