Now that I have started down this path, I'd like to buy a dovetail saw. I used a few at the tool box workshop yesterday and some were better than others. Some were very tight in the kerf and a lot of work to use. Perhaps they had little to no set on the teeth. Others were easier to use. All that I tried were treasured beauties that I couldn't identify.
So my question is, is there a clear value winner for a dovetail saw out on the market. Is it one of those "you get what you pay for" deals? If I go somewhere like Klingspor, would they have saws and wood that I could try them out on?
I'd really prefer a previously owned saw in good shape, tuned up and ready to go and if it fit the hand nicely. Not sure where to turn to find one like that. Usable old tools are a treasure.
Thanks for any recommendations,
Don
