I want to get a new dovetail saw to replace my existing backsaw for dovetail cutting. The current saw is a standard backsaw (Pennsylvania Saw Corporation #78, 12ppi, 12" long, 3" deep). I also have another even larger backsaw and a Zona universal razor saw. I'd like something easier to control and more accurate. Here are the candidates I'm considering (actually would probably buy the first one listed barring some convincing reasons why i shouldn't). The LN's are at the top of my price range.
Have I overlooked anything else that I should consider? Which would you recommend based on your use and why? Which one(s) should be avoided? At this point I'm open to western and eastern styles.
Lie Nielsen Dovetail Saw $125
Lie Nielsen Tapered Dovetail Saw $125
Veritas Standard Dovetail Saw $69
Rockler Ikedame Small Dovetail Saw $27
Rockler Dozuki Dovetail Saw $48
Any others?
Thanks for your thoughts and advice
