I've never filed a great american but I'd guess just like other tooth patterns the ideal angles would vary depending on a whole bunch of things. Like the size of log, dry or green/wet wood, hardwood or soft wood, the size of the saw, is it a user saw or a competition/speed saw, one or two sawyers, a...

In a nutshell I believe that the advantage of a vintage M tooth is that they are easier to sharpen. The disadvantage is that they may not cut quite as fast as a peg and raker.

No matter what you do, drying and shrinking of wood handles can be a problem with different environmental conditions. Different seasons of the year and different locations can cause problems. My reliable solution is to treat the handle in the eye with something that will swell the wood and will not ...

I don't know about serrations on saw cutter teeth. Serrated edges are blades that have some kind of toothed or saw-like edge ground into the cutting surface. These are intended to be used much like a small saw with a back-and-forth motion. With more blunt cutters and very springy wood maybe the serr...

I believe that were filed with a double cut file. A double cut file may cut faster but the surface is not as smooth as a single cut file. I don't know of any experienced files that do that intentionally. Single-cut files have a single row of diagonal teeth. These teeth run parallel to each other and...
