This IRWIN® Universal Handsaw features a unique handle-to-blade design and triple-ground teeth to eliminate binding and cut through virtually any material. The universal tooth grind on each handsaw removes material quickly to combine the speed of a coarse-cutting saw with the finish of a fine-cutting saw. A tapered-pitch nose on the blade profile provides improved clearance through materials and adds stability to each stroke, while the thick-body saw blade uses a water-based lacquer coating that helps you deliver fast, controlled cuts.
