d95 s

are they any good ?

 

[Graham Orm]

Yes. I'd say that was a collectors piece. Is it yours?

hope it not rubbish

Hello Steve, it's a very nice saw. However as it looks to be quite a late Disston I'm not sure it is as sought after as a nice early example. I like it though, you plan on using it?

 

[SteveF]

yep it was cheap (i think) £35 so will be used
no good just for show

 

[G S Haydon]

Well you have a fine user there Steve at a good price, enjoy it!

That was one of the last saws out of "Disston Precision Incorporated" previously known as "R.A.F. Industries of Philadelphia".

Has nothing in common with a "real" Disston accept the name. In a few years it may become valuable if still in the box.

As far as a user goes, it's great! Tapered blade, good steel, not induction hardened so it can be sharpened, couldn't get a better saw for the price.

I've got one Steve. Great saw, horrible handle IMO.

I don't know who a handle that big is for. I wouldn't like to meet them; shaking hands might be dangerous.

I hope it got big handle
my hands compare to a gorilla
I will put to use
