Our Story
Our mission here at Vintage Saws is to promote knowledge about vintage hand saws as well as provide the highest quality saws of the 19th and 20th Century to the woodworker and collector alike. All the saws that we sell are newly sharpened, properly set and ready to use right out of the box. We strive to sell only the finest quality tools and know that you will be pleased with your purchase. Please check back here frequently to view our current inventory as it will change whenever we receive new items.
Since all the saws that we sell are antiques, demand often outstrips supply. While the majority of our saws were made by Henry Disston and Sons, we also maintain an inventory of other makers such as Simonds, Atkins, Richardson, Peace, Bishop and other lesser known makers. We have saws that will fit the budget of anyone that stops by, from the occasional hobbyist to the high end collector.
We are also proud to host the web famous Saw Filing Primer and have taught countless thousands to file. In addition to knowledge, we also sell the tools you need to maintain your saws: vises, saw sets and even saw filing kits which include everything you need to learn to file.
We also collect and study vintage Disston saws. Our ultimate goal is to have a section of the site serve as an online museum dedicated to Disston saws and history. In our library section you will find articles which we have authored which we hope you will enjoy.
