It was a real pleasure to meet a fellow LJ, Troy (Horologist) and his wife Cathy, {taking this last minute thought photo), recently. They live in Melrose, which is more than a little trek from here. It was a New Years Eve party and we didn't have too much chance to talk shop but we had a good time anyway.
It was great to meet you and I hope to catch up with you and your Dad soon.

Sounds just wonderful with a new years party meeting.
And I think it is nice to see some faces here, even the wood in the bacground makes it hard to focus. Smiles.
Best thoughts,
Mads

Cathy and I had a great time, not only did we get to see Ken's beautiful shop, we were also treated to tours of the Devil's Den and of a limestone quarry turned into what Ken calls the "garden". Simply amazing.

This 18" saw was something my Dad had around in his shop that I came across when we cleaned it out several years ago. I kept it, probably for the same reason he did, because it's an interesting tool. I've always wondered what special purpose it was made for. I haven't taken it apart or cleaned it up in any way yet, but I could find no maker's mark anywhere on the blade or the handle.
The broken handle was repaired by someone in a very crude way and leaves to question what the handle might have looked like originally.
The blade has an interesting leading end design with two cutout patterns about 7 1/4" apart with a straight edge between them. Any leads or information anyone can give me would be very much appreciated.

Thanks loads to those that took a look at this and responded. You know, if it had a little coarser teeth the ice saw suggestion seems plausible. I decided to take this apart and clean it up some to see if I could find any maker's marks on the metal blade. I didn't. In the way I received the saw, the handle was more or less straight off the back end of the saw.
When I took it apart, I realized that the blade was broken and originally went further into the handle. You could see the outline on the metal to show that the handle actually was set at an angle to the blade. Someone cut a little notch in the blade to catch the screw to help secure the blade, probably the same guy that did the handle repair. I drew a simple sketch to visualize what the handle might have looked like.

Hi Ken, thanks for the interesting mystery. I have been trying to remember where I have see a similar blade design (without any nibs), and I just realized it resembles my tree pruning saw which is smaller but with the same basic shape.
wow ken, no wonder you don't have time to travel, this bowl will take you some time to finish…LOL, this is a really cool turning, and when there done, this will be the biggest bowl of cereal i've ever taken on…when your done here, come on up we can glue up all the heart pine i have and do a bowl of notable size…please remember to bring your laughing gas, as it would be much more doable to take this on while under the influence …LOL..THANKS THIS IS REALLY GREAT…
