Nice Griphoist. Is that a TU28? You're ready for some real trail work with that.
The BladeForums.com 2024 Traditional Knife is ready to order! See this thread for details:
https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/bladeforums-2024-traditional-knife.2003187/
Price is $300 $250 ea (shipped within CONUS). If you live outside the US, I will contact you after your order for extra shipping charges.
Order here: https://www.bladeforums.com/help/2024-traditional/ - Order as many as you like, we have plenty.
I actually prefer to use a Maasdam rope puller when I have to go into the backcountry, as it can replicate the tension of a small grip hoist when adding a few snatch blocks to the line. It's also much lighter to carry and will fit in my daypack.
Combining a Maasdam with blocks and roll pins is one way to beat end bind. Apologies for hijacking this thread
I made mine to sit on top of my work bench and it will swing as necessary. Having the saw in front of the main board lets me work closer to the blade. . . .
. . .The lag bolts will wear out over time, but you'll file many saws before that happens.

excellent saw vise.
i have one Champion tooth 2 man crosscut saw. most likely i won't get around to making a vise for filing it. the 1 man saws i can file using a handsaw vise. but it would be a good project to make the crosscut saw filing vise so who knows?
