Disston Jackson No.1 RESTO-SAW Beach handle sunken-nut Medallion14 inch 12 points per inch Carcase SawFiled Cross Cut 15º rake 25º fleamplate measures 14 X 3.25Circa 1876-77 Jackson was a secondary line of Disston that featured Beach handles and a slight more english style. It’s true they tended to cost less then the regular Disston line however the quality over all is still higher then most. As with all my RESTO-SAWS it features a NEW polished 14 inch1095 Spring Steel, hardness of Rc48-52. This along with the sunken nut hardware, original Beach wood handle, and “blued” back spine make for a fantastic looking and cutting saw. Easily rivaling anything currently being produced today. The original plate is included in sale and can be reinstalled at a later point with no damage to the saw.I have freshly, jointed, filed, set, and sharpened the newly installed plate. The 14 points per inch plate was sharpened to 15º rake 25º fleam. The saw was tested on both Oak and Cherry hard wood and I think you’ll agree it produces a beautiful cross cut. There are some tool box nicks and character dings but nothing that would detract from the look or use of the saw. Please look over the pictures and email with any questions. The back has been reblued and retains the clearly marked factory stamp: Warranted Jackson Cast-Steel. The nuts have been polished and over all it’s in fine shape. I have cleaned, Shellac, and, wax the handle much the same as it would have come from the Factory in Philadelphia. About the Resto-Saw Process I take quite a bit of care and pride in the production of these reconditioned “Resto-Saws”. Each one is a little different at the start but the idea is the same. I start with a tried and true, proven vintage saw. I then disassemble everything, clean, repair, and refinish wood as needed. Remove the old plate, recondition and blue the back as needed. Retooth, install, polish and sharpen the new plate.To me this seems truly, the best of all worlds. You get all the advantages from the best years of saw making combined with the cut quality you can only get from a new, polished blade. Take a look at the current saws offered through the leading saw manufactures and they all use the same 1095 Spring Steel with a hardness of Rc48-52. Now take a look at the design, finish, and price. I think you’ll find my “Resto-Saws” not only a better value, but also a piece of history in your hands. In most cases they are over 100 years old.
