Q: What kind of work is this saw suited for?
It's built for veneer, inlay and marquetry work, where fine, precise cuts in thin material matter more than speed.
33T0828 - Pax Veneer Saw
A superb tool for veneer, inlay and marquetry work, this saw has a reversible blade with a 15 tpi crosscut tooth pattern on one side and a 15 tpi rip-cut pattern on the other.
Its curved tooth line reduces risk of wandering when starting a cut and permits cuts in the middle of a panel, such as for inlay. For neat, precise cuts in thin material, the 3" blade is only 0.022" thick, mounted on a broad backer plate across the middle for rigidity.
The right-hand walnut handle is offset for knuckle clearance and to allow a clear line of sight to your cut.
Made in Sheffield, England, by a firm that’s been making premium-quality handsaws since 1776.

Yes, the curved tooth line reduces the risk of the blade wandering when starting a cut away from an edge, which is useful for inlay work cut straight into a panel.
One edge is ground 15 tpi crosscut and the other 15 tpi rip-cut, so flipping the veneer saw over gives you the tooth pattern suited to the grain direction you're cutting.
It clears your knuckles from the work surface and keeps your sightline on the cut instead of blocked by your hand.
