I have a few different backsaws I use at the bench for crosscutting. I use the 14" saw the most, however I also really like my 16" saw. The weight and length really help speed up the cut. I have used...

I have to give a shout out for Bad Axe Tool Works as well. I just recieved a 14" saw from Mark last week and so far it has been great. The build quality of the saw is excellent, the blade is very...
