That saw sharpening thread is awesome. I have never had to sharpen a SAK saw despite a fair amount of use. I do occasionally "strop" them on an ultrafine ceramic hone which seems to keep the points very pointy. I did though just today pull out a beater SAK I bought cheap for mods and while most tools are in decent shape the saw is noticeably worn and feels very dull to the touch. Now I'm kind of looking forward to seeing what a good sharpening can accomplish.

Hurricane Harvey gave us a little mold smell. So today I was trying to trace the source. I wanted to cut a small panel in a wall in my garage. Of the saws that I have, the only one that would fit the shallow depth was my SAK saw.


As I cut, I saw white dust falling out of the cut and assumed I was sawing through dry wall behind the plywood--but my saw started to dull incredibly fast! It had never dulled before! What the...?

Once I had access to a hole saw, I cut some holes so see what was behind the panel. It turns out, I had been sawing through BRICK with my SAK saw! Fireplace brick to be exact (which is a softer brick).


So on one hand, I want to give a few good Tim "The Toolman" Taylor grunts. On the other, I nearly killed the saw in my Craftsman.
So now I basically HAVE TO buy a Swiss Champ.

Here you can see some of the dulling of the teeth from sawing the stone.


PS Sorry to any collectors who are cringing at the thought of me ruining my, discontinued, Craftsman.

That looks to be a bit worse off than the one I mentioned above. I tested the dull saw against one that has only seen a small amount of wood sawing and the dull one seems to be cutting wood at about half the rate of the sharp one.
I'll try to get some pics of it tomorrow and do some timed cutting tests. I'm very curious to see how close to factory sharpness I can get it and also with how much effort.

As a teenager I used to use a chainsaw for three or four hours a day and learned to sharpen a 21 inch chain in around 5 - 10 minutes, and that time without a doubt made a huge difference in productivity. We regularly sharpened them once a day.

I'm going to see if I can work on the saw with this sharpener.


I think it's the only one I have that may be small enough to fit between the teeth

UPDATE: OK. The Victorinox sharpener is not small enough. It might be possible to fabricate something that would work by using sandpaper and toothpicks. It's looking like it may just be easier to replace the saw blade with a new one.

Big fan of the saw - over half the SAK's I own have it and here they are: Swisschamp, Greenwood, Camper Plus, BuSchroder, SI Farmer, Wenger Professional 1.11.71 and unknown Wenger.
You've got one more comming in!

Will post this week as promissed.

Cheers Nick!

Seems like your package hit my mailbox today!
Maybe I can use the envelope to send the saw back :think:

Anyway, It always makes my day when I get a friendly message along with it!

Thanks buddy! They are/will.

I know a SAK that will get a new coat today :dd:

It's not easy making decent pics of this. But I think you'll get the idea.

The problem with my saw teeth is that they are blunted at the top. The teeth no longer have sharp tips. Do you think this method of sharpening will fix that?

Hurricane Harvey gave us a little mold smell. So today I was trying to trace the source. I wanted to cut a small panel in a wall in my garage. Of the saws that I have, the only one that would fit the shallow depth was my SAK saw.
(Image removed from quote.)

As I cut, I saw white dust falling out of the cut and assumed I was sawing through dry wall behind the plywood--but my saw started to dull incredibly fast! It had never dulled before! What the...?

Once I had access to a hole saw, I cut some holes so see what was behind the panel. It turns out, I had been sawing through BRICK with my SAK saw! Fireplace brick to be exact (which is a softer brick).
(Image removed from quote.)

So on one hand, I want to give a few good Tim "The Toolman" Taylor grunts. On the other, I nearly killed the saw in my Craftsman.
So now I basically HAVE TO buy a Swiss Champ.

Here you can see some of the dulling of the teeth from sawing the stone.

PS Sorry to any collectors who are cringing at the thought of me ruining my, discontinued, Craftsman.

A friend of mine did the same with MY Spirit BO. It was so dull, I could clean my teeth and gum with it.
I've sent it to Vic repair, but it hasn't returned yet.
