Hi all,
Just curious what I bought at the thrift store today. It's a flush cut saw, not Japanese style but with a stiff blade and the ability to flip the handle from one end of the blade to the other. Only identifying mark is JACK in an oval printed on the top side of the blade. Any ideas what I have? A couple search results suggest that it may have been made in Denmark but I'm hitting a wall beyond that. For $3 though I still don't feel bad, it still feels pretty sharp
One link suggested it may have been sold by Irwin but on their site they show this similar looking but different saw:

mine has a wooden handle and as I said only the word JACK in an oval on the blade.
