's approximately what you want methinks. Erdefen       Sorry, that address does not seem to work despite the fact that I copied it off the website address and pasted it here, suggest you do a Google for Toolbank Express and try the following, Browse Products Hand Tools Saws and Saw blades Gents Saws. It's a peculiar site because when I SEARCHED for Gents Saws it couldn't find it, however, if you Browse as above you may find it, hope it's what you want after all that.

As suggested; Axminster is the obvious source:

it doesn't have Japanese style teeth, if that's an issue for you. You might find a search for "reversible gent's saw" could yield further options (but I haven't tried it).

Just for the record, Lee Valley Veritas are a Canadian company, not US, and despite pleas they have no plans to have a European outlet for their business when I last heard. Brimarc only stock the Veritas badged stuff, and even then only a limited range (not the planes for instance, curse them!). The saws in question don't appear to be Veritas ones, so it could be worth an email to Lee Valley to find out the manufacturer.

Cheers, Alf

Yup, and they don't - the mail order as they described it is pretty grizzly - 4 to 6 weeks!

Can't see it there, but I have to use their site as they got no paper cataloques till sept. Using their site is not always reliable I've found.

Thanks for this, it'll be fine - I have no idea how you found that on their site though (glad you did!) It's the offset handle which is prime requirement so Jap teeth not a large issue, but would have been a bonus!
