26 Inch - 5-1/2 point
Progressive pitchRip Cut
Circa 1928-30s
Clean mid series Disston D-23 from the late 20's mid 30 era. This is from the window before the switch to the steel hardware. These later run saws often get a bad rap due to the plain Jane handles but if you do you're research in many ways they are the best of all worlds. The steel used is some of the best Disston produced and holds a perfect edge. The handles a...lthough not as detailed do take a hit well so you won't find as many with broken horns. Lastly most of the rip saws are progressive pitch, which is nice for dealing with harder woods.
This D-23 has minimal apologies in a nice general use 5-1/2 point progressive rip cut. The handle has a few light marks but no repairs made or needed. The straight plate has a nice mirror finish with only a few stains and marks. The plate retains a clean readable etch. The 26 inch 5-1/2 point progressive rip was sharpened with slight slope to the gullets and perfect for all type of rip jobs. You really can't go wrong with a progressive pitch for general use in the shop. The saw starts easy, tracks well and leave a fine finish. Have a look at the picture and "about the saw" below.

ABOUT THE SAW
HANDLE: Nice example of the later style handle in American beech. A few stains and dings that come with age. Both horns are full, the handle is structurally sold and tight. Please see pics for any other small marks.
PLATE: Clean, straight plate that retains a factory shine with a few stains. The factory etch is clean and readable. I take great care in preparing the plates and each one is hand polished before it's jointed, shaped, set, and sharpened by hand. This 5-1/2 point progressive rip is perfect for most aged woods and just the ticket for general use in the shop or job site. I've custom filed the saw with sloped gullets to produce a saw that cuts smoothly and tracks straight.
please excuse any dust on the plate and in the pictures. It will be wiped down before mailed.Why buy from Me?
The goal with every saw I offer is to bring back the beauty in direct proportion to itsoverall condition.Each one is checked before it’s sharpened and tested then tuned as needed.

NOT SO FINE PRINT
Please carefullyreview 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 answerthem. I make every effort to ship next day after payment M-F.
I now use the ebay calculator that allows local customers a better ratethen a single flat rate coast to coast. I'm happy to combined shipping but please contact me BEFORE payment so I can combineI accept returns up to 14 days . I do not charge extra for shipping but do charge $1.50 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 dealof effort into each saw and I want you, the buyer to be happy. E-mail with anyissues and I will do my best to resolve them in a peaceful way. Thanks forlook and I invite you to read my feedback, It’s a gift and you should bid withconfidence based on it.
