A friend, Tod Herrli, wants/needs a rip saw and I have 2 in my saw inventory. I want to trade one of the rips for partial payment for a small apple wood smoother he made/has.

Saw #1 is a Disston D-8, 5 1/2 TPI, with a thumb hole handle. Saw plate is stained and has some surface rust.
Saw #2 is a Sheffield saw Works No 29, 5 1/2 tpi, "Speed King" with etch of a locomotive. Saw plate is pretty clean and has a wheat carved handle.

Which one should I keep and which one should I trade?
