I'm eyeballing that curved Z-Saw on Woodcraft, what are you guys using?

Wow! I had to go find out what a "curved Z saw" was… Personally, I don't use a saw to cut dados, I use a plane… Stanley 39 of the dado width I need. The skewed iron makes short work of cleaning the bottom as I go. No chisel required! On large dados, as in half lap joints, I use an older 14 point tennon saw.
