Special Edition Centenary Dovetail Saw – Rosewood Handle

Description This special edition is a run of fine dovetail saws to celebrate our 100 years of manufacturing here in Sheffield, England.  Our company founder, Thomas Flinn started making saws in 1923, in a small workshop in industrial quarters in Sheffield. This was hard and dirty work and as time progressed, his eager apprentice (Frank Ellis) purchased the business in 1936, which is how our family came to own Thomas Flinn. Thomas Flinn has always been an umbrella company for the other brands we manufacture. This special edition Dovetail Saw has a satin finished, heavy folded brass back to give the saw the perfect weight and balance. It is finished with a laser engraving noting our Centenary dates. The blade is hand sharpened to give this the ultimate in cutting performance and is finished with a beautiful Rosewood handle. There is also a special 100 year medallion and traditional style split nut screws and caps. This is available on a 1st come 1st serve basis due to a limited run of this wood. Available as 8″, 10″ and 12″ versions 20tpi in both Rip and Crosscut. Please use the drop down box to make your selection.  See also the image of the street on which Thomas Flinn was operating from originally and shows a perfect example of the working/living conditions of people working in manufacturing in Sheffield.
