Greetings from sunny South Africa,
I am busy doing a WSK on the Tom Brown tracker desing, my question is what is a effective saw tooth design that is practical and works well?

I would appreciate views and pictures on effective saw tooth designs / looks that is pratical and works and not just look good.

Thanks.....RicSA
 
Hi all,
Is there some reason someone cant help me, or did i ask a stupid question?
Cheerio.....
 
I found 2 ways to do it. V cutter in the mill or use a dremel and cutoff wheel to do a chainsaw style tooth. I cut // with a dremel. Then I alternate the pich of the teeth with a flat wheel an 1/8" wide. The v-cutter in a mill produces sawback teeth like the Red Scorpion Six Predator.

Look at my previous thread called "Homemade WSK" for pics of what I did. I got some advice from moosemaster (Tim Horan) and used an 8" triangle file, cut the teeth by hand filing while blade was still annealled. I chose 60 degrees as the angle I used the file on, the teeth came out bigger than I wanted, on the next one I'm going to try about 45 degrees. Hope this helps: Howard
 
I like survival knife saws that cut both directions though. mono-directional saws are ok in a full saw but not in a small knife. Bi-directional is more efficient in a small package and it doesn't clog like mono saws.
 
Hi Ric,

Welcome.

I think you posted in wrong area, but Cougar helped ya on that one. Also if you specify that you want pics and drawings and instructions and/or ask too many questions in one post, people are overwhelmed and less people tend to reply. You will however learn a LOT from this forum, given a bit of time.
