What is a good finer Rip Saw

[tibi]

Why not a saw from Japan, they are low in price and have a very fine saw blade.
They are so low in price that you don't have to sharp them.

The main problem is that they are too short, so I would need to do more strokes to cut the same amount of wood.

For me thin stock is 12 - 25 mm, anything above will be cut with 4TPI. I will use it for ripping down the grain of course. I have already purchased S&J 24 inch 7TPI saws. Price was good, so I ordered 2. I will leave one as crosscut and I will resharpen one as rip. They will come in a week.

Sounds a good idea!
