    Sears Craftsman Hollow ground stainless steel.

    Too hard for me to hand sharpen.
    They'll likely never rust, but I couldn't get mine sharp.

    Jim,
    Thank you for your response, I would have never thought of Craftsman on this one, even though they have come out with some innovative type tools over the years. Wow, now I have a Simond, A #7 Disston, and a Craftsman saw that are not users, but keepsakes.

    Printed on the side (not etched) is;
    Sears craftsman
    Made in usa kromedge
    Taper ground
    Chrome nickel moly steel
    26 in 8pt coarse crosscut


    Nothing about it being stainless, and it does seem to have a few small rust spots on it.
    I have heard that was made by atkins.

    Use the D7.

    They're excellent.

    After I get over shoulder surgery, the D-7 is my next saw project. I don't know, but cleaning up saws may be good exercise for shoulder muscles, after a time for healing and with doctor approval, of course. I have fallen into the fettling trap. Help! I just can't help it, somebody slap me!

    Bridger,
    Thanks for the info. It is a really big help.
