Finally a GEC Saw Cut Test VIDEO!!!!

Roland, many thanks for the comprehensive photos: they show it how it should be. Teeth arrangement etc. On small knife based saws, it seems to me that it's essential that the saw tapers pronouncedly (like a jawbone or Swordfish's bill I suppose) The GEC appears to be about the same width all along, not useful in a small folding saw. This may well be as a result of deciding to put a screwdriver blade at the end of the thing, a dubious option anyway, but impossible if the saw is thinner and tapered. Diminishing points for utility....The Drawing Board beckons

Thanks, Will
 
Its not impossible to put a screwdriver on the emd of a fully functional saw. if you look at the earlier thread on the Lumberjack http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/932925-GEC-Lumberjack-Photo?p=10668540#post10668540 you will see a picture of an old Weidmannsheil that has a very functional saw with not only a screwdriver but a caplifter as well.
The saw blade has to taper from bottom to top, not end to end. The saw teeth need to be the widest part of the blade, and there should be a significant taper from the teeth to the spine.
 
This is the lumberjack I want! A magnum 4 5/8" stockman.
