just beginning to acquire good hand tools..am seeking advice on which saws (and why) to buy. I sorta think I need 2-3 for starters??

that would be in my mind a dovetail saw, a tenon saw and perhaps a larger saw.. a small hand saw?

I know that the dovetail saw should be filed for rip cuts.. at least from what I have read..

any help would be greatly appreciated.
