Thomas Flinn PAX hand saws at The Best Things
Thomas Flinn PAX Hand Saws

Thomas Flinn is the oldest remaining saw manufacturer in Sheffield and continues today to carry on the great tradition of Sheffield saws. The 1776 line is Thomas Flinn's top-of-the-line range. Thomas Flinn's PAX line of saws has the same quality blade and brass back as the 1776 line but without the traditional handle. The handle on the PAX line, while not as pretty as the 1776 saws, is actually quite comfortable, and that is why we chose to only carry the PAX range. The blades are made from the finest Sheffield saw steel.

Thomas Flinn PAX Brass-Backed Saws
These saws are the best value you can buy today in a good quality back saw. The handle is not as pretty as some others that we sell, but it is a comfortable fit, even for big hand. The saw itself has a tensioned brass back and will perform as well as a 19th Century Sheffield saw.

Thomas Flinn PAX Panel and Rip Hand Saws
With the advent of power tools, very few traditional panel and rip saws are still made. Thomas Flinn of Sheffield, along with Wenzloff & Sons here in the United States, are among the few who still do. For the connoisseur, we offer the Wenzloff & Sons saws, which know no equals. For the woodworker on a tight budget, the Thomas Flinn PAX saws are great performers at a reasonable price. For most cabinetmaker's the 22" size is the perfect size for a panel saw (cross-cut). Most people today will probably use a power tool for heavier duty sawing unless they are true purists. The same really applies to rip saws, and that is why we chose the 26 inch rip saw as the best size for small rip jobs that don't make sense doing on a machine.
