    Are PAX saws any good?

    Hi guys,
    LV sells an 8" Pax Dovetail saw with 20 tpi. LINK
    I'm trying to find out if it's a good tool or a mediocre tool. (When I think of mediocre tools, the Groz brand often comes to mind.) What do you know about the Pax brand. (I hear it is a sister brand to Lynx, which I also know nothing about.)

    Here's what Im up to. I'm cutting a lot of dovetails in 1/4" poplar. The DTs are about 1/2" long. I normally use my LN tapered saw for DTs, but on this thin/soft wood I've come to conclude that I'd prefer a higher tpi count. My Dozuki cuts it nicely, but it feels long and less controllable. So the 8" Pax caught my eye.

    If the Pax isn't so great, I'll buy the LV fine cut saw. It has 20 tpi, but it is a bit longer.

    Id like to stay under $125.

    What do you folks think?

    Thanks,
    Fred
