SHARPENED DISSTON D-23 Carpentry Handsaw 26 inch 5-1/2 Point Progressive Rip Cut

Description

Henry Disston & Sons
D-23
5-1/2 Point Progessive Rip
26 inch Plate size
1930-40s
The D-23 is a late model offering that packs a lot of punch for it's age, and a favorite of many carpenters. When these saws were in production Disston had reduced the models and consolidated what worked the best over the years.  By this point in production the steel process was a well oiled machine and saw of the late 20-50 all hold a wonderfully edger. The handles although not a stylish are the most durable they made. The screws also improved hold tight to the plate.
The saw for sale has some light cosmetic apologies but nothing that effects use. The plate is smooth and straight with a nice readable etch. Some light stains and marks viewable in the pictures. The saw plate was polished but no sanding and its in great shape even for a late model. The cover topped handle is stained beech wood. Both horns are full and tight to the plate. With age you will find a few small dings, and marks
. The saw is a factory 5-1/2 point progressive rip, a popular size for rip work. The saw is freshly sharpen, tested and ready to go.
Have a look at the photos and details below. Let me know if you have any questions.
Now on instagram! @ secondchancesawworks have a look of what's on the bench.
ABOUT THE SAW
HANDLE:
A very nice factory fresh handle with a few
marks and dings see pictures. Over all it's in good vintage condition with no repairs made or needed. Both horns are fill. The hardware is in good working order and tight to the plate.
PLATE:
Straight and smooth with a nice factory shine. The plate does have a few stains, more so on the back. The factory double etch is very nice and fully readable.
I take great care in my sharpening process and don't simply sharpen and list. After the saw is sharpened I test cut then tune as needed for best use. The 5-1/2 point progressive pitch is a perfect user for all types of woods
. Many feel the progressive pitch aids in smother started and better tracking. By far one of the most popular rip sizes. The saw is freshly sharpened with just a touch of slope and fleam. The results cut and track perfectly on tricky and hard woods.
Please excuse any dust in the pictures the saw will be wiped down before it's mailed. After looking over pics let me know if you have any questions.

NOT SO FINE PRINT
Please carefully review the pictures, I have done my best to describe things as I see them. ALWAYS feel free to email with any questions and I will do my best to answer them.  I make every effort to ship next day after payment M-F.
I now use the ebay calculator that allows local customers a better rate then a single flat rate coast to coast.
I'm happy to combined shipping but please contact me BEFORE payment so I can combine
I accept returns up to 14 days
. I do not charge extra for shipping but do charge .50 to cover the cost of the box. These older saws can damage easily and I find it's better to use a custom box rather then recycle ones.
Please take a second to look at this and other saws I offer. I put a good deal of effort into each saw and I want you, the buyer to be happy. E-mail with any issues and I will do my best to resolve them in a peaceful way. 

Thanks for look and I invite you to read my feedback, It’s a gift and you should bid with confidence based on it.
