What vintage tool is this

redshed · Dec 28, 2015

Found this cleaning out a 94 year olds garage, no idea what kind of tool that it is. Any input appreciated.

It's a "saw set". It's used for setting the kerf on a handsaw after sharpening.

Yeah, a saw set. You have it upside down in the photo. It hooks over the teeth when the teeth are clamped pointing up.

I think this one should be a sticky, as there seems to be a new "saw set" from new posters once a week lately.

I found one of those and it's in my tool set, 'somewhere'. Now I know what it is. Thanks, when I find it, I'll tag it.
