| The Saw Most Carpenters use now comes to you in new and more beautiful models-improved in every feature. | And you know this: The thinner a blade is, if it is stiff, the better it cuts and the easier it is to use. |
|
These new Disston Hand Saws will run with less set . . . cut faster . . . cut easier stay sharp longer, than any other hand saws ever made.
They have better clearance, better bal-ance, better steel, better temper, and will give you better service. They are lighter, with blades thinner, yet stiff, always the goal of saw makers, first achieved by Disston. Now made possible only by Disston Steel. |
|
Never until now could the user get blades so thin, so stiff, so light, to cut fast and run true.
Handles of new design, with larger handholes, for a more comfortable grip, give perfect balance. They have a new and finer finish weatherproofed to prevent warping. There are fifteen different models, all illustrated on the following pages: eight Regular Pattern (standard width) Saws, and seven Lightweight (Ship) Pattern Saws. |

Lighter Blades |
Narrower Blades |
True Taper Grind |
|
Disston skill and experience have produced a thinner blade, for easier, faster cutting. Disston true-taper grinding removes unnecessary weight, without making the saw limber.
|
Save the user's strength at every stroke. Cut faster, run smoother, and have better balance. Narrower, lighter, to meet present-day needs. Teeth shaped for faster cutting.
|
Improved to give better clearance, balance, easier cutting. Graduates uniformly from edge to back and from handle to point. Tooth edge is of even thickness from end to end.
|
|
|
|
Thin, Yet Stiff |
New Handle Designs |
Weatherproof Handles |
|
The thinner a blade is, if it is stiff, the easier it cuts. Every new Disston Saw is thin, yet stiff, with correct temper to make it keen and true taper to make it run easy and cut fast. |
Every Disston Hand Saw now has a covered top handle, invented by Disston. This adds beauty and strength to the handle, in which blade has triple anchorage. |
All handles have new weatherproof finish, durable, beautiful. Seals pores and prevents warping. Unaffected by two years test exposure outdoors. |
Every saw in the new Disston line is a masterpiece of saw making; every one reflects the utmost skill of generations of able craftsmen.
Ask your hardware merchant to show you the new Disston saws. Among them you will find a saw to serve you best.
