Pax Saws

The Pax brand was founded in 1776 by Thomas Sanderson, part of Sanderson Brothers & Co. Ltd. This company has a lengthy part of Sheffield history being one of the leaders in steel production and it’s by products – one of which was the Pax range of saws. The introduction of such fine saws is something we are pleased to continue today and if you are looking for a premium quality saw, this is the range that will provide you with just that.

Pax 1776 Saws –
* Maple or Cherry Pistol Grip Handle. Finished in Danish Oil
* Mirror Finished Brass Back, roll marked with PAX 1776 logo
* Hand Sharpened
*Packed in blue, presentation style box
* Can be re-sharpened

Today’s Pax 1776 Saw is a faithful reproduction, with a handcrafted handle secured with a pair of brass split nuts, hand filed teeth and a hand polished folded brass spine. Flamboyant blade etchings didn’t come along until the 19th century so there’s just a quietly understated engraving on the spine to tell you what it is and where it comes from.

This 20tpi, rip filed, dovetail variant starts effortlessly, tracks beautifully and leaves an impressively narrow 0.8mm kerf (a perfect slip fit for a 0.6mm cabinet scraper if you are cutting half blind dovetails.) A fine tool that no Gentleman Cabinetmaker’s toolkit should be without.
