Given that they sell a large number of their tools to beginners, I don't understand why they sell a zero rake dovetail saw.
I've heard that too, but I don't think its the case. My LN 15ppi rip carcass looks more like 10 degrees of rake, and the saws I've used at there shows sure didn't feel like 0 rake. I wonder if they used to be and then changed it at some point. I think my saw is like 3-4 years old.

Woodworking is terrific for keeping in shape, but it's also a deadly serious killing system...
