In 1776, when America was still a British Colony and Thomas Chippendale Senior was still accepting commissions for his exquisite furniture, another Yorkshire born Thomas - Thomas Sanderson of Attercliffe near Sheffield, set about making the first ever Pax handsaw.

Today’s Pax 1776 Saw is a faithful reproduction, with a handcrafted maple handle secured with a pair of brass split nuts, hand filed teeth and a hand polished folded brass spine. Flamboyant blade etchings didn’t come along until the 19th century so there’s just a quietly understated engraving on the spine to tell you what it is and where it comes from.
  • This 13tpi tenon saw, filed for cross cutting, makes the perfect partner for the dovetail saw
  • Smooth and precise it makes a neat job of tenon shoulders, housing joints, notches etc.
  • The fine surface finish of the blade allows the user to line up the timber with its own reflection, ensuring a nice perpendicular cut every time
