Finds: Lie-Nielsen Dovetail Saw
By Sean O'Hara
We always love to browse when it comes to Lie-Nielsen. They make fine hand tools that are works of art in and of themselves. Their saws – like this dovetail for instance – are always simple, elegant and functional.
Lie-Nielsen saws have a beautifully sculpted open-handle style that shows off the wiping varnish finish that presents a “softer” feel to the maple handle. The steel is Swedish high carbon hardened steel (16 teeth every 25mm) with a milled, solid back that adds weight to the cut.
It’s a great saw for smaller or fine detailed projects. Basically you wouldn’t want to whip this out on a construction site; it’s more of a finesse tool that’s best fitted to building high end furniture.
In short, it’s made for people who enjoy crafting as much as the finished product. Street pricing starts at $125.
