Based in Sheffield, England, Crown Hand Tools is a maker of fine woodworking tools of exceptional quality. This Flush Cutting Saw has a thin, flexible blade that's designed for woodworking projects where a protruding dowel, tenon, or rod needs to be cut flush to surface level. Materials: carbon steel, rosewood, brass Made by: Crown Hand Tools Made in: Sheffield, England Specifications: blade is 6.25" long, total length is 11.5" This saw has been dipped in lacquer to protect it from rusting. Occasionally the lacquer may go on a little thick and may pool a bit at the end of the blade. This will not affect the functionality of the saw and will wear away with use. Thinners or mineral spirits can be used to remove any excess lacquer. Care: Always wipe the blade after use/before storing with a light oil, like Niwaki Camellia Oil, to protect against rust.
