IVY Classic 11111 10-inch Dovetail Saw with Hardwood Handle

Product description

What you get: a single 10-inch dovetail saw with a hardwood handle and a reinforced steel back.

Construction: The blade is made from hardened and tempered alloy-steel, processed with an electro-oil impulse hardening step to increase edge durability. A stamped steel spine is fastened to the blade to prevent flexing and maintain a straight cutting edge during use. The saw uses precision ground, tri-edge teeth laid out at 12 points per inch.

Dimensions and cutting: Blade length measures 10 inches with a cutting depth of approximately 1-1/2 inches, making it suitable for tight joinery work. The tooth pattern is ground for cutting on the push stroke, intended to produce clean, controlled kerfs in both soft and hard woods.

Usage: This dovetail saw is designed for fine carpentry—dovetail joints, small tenons, and accurate trimming. The hardwood handle provides a traditional grip for thumb-and-index control while sawing. Ideal for woodworkers who need a rigid-backed saw that tracks straight through delicate cuts.

Pros

  • Reinforced steel spine keeps blade rigid
  • Hardened alloy-steel blade for durability
  • Precision-ground tri-edge teeth for clean cuts

Cons

  • Tooth finish can be inconsistent between pieces
  • Relatively fine tooth count may be aggressive for some tasks
  • Some units may require light sharpening or setting

VerdictA robust, traditional dovetail saw suitable for accurate woodworking tasks. The reinforced steel back and tempered alloy-steel blade hold a straight line; tooth geometry favors push-stroke cutting. Good for dovetails and clean trims, though tooth finish and aggressiveness may vary by unit.

Reviews

  1. Andrew Zagers 4/5

    Does the job

    Not as keen as a Japanese pull saw, but performs reliably.

  2. Christopher Rowley 1/5

    Teeth finish disappointing

    Teeth arrived square and rough; some gullets are irregular, causing the blade to bind rather than slice cleanly.

  3. eddy monye 5/5

    Solid construction

    Prompt delivery, nicely packaged and feels well made.

  4. Gary Wiley 5/5

    Sturdy but tooth count may be coarse

    Good rigidity and a firm blade, but I wanted fewer teeth for smoother joint stock removal.
