Blade length 46-1/2" and was cut from a larger saw blade, There are 29 teeth, alternating two "V" type with one "M" type teeth. No markings. |
|
The two
saws below are not ice saws. Just because a saw has a metal handle does not mean it is an ice saw! They are docking saws. Docking saws were saws used around docks and lumber yards where rough ends of boards were sawed off (docked). Many were made with metal handles because of the rough use and handling. Many were probably used to cut ice also. |
|
Typical
Docking Saw
L 33-1/2, Metal handle attached with two rivets. Numerous holes along both sides of the handle to reduce weight. Standard V type cutting teeth, 0.25 tip-tip (4 tpi). The blade is 6-1/4 wide at the handle and 2-1/2 at the end. The number 3 between the lower rivet and the handle opening for the fingers. |
|
May be a
Miners Docking Saw
L 34-1/2, Metal handle attached with 2 rivets, 4 holes in
sides of handle, hollow handle, Blade width is 6.25" at the handle and
2.5" at the tip. Points sloped at approx 60 degrees, 71 teeth. Probably a
miner docking saw, a version for use in mines. Marking appears to
be an AW mesh in a circle on the handle between the upper hole and the
upper tip. The AW might be Albany Saw Works
