1880 era No 7 5 point rip saw rates fine overall. Blade measures 28″ by 7 3/4″ high at heel. Blade clean and bright and with just a few spots of tarnish and bold etch. Beech handle exceptional with very minor wear, finish 99%.

An exceptional example of a very early No 7 rip saw. This saw is a behemoth and can really make some dust. High and stout straight blade has a real commanding feel in the hand that lighter saws just can’t match. This saw has the 3 patents date handle which indicates very early in the production cycle. For the user or collector. Highly recommended.
