Curious saw. Back third of the plate has no teeth.

H/t to @QuietRadioOperator, who has found that it’s a kind of ‘kerf starter’ saw.

First I’ve heard of one.

@yngmar @wedge Don't think so. It's a German company. Still exists, too. F. A. Schmidt GmbH & Co. KG. Family owned and run, apparently. They have concentrated on industrial blades and knives.

Send them a mail with some photos, if possible including one that clearly shows the etching on the blade. They can probably give you an answer.

@PalmAndNeedle
Thanks for the info. I could see Anker Herz, and the associated mark, but couldn’t find a source.

You're welcome! All I did was hack "Anker Herz Säge" into ecosia :blobcat_not_like_googly:

@wedge How rare. Maybe they filed them all off and got tired as they were filing the new set? Or their equipment broke half-way. Seems like a half-done job either way. But the plate looks nice.

@Artanux @wedge Je pens qué non. Il existe scies musicales, mais ils n'ont pas des dent.

@wedge @QuietRadioOperator that does not make sense to me. A kerf starter is used to start a saw kerf, why would it not have any teeth? Also the usual ones I know are rather short, for marking the location of dovetail pins from the dovetail part of the joint (as popularised by Rob Cosman)

@wedge @QuietRadioOperator … but while researching kerf starters, I came upon the Glen-Drake Joinery Saw, which also does not have any teeth at the start and end of the plate: https://www.inthewoodshop.com/ToolReviews/GlenDrakeJoinerySaw.html
Apparently it is used after the kerf starter, and helps to keep the saw plate tracked in the kerf somehow…?

@wedge @QuietRadioOperator ah, PWW had an article too (although the pictures are not working for me …) https://www.popularwoodworking.com/tools/glen-drake-wild-west-joinery-saw-new-idea-in-sawing/

@daniel_bohrer
Yeah, seems the kerf starter knife makes an initial kerf line, just like a marking knife. Then the joinery saw’s toothless part slides through that to speed, then engages progressive teeth, fine to coarse.
The saw I shared would then seem to be a pull saw designed as a western push saw. 🤪
