You never get the answer if you don't ask the question.

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.
