old saw

[scottg]

It's a dehorning saw . I have several. see Sellens' Dictionary of American Hand Tools page 402.

Yup Sure 'nuff
  But they work just dandy for other jobs too.
Cut up bandsaw blades for them.  You can cut up metal cutting or wood cutting bandsaw blades either one.

I keep a coarse 14tpi on mine, and use it on heavy soft metal like brass etc.
Eats though a thick block of brass or copper, pretty quick.

The Etsy seller is wrong that's not a hacksaw blade in that saw. I guess you could somehow fit a hacksaw blade in one and use it as a hacksaw but they were listed in old hardware catalogs as dehorning saws. Quite a few of my wrenches have been used as hammers but I still call them wrenches not hammers.

To people who have no idea about de-horning,  these *look like* hacksaws.  It's not just the Etsy seller; most of the offerings I've seen identify this as a hacksaw.  If you're looking for one, your best chance is to search for hacksaws.
