You have to be extra careful with a saw this thin blade. It's perfect for dovetails or anywhere you want a fast, easy cut or thin perfect. I like to keep a couple spare blades for one of my favorite saws.
Rather narrow, but is not really meant for sharpening large knives, more for chisels and plane blades. Surprisingly fast cutting. Gives very refined and sharp edges. Quite hard, but gives sufficient slurry. Good buy
Increased weight and heft is significant improvement over original base—dimensions are precise; as always, packing, shipping, technical information and overall professionalism is superlative.
